You can also ask your friends and neighbours if they are aware of any good lock stores. In short, choose the one that has good reputation in the market so that you do not have to worry about the quality.

• Type of door:

 The type of padlock depends upon the type of door. So, make sure you speak about it to the store keeper.

• Place:

 The padlocks for the residential use are different than that of the professional use. So, tell the storekeeper where you want to use it.

• Weather conditions:

 Your selection also depends upon the weather that prevails in your area. If the weather remains extreme, you should go for the laminated weather proof padlocks. 

Make sure you remember these points and buy the best padlock possible in your budget; as per your needs and requirements.
