It might be that there are regional differences in Germany. May be even more here, close to the traditional area of lock fabrication. Here are two padlocks: <https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorh%C3%A4ngeschloss#/media/File:3_Vorhangschloesser.jpg> We would call the left one a "normales Vorhangeschloss" (simple padlock). But the middle one is known as a "Schappschloss" - referring to the feature that you do not need a key to lock it. So it seems, the term "lock" works only along with a picture.
