About the Padlock

A padlock is a small, portable lock with a curved metal loop called a shackle. The shackle snaps shut through a latch or chain, and only the right key or secret code will pop it open again. People use them to keep bikes, lockers, and gates safe. Trace this printable in a how-locks-work lesson and follow the loop around to the keyhole.

A padlock's curved shackle locks shut and needs the right key or code to open.
Padlocks guard bikes, lockers, sheds, and gates.
