The shackle of a padlock must combine various properties. On the one hand, the shackle must be easy to turn so that the padlock can be used optimally. On the other hand, the shackle should be extremely robust to prevent attempts to break it open. Many BURG-WÄCHTER models have an ultra-hard shackle to optimally resist attempts to break open with saws and pinching tools. You can recognise corresponding models by these symbols

While shackles of inexpensive padlocks are only single-locked, high-quality models have a double-sided locking mechanism. Recognizable by this symbol

This increases the burglary protection. Premium locks like the Gamma model have a ball-secured lock on both sides. These offer even stronger protection. You can recognise padlocks with a particularly high "break-open resistance" at BURG-WÄCHTER by this symbol
To ensure optimum protection for every application, padlocks are not only available with a standard shackle, but also with a high shackle. This gives you more room to place the lock in hard-to-reach places or on larger objects.
