What would be the best way to keep a padlock secure if it is in a location where it is exposed to the elements such as rain, snow, and intense heat and cold?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
There are several steps you can take to secure a padlock from degrading to the elements.  

First, you can choose a device designed to resistant damage due to moisture and extreme temperatures.

Second, sealing the padlock with grease such as Vasoline or other thick oil-based lubricants will prevent moisture from damaging the inner components.

Finally, periodic inspections should be performed to ensure the padlock is properly functioning, requires additional maintenance, or replacement if neccessary.<|im_end|>

Can you give me a list of durable, secure padlocks and where I could buy them online?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Sure, I can help you with that. Based on my web searches, some of the durable and secure padlocks that have good reviews are:

ABUS 80TI/50 Titalium Aluminum Alloy Padlock1. This padlock is made of an alloy steel shackle with nano protect coating and survived all the destructive tests by Reviewed.com. It also has a dual ball bearing locking mechanism for extra security.
Master Lock 141TRILF Covered Solid Body Padlock2. This padlock has a laminated steel body with a weatherproof cover and a hardened steel shackle for strength and resistance to cutting. It also has a 4-pin cylinder for added pick resistance.
BestReviews.com3 also recommends some other padlocks such as Stanley Hardware S828-160 CD8820 Shrouded Hardened Steel Padlock, ABUS 20/70 Diskus Stainless Steel Padlock, and Master Lock 4400D Indoor Bluetooth Padlock.
You can buy these padlocks online from various websites such as Amazon, Home Depot, Walmart, etc. Just make sure to compare the prices and shipping options before you make your purchase.<|im_end|>

I guess you mean keep it safe, not save. The padlock is of course on the gate so placing it anywhere else is out of the question.<|im_end|>

I apologise for the mistake I made. 

One option you might want to consider is getting a padlock that's already been made with the weather conditions in mind. However, if you want to save a little bit of money, you could also consider buying or creating a case for the padlock. And if all else fails you can just build a box that would fit around where the padlock is to keep it away from all the elements. Though if you're only renting the property you might have to first talk it through with your landlord.

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to ask!<|im_end|>
