A holder for a portable lock, which has a lock body having a locking mechanism and a spring-loaded button, has at least a first holding section and a second holding section that is disposed opposite the first holding section with respect to a reception space for the lock body, wherein the first and second holding sections are configured to engage around the lock body, when inserted into the holder along an introduction direction, at a first side and at a second side of the lock body that is disposed opposite the first side. The holder has, at least at the first holding section, a securing opening that is formed to take the button of the lock body into engagement in order hereby to secure the lock body against an unintentional release from the holder against the introduction direction.

A hoop lock assembly including a shackle and a crossbar. The shackle includes a straight foot and an angled foot. The crossbar is operable to receive the straight foot and the angled foot, and includes a primary locking mechanism and a secondary locking mechanism. The primary locking mechanism is operable to selectively prevent removal of the straight foot from the crossbar. The secondary locking mechanism is operable to selectively prevent removal of the angled foot from the crossbar.

A combination padlock with an integrated bottle opener comprising: a body featuring a shackle and two spaced apart side surfaces; wherein a central segment of the body extends and protrudes a tooth in the direction of the shackle; wherein the cross-sectional thickness of a free edge of the tooth is narrower than that of the body cross-section; and wherein the tooth extends and protrudes from only one of the side surfaces of the body.

A dual locking padlock having a code locking mechanism and an overriding mechanism is disclosed. The housing has a top body, a stack of dials and clutches mounted on a bottom body, and a spindle engaging with the clutches. The spindle has a channel to store the heel of a shackle. An upward movement of the spindle allows the shackle to be pulled upward to unlock the padlock. Each dial has a plurality of teeth with slope-like surfaces to engage with the wave slots of a clutch. Clutches are rotatable relative to the spindle only when the lock is in the locked mode along with the dials. In the opened mode, a dial can be turned relative to a clutch by disengaging the teeth from wave-slots. The spindle is allowed to move upward either when a correct combination code is used or when a key activates the overriding mechanism.
