I have not had these for too long. They are outside exposed to the rain and weather. Easy to set combination. So far,so good.

I beams out in my yard and noticed the two padlocks on my gates. I open them about 4 or 5 times a year and don’t oil the padlock or do any maintenance. They’re just left out in the weather year round and they always work. When I saw them today I realized it had been a long time since I bought them and thought how nice it is that a product actually lasts and I don’t have to think about it ever, much less replace it. So I looked it up and I bought both in August 2018 and here it is almost 7 years later and they still work great and don’t show any signs of wear besides some minor fading.That is what I call a fine product and there aren’t too many out there nowadays since everything became disposable, so I wanted to write this long overdue review since it’s so remarkable to me. Now I will say, they cost $9.49 back in 2018 so the price has doubled, which isn’t great, but that’s the way of things too nowadays so there’s no sense complaining I’m just really happy there are a few solid products still being made out there, and this lock is definitely one of them.

Very easy to change the combination, and opens very easily. I use them in a pair of Rigid boxes, so they fit perfectly and work very well to get my boxes locked. The numbers could be a bit darker so that I can see them in the early mornings, but the color is just fine, as long as I use a light. They feel heavy, so I'm sure they are very durable and will last for quite some time.

Durable and heavy with a premium feel. Unlike many other reviewers I do not use this product outdoors so I cannot provide information on that, but works very well indoors, and have had no issues with the tumblers or resetting the code.

This was very easy to program and changed to my own combination. It’s a little more heavy duty than I expected but that’s a good thing. And it fit through the hole for the lockers at the gym. Can’t go wrong with a Masterlock

Great Lock, combination is easily turned, shackle is thick(not easily cut) and made heavy duty material! Perfect idea that you must have a key to change the combination(even if left open the combination can not be changed unless the key is engaged). Note you must have at least one of the combination numbers moved to a different number than the set combination in order to close the shackle(shackle will not close and lock with combination is in the correct order) also when turned to the correct combination the shackle must be depressed in order to release.*** check the size of the area/hole that the shackle will be place, this one is thick.

Necesitaba un candado confiable para el locker del gimnasio ya que los que uno compra en cualquier ferretería o supermercado a veces son fáciles de romper o abrir, en este caso ya había usado candados de la marca Master por lo que sé que son de calidad, este me gustó porque es de combinación así que no tengo que preocuparme por si pierdo la llave, además de que le puedes personalizar la combinación que tú quieras con una especie de llave que viene incluida, eso sí, es algo pesado y de grosor, pueden ver el tamaño con relación a una moneda de 5 pesos, pero por lo mismo se nota la calidad del metal, definitivamente satisfecho con la compra, y como tiene superficie plana al frente y por detrás le puedes poner algún sticker como lo hice yo para ubicarlo más fácilmente entre los casilleros del gimnasio. Lo compraría de nuevo y además me salió en oferta.

The tumblers are a bit stiff but hopefully they will free up with use. Lock retains moisture which can be shakenout.

I bought this for traveling around Europe and locking my luggage in hostel lockers. For its use it was perfect. The only issues I had were lockers with too small a lock opening for the bolt on this lock to fit through. Other than that the lock is heavy duty and more than enough to at least deter any theft.

This a lock has all features secure, sturdy, good size. I use this to lockdown kayak trailer. The combo dials feel a bit sticky, but after a small drop of lubricant, it’s smooth. I will change all my keyed locks to this combo style. I went to HD to look for this, but it’s not available. Others style locks cost more. The value of this is locks no justification needed. It’s a bargain!

We recently purchased a garden shed and I replaced the anemic keyed lock that came with it with a surface-mount lock that has a user-selectable code. We have a smaller deck box with a padlock on it, but in the interest of being able to open both of these without needing to go back inside to get the key, I bought this lock so I could set its code to the same code for the shed. It arrived with the normal Amazon Prime speed and seemed like a beefy lock. I'll likely take some of the other reviewers' comments to heart and add a drop or two of oil to it every so often since it's relatively exposed to the elements.Why did I knock off a star? Well, the card that's in the package explains how to open the lock and set the code to my desired value. Step one of those instructions? Set the combination to L-O-C-K. Beautiful. Except for one problem: the lock uses digits (0-9), not letters. The lock was on 0001, and that didn't open it, so tried a few combinations like 1111, and 1234, until I tried 0000 and that opened it. It would have been funny to buy a lock that I couldn't open. I guess that's the epitome of security, huh?Once I got the lock open, changing the code with the provided tool was pretty easy.I took it out to the deck box and found that the shackle is larger in diameter than that of the old padlock that I had on there, so I spent some time reaming out the shackle hole. While that may have decreased the overall strength of the system, I didn't want to continue hunting for a smaller-diameter padlock with a user-selectable code and, realistically, if someone wants what's inside, it's a plastic deck box and they could find another way in by bypassing the lock.
