Fun thought, except you don't have to replace the zip tie every time you remove the fastening. If you have a barn door you open once every few weeks, a weather-resistant cheap insecure padlock probably makes more sense than a zip tie. (You might even leave the key in the lock - I've seen that done.) But even so, this is one of the most passive-aggressive "endorsements" I can imagine!

Im quite surprised that the lockmakers went to the trouble of designing a shimmable sprung pall locking part that fits a disc detainer core. If they had just used the standard ballbearings and locking bars that actuate from the cam on the back of a standard disc detainer core, the lock would have been more secure. Then if theyd spent that extra money theyd saved on having less parts, on having discs with false gates, the lock would have been quite good.

The shimming vulnerability is because of the adjustable design. If they had used a ball bearing locking mechanism to solve the problem it would require the user to hold the key in the unlock position while adjusting the shackle height. That would be quite awkward with only two hands. I'm sure there is an alternative solution but it would a bit different, and different is always expensive.

Depending on the application, you may not have the space to get shims into the lock, leaving picking as the only option, and since that requires special tools and skills, this could actually be a pretty secure lock, as long as you take into account the vulnerabilities. Of course most thieves won't bother with either shims or picking and will simply take an angle grinder to the shackle and have the lock off in seconds.
