leave a black mark on your leather (permanently)....
OR worse, the lock might scratch/slit your leather due to the sharp edges...
I used to hang the lock on my bag... & one day at my local store - the SA advised me to remove the lock from the ring due to the reasons stated above.
To my horror, she was right - there was indeed a black mark left on the leather & she tried to remove it with a polishing cloth, but the mark remained.
She also shared with me that someone had hung her lock together with the clodette on her birkin & due to some impact tt happened (I cant remember exactly what it was now) - the lock left a deep scratch on the leather.
Point here - she advised me to keep my lock in my bag or at home if I did not plan to use it.
