I have to say this is a heavy and seemingly well-built lock. Just its size and weight give a sense of security that whatever it is protecting is going to be safe. Unfortunately, its shackle configuration means it will fit some latches but not others. I ordered this because I was having a PODS container delivered and I wanted a good lock on it once I started putting my possessions in it. It's going to be in a PODS storage facility for a while and I wanted something really sturdy. I was chagrinned to discover the padlock would not fit the latch on the PODS roll-up door. There is just not enough clearance for the shackle to pass through the holes in the latch. It's as much the fault of the design of the latch as it is the design of the padlock but the 2 designs are mutually exclusive -- they won't work together.

I ended up using an old Master padlock with a nice big "U" shackle. It fit through the latch holes with no problem. Of course, its shackle is more exposed and would be easier to cut through with bolt cutters than the 187XD would be but, if the lock doesn't fit, it doesn't matter how protected the shackle is. The old padlock hadn't been used in so long I had to give it a few shots of graphite before I could get the key to turn but it's working smoothly now and should serve the purpose. The next time I go to the hardware store I'll check to see if they have any padlocks as sturdy as this one but which will fit the PODS latch. I'll hang on to this one for some future application.

ETA: I poked around on Amazon and found a lock I think would work for me.

I'll look for something like that at the hardware store.
