about 120 kpsi yield strength for "plain jane" 6-4, which is on par with hardened steels.  That lock will keep the general riff raff away, but any smarter riff raff with a cordless grinder and carbide wheel will be through that lock (or any others for the matter) in about 15 seconds.

"Helping poor and suffering people is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness."
