What sort of padlock is best for an outside shed.
I'm thinking of one that doesn't jam after a few months in the rain.

I've got a very cheap padlock on the garage, no idea of the make, and that
still works perfectly well after over 20 years without ever having had any
oil or WD40 sprayed in it. I'm not really sure why you'd expect only
something expensive or fancy not to jam in outside use.

I bought two shed padlocks over five years ago. Nothing special except
for a long shank.

Still working fine; occasional (annual) oil on the shank, and a bit of
graphite in the cylinder.
