Good Smaller Padlock?

I have an outdoor tap in a wall mounted metal security box, this has a small hasp latch to lock with a small padlock, the problem is in the smaller variety the padlocks are rubbish, the current one is Rolson and has gone rusty, i previously had an Abus and a so called Masterlock all weather which also failed due to weather conditions, the size i need to use is 30 - 40 mm as the larger ones won't fit.
Can't find any this size with good ratings, any suggestions?

Likely maintenance is a better course. keep the lock greased/lubed.0

Or fit something like this if you have room.

You still need to keep them lubed, but at least they don't collect water like padlocks.0 -
Try an Old English padlock. https://www.squirepadlocks.co.uk/squire-220-old-english-small-galvanised-steel-padlock-4-lever

I've always found Abus locks to be very good. Even if a padlock is weatherproof it still requires some general maintenance from time to time.0
