Selection approach: Security is layered — strongest lock useless on weak hasp + flimsy chain. Match lock cut resistance + chain/hasp strength + fastening to threat level. Hi-security boron-alloy shackle padlocks for theft-prone outdoor; commercial brass for low-risk indoor. Brands: Master Lock, Brady. Companion: padlocks, lockout/tagout, security fasteners, safety equipment.
Industrial Security: Padlocks, Key Storage & Anti-Theft Hardware
AIMS Industrial stocks a comprehensive range of physical security products for workshops, construction sites, warehouses, fleet vehicles, plant rooms and trade installations across Australia. The range covers commercial-grade padlocks, key storage and key safes, anti-theft fastening hardware, and security cables — sourced from Master Lock, Brady, Champion and other established security brands.
Padlocks — choosing the right body and shackle
Padlock selection comes down to three factors: body material, shackle profile, and the unlock method. Brass-body padlocks resist corrosion and are the right choice for outdoor, marine and humid environments. Solid steel bodies offer maximum cut and pry resistance for higher-security applications. Shrouded and hidden-shackle designs minimise the exposed shackle area to defeat bolt cutters. Combination padlocks remove the need for key management — useful for shared gates, lockers and equipment where multiple operators need access. Keyed padlocks can be supplied keyed-alike across a site or keyed-different by zone.
Anti-theft fasteners and tamper-resistant screws
One-way (anti-theft) screws and tamper-resistant fastener heads prevent removal with standard drivers — used widely on public-facing signage, fleet vehicle plates, security cameras and any installation where the fastener itself is the target of theft or vandalism. AIMS stocks the Champion OWS-RT removal tool for legitimate maintenance access. For other stripped or seized fasteners, see our screw extractor range.
Industrial security vs lockout-tagout
Physical security padlocks are designed to resist tampering and forced entry — they are NOT the same as lockout-tagout (LOTO) padlocks, which are designed for personal energy-isolation lockout under AS/NZS 4836 and require specific keyed-different, non-cross-keyed configurations to prevent the wrong operator unlocking equipment under maintenance. Always specify LOTO padlocks for energy-isolation procedures; use general-purpose padlocks for property security only.
Key brands
AIMS is an authorised distributor of Master Lock — the global standard in commercial padlocks with options across keyed, combination and brass-body ranges. Champion, Brady and Sutton complete the security range with extraction tools, signage and tamper-resistant hardware.
