Our fire trail gates do it the other way. The padlock is inside a
big metal cylinder
with just the key end of the padlock the only visible part of the
padlock visible.
Corse with fire trails some just drive over the entire gate/boom
with
the landcruiser with a massive great bullbar and **** it that way.

And a simple battery angle grinder makes them all a waste of time.

I have wondered if padlock hasps could be coated in aluminium or similar
to clog the cutting disc abrasive.


It takes quite a lot to clog a cutting / grinding wheel. A coating wouldnt
be enough.

I had to cut through a jammed lock a few years back with an angle grinder -
it was scary how quick and easy it was.

pure aluminium would not stop the right disks


True.

I once saw a grinding wheel shatter. Very nasty. Fortunately the person
using it wasnt hurt. It was in Pakistan, no safety guard, no goggles etc.
He was darn lucky. The grinder looked like it was 100 years old.
