A padlock assembly includes a first lock casing part having a lock core mounting portion formed with a core receiving space in a longitudinal direction, and a first shackle mounting portion that extends in a first transverse direction from one side of the lock core mounting portion. A lock mechanism includes a key operated lock core disposed rotatably in the core receiving space, and a latch member connected to one end of the lock core in such a manner that the latch member is disposed outwardly of the core receiving space. A second lock casing part has a latch engaging portion formed with a latch recess and a latch retainer disposed therein to partition the latch recess into a latch retention portion and a latch entrance portion via which the latch member is extendible into the latch retention portion and so as to be rotatable therein between locking and unlocking positions. The latch retainer engages the latch member when disposed in the latch retention portion to prevent removal of the same in the longitudinal direction away from the latch engaging portion. A shackle bar extends between the first and second shackle mounting portions, and has one end connected removably to a respective one of the shackle mounting portions.
