Locks of love are the padlocks fixed by loving couples, on to a fence or a pole or metallic chain/string alongside some wall etc at a public place, to symbolize their eternal love. Besides lovers, often family members and close friends also put such locks at these places, to lock their relationship forever. The tradition probably originated from China but has now spread to many locations around the World.
