"Hi Joyce, I would recommend a sash lock for a number of reasons. ie a 3 leaver sash lock is fitted inside the door so is harder to be tampered with and will last longer as won't rust. Also unlike a padlock which is attached to a slide bolt which has screws that can be removed a sash lock doesn't. I hope this answer is helpful to you. Many thanks Neil Askew from budget locks Ltd."
