Squire Combination Padlocks
Squire Combination Padlocks
Squire has been making padlocks in the West Midlands since 1780. That's not a marketing line — it's context for why the brand still commands genuine respect in the trade. When a locksmith or a security surveyor recommends a combination padlock by name, Squire comes up regularly. The range here reflects why.
The practical case for a combination padlock is access management. Gates, compound doors, equipment stores, outbuildings — anywhere that more than one person needs to get in without a key being cut and tracked. Change who has access, change the code. It's a straightforward solution to a problem that trips up a lot of businesses and households running on spare keys that have long since been copied or lost.
The CP range is where most buyers end up. The CP40 is a high security combination padlock at a price that doesn't require a business case — it's the right answer for a garden gate or a shared storage area where security matters but the risk level doesn't warrant anything more. The CP50 adds a fourth wheel, taking the combination possibilities from 1,000 to 10,000, which is worth doing anywhere the lock is exposed to public access for extended periods. The CP60 goes further still: it's a recodable high security combination padlock with a hardened steel shackle, built for situations where you genuinely need to control who knows the combination and you may need to change it without replacing the lock.
At the top of the range, the SS50 Combi is a different category of product. Extra high security rating, solid steel body, the kind of padlock that appears in insurance schedules and security audits. If you're specifying a high security keyless padlock for a commercial application — a fuel store, a plant compound, anything that attracts serious attention — this is the lock to be looking at.
The CombiBolt is worth knowing about if you're dealing with a door rather than a hasp. It's a combination door bolt, not a padlock in the conventional sense, which makes it useful for gates and doors where a padlock and staple isn't practical or isn't tidy enough. And the Combi-2 covers the lower-end use case — lockers, luggage, situations where the consequences of a breach are limited and you just need something reliable and resettable.
The honest answer on Squire combination padlocks is that the range is built around real-world security levels rather than marketing tiers. Buy to match the risk, not the price point you're comfortable with.
