I guess it depends what you want it for.
At my allotments many of us have decided not to bother too much about using a lock.
The scum just smash past them anyway. No hi tech new fangled 3d printed Arduino job. Just a lever.
I keep the padlock there to deter casual pilferers, but it isn't actually doing anything, it's held on with thin wire since the last time it was snapped. I just can't leave any good stuff there.
The ba*****s even nicked me barrer.
