Can anyone recommend a brand of padlock that I can use on the spare of my GQ that won't fall apart?
I realise it can be more hassle than it's work when out bush and I generally remove the padlock before any trips to the bush, but around town I prefer to keep the spare locked.
I had a Lockwood but the entire lock mechanism fell out and I had to use a pair of long nose pliers to undo the catch to remove it.

Stick with lockwood they do have different types some might even be made in china not sure
I would speak to a good locksmith not a hardware store.
