in my experience it's not just the padlock but the hasp as well. Suggest a visit to a good independant lock smith if you can.

not just the quality of the lock,hasp needs to be really good too and protected with some sort of arrangement that prevents boltcrops or an angle grinder being used on it
something like a piece of capped pipe helps

padlocks are a waste of time, they dont stand a chance against mr angry grinder. i cut my bros £150 motorbike indestructible padlock off in about 2mins when he lost the key. the best method to secure is dead locks and electronic bolts, anything external is removable, also if they are on the same property as your house wire them in on a separate alarm zone on the house alarm and religiously put it on at night
