Padlock
A padlock is a simple type of detachable lock, with a hinged or sliding shackle designed to pass through a ring or staple on a door, chest, etc. While some modern padlocks do not require a key to be closed, others do require it, most often as a security measure against leaving the key inside the location being locked.
