ABSTRACT:
An improved padlock and particular an improved small padlock that has a shackle adjustable to a desired length includes a lock body and a steel cable. The steel cable can run through the lock body to form a closed shackle. The lock body includes a casing, a dial assembly, two pushbuttons, two thrust members and two latch members. Locking and unlocking operations can be accomplished by depressing the pushbuttons. The latch members can engage with the steel cable to form a locking condition, or be moved away from the steel cable to form a unlocking condition so that the shackle range formed by the steel cable and the lock body can be adjusted to meet user's requirements. It overcomes the problem of the conventional padlocks that provide a shackle which is not adjustable and often does not have an adequate length.
