According to the Guinness Book of World Records it is actually 916lb (415.5kg). Big difference between this and the answer

Why did he make it? What did he use it for? Was it just to put it in the Guinness Book of Records, if so and it has no practical use then what a waste of time.

Mark Lucas-Taylor

Haji Javed Iqbal Khokhar's record padlock is recorded in recordholders.org not the Guinness Book of Records. His first padlock, 2002, weighed 890kg.

John Phillips

Definitely incorrect. Guiness states 916 pounds as do other multiple sites.

Emma Clements

The answer is disputed and there is not enough verifiable information.

Karen Copus

The largest padlock in the world weighs 916 pounds. Who would use it? The largest padlock in the world (according to Guinness World Records) was created by a team of students and teachers at Russia's Pavlovo Arts College and measures 56.8 inches tall, 41.3 inches wide, and 10.2 inches deep.
