You don't need the padlock if you are using the slider portion and
running the cable into your via a door.  The padlock is for locking the
boat to a tree.  I have done this at times when staying at a place away
from the water but leaving the boats near the water in a public area.  I
have several lengths of Surelock cables and just run them together to
protect the number of boats being left there.
