That said, you'll sell a lot more cheap locks than you will expensive ones.
Good luck with the business, what kind of truck are you going to run it out of?

Believe it or not, Chinese manufacturers are a lot like manufacturers in America or anywhere else, some produce crap, some produce excellent products that are among the best in the world. Sometimes the same manufacturer will produce crap and excellent products that are rebranded with the names of a lot of American or other companies (check out how many of the popular bike companies are using frames made in China). Country of origin has little or nothing to do with the quality of the product. Every country produces a variety of quality. Check out the country of origin of the famous Kryptonite New York Chain and Evolution Lock (Here's a hint: It ain't made in Brooklyn)

That said, the lock in the OP's question doesn't look like much IMHO, no matter where it was manufactured.
