I don't find the famous Master 3 padlock nor that ones you mentioned here and order it from USA would take a while and spihhing and cusoms will cost 5-10x the price of a lock. So that make no sence at all.
Totally understand. Lived in Prague for 5 years awhile ago...not a lot of Kwiksets over there lol. Welcome to the forum, forgive me for the distraction, I meant no arrogance in not paying attention to your location.
One thing that was noticeably different when I lived in Prague was that the cylinder locks were often set upside down so that the pins are facing upwards and the pins are pushing downward on the springs in the direction of gravity. This provided significant differences in the way lock would pick. The springs were heavier to account for the added weight of being 180d. I miss the craftmanship there, a lot less wiggly...I remember my front door lock required the key to be turned in one direction and then across the shear line in the opposite direction, very difficult to pick.
Anyway, in your case, I am not qualified to make a recommendation since I'm no longer in the US, although to make up for not noticing you were overseas I did check if amazon.de would ship a KW1 to CZ and found that it indeed would be quite the mark up.
