Rubber vice pads?
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 2:17 amI was thinking of buying some because I can not stand a scratch on a lock as long as it is completely new so I was wondering if anyone uses them and what is a good brand?

Yeah I just checked Home Depot but they didn't have any but I have found other places that do so I might get one. The felt pads is a good idea too.
