I have a couple of Master padlocks (the kind with laminated steel bodies)
on outdoor gates. Now that we have had some snow and the temp. is down
several degrees below freezing, I find that they are frozen: I cannot turn
the key without blasting the locks with a heat gun first. Yes, they were
hanging with the keyhole facing down, but perhaps moisture (melted snow)
got in between the shackle and the body and then froze.

Any recommendations for padlocks that are more weather resistant?

Perce

master has locks for this purpose. they have a plastic or rubber cover.
