A padlock includes a lock body, a shackle, and a sleeve. The lock body includes opposed front and rear longitudinally extending side walls terminating at first and second end portions. The shackle extends from the first end portion of the lock body. The sleeve covers at least a portion of each of the longitudinally extending side walls, and an internal surface of the sleeve includes at least one longitudinally extending rib contacting at least one of the front and rear longitudinally extending side walls to define a gap between the sleeve and the lock body.

A lock assembly includes a lock body and a keyway covering member. The lock body includes a keyway disposed on an outer surface. The keyway covering member is assembled with the outer surface of the lock body, and is slideable between a covering orientation and an uncovering orientation. When the keyway covering member is in the covering orientation, a covering portion of the keyway covering member aligns with the keyway to cover the keyway. When the keyway covering member is in the uncovering orientation, an opening in the keyway covering member aligns with the keyway to permit insertion of a key in the keyway.
