Comparison of Europa Diamant Padlock and Godrej Navtal 7L Padlock


Looking to buy a padlock? A Comparison of 2 popular padlocks can put you on the right track.
 

Europa Diamant Brass Padlock V/S Godrej Navtal 7L Brass Padlock.



. Europa Diamant Brass Padlock MRP Rs.735.00                                                                       
. Godrej Navtal 7L Brass Padlock MRP Rs.550.00


. Both locks are similarly priced.




. Europa Diamant Padlocks are packaged in an attractive blister pack. Godrej locks are packaged in a neat carton.

. The Shackles on both the padlocks are hardened and hacksaw resistant.

. Both locks have clinched brass bodies without any rivets.

. Europa Diamant Padlock uses pin cylinder technology and has 4 dimple keys which cannot be duplicated easily, giving it robust safety. Godrej Navtal uses traditional lever technology and has 3 toothed keys which can be very easily duplicated, compromising the safety of the lock.

. The Europa Padlock has a rating of 2 tons on the breaking point of the shackle. For Godrej Navtal the rating is unspecified.
