The “Knaack® Padlock” Launch

Late in 2024, KNAACK® came to PACLOCK with a problem: customers struggled to find a lock that fit their boxes properly, and the options on the market were cheap, insecure, and lacked keying flexibility. Within six months, PACLOCK designed and manufactured a custom padlock that solved those issues. In April 2025, the KNAACK® Padlock officially launched and began shipping inside every KNAACK® box, giving contractors the security and freedom they’d been waiting for.


About the “KNAACK® Padlock”

The “KNAACK® Padlock” is built to get the job done. Manufactured by PACLOCK and trusted by KNAACK®, this all-aluminum, stainless steel, and brass component padlock is engineered for long-lasting durability. Its high-performance 6-pin cylinder resists bumping, picking, and drilling.

With PACLOCK’s UCS™ cylinder technology, the “KNAACK® Padlock” gives you the flexibility to key alike across multiple locks — from your KNAACK® box to trailers, couplers, and gate locks. Simplify your jobsite with one key that works everywhere, and get the security your tools deserve.

 

A New Era: Direct from PACLOCK.com

The launch of the “KNAACK® Padlock” was more than just a product win–it inspired PACLOCK to build and launch a new e-commerce site, giving customers the ability to buy directly from PACLOCK.com for the first time. Customers can still purchase through Amazon or distributors, but now they have another option that makes ordering easier and more direct.

I led the design of our new product pages and worked with our team to build the site’s functionality, including PACLOCK’s unique ELOK™ “Choose Your Own Key Number” feature. With ELOK™, customers can select key ranges based on cylinder technology, ensuring flexibility and consistency across their entire security system.
