A simple chain does the same with unlimited locks.
Doesn't one lock and six keys accomplish the same? I'm an engineer.

Those appear to be all medeco high security padlocks. The way they are being used prevents a numskull from locking the chain so as that not every padlock can get in. Your point is valid but this is idiot proof.Engineers.

Yeah. A battery operated grinder with a cutoff wheel will take care of It in less then 10 seconds.
Well it will take much longer then that. A chain could also be cut. Those padlocks are virtually pick proof so it takes a key to open them.
And we're right back to six keys for one lock…

If a key holder needs their access revoked, you would need to change to a new lock and give out new keys to the other 5 people. This could prove challenging depending on who those key holders are, where they’re located, etc. But if you use that device or daisy chain locks together, you could just remove their lock from the chain and everyone else is unaffected.
And what happens if you need to add another key holder?
As is often the case, a solution in search of a problem…
This is a 7/16 shank case hardened lock. Much heavier then the locks in the post. Tell me.... how long did this take?
How would opening just one of the locks release the chain?Engineers.

If this was in response to me, I still can't visualize it...?

Each subsequent lock becomes the last link in the chain.
As long as any lock is replaced where it was removed from, access to others remains intact.
Nothing man makes can not be defeated. You are incorrect in believing those shackles aren't harder then that case hardened example. As for the sidegrinder cutoff wheel,you just blew yourself up if that is a gate protecting you from explosive materials.
But let's look at 6 keys- it's obvious that 6 different people need in- those 6 locks. Perhaps there are 6 offices inside all keyed to the same individuals key as their padlock. Perhaps the users are only temporary and often changing. Now you say why not master keying? Well that lowers the security. For six keys to work the lock has to be combinated to allow 8 keys. If users are constantly changing the locks need to be recombination and new keys generated.
