Customer Reviews

An extra letter, but lacking in flexibility
I previously owned a Master-Lock version of this "spelling lock" that offered four-letter combinations, so I bought this five-letter lock assuming two things: that the letter-dials could be removed and rearranged to suit my preference, and that all the letters of the alphabet were represented at least once.

I was mistaken.

Here, in order, are the letters available to the user on each dial from left to right:

Dial 1:
A, L, S, W, B, P, F, M, D, T
Dial 2:
A, P, O, R, I, L, C, E, T, N
Dial 3:
A, N, U, T, O, S, E, R, I, L
Dial 4:
A, O, S, K, N, R, T, E, L, D
Dial 5:
E, R, L, S, N, T, H, Y, D, BLANK

You must spell your word on the fixed dials without rearranging them, and you will have to choose a word that does not end in a vowel, as so many common words and names do. You may also notice that the letters G, J, Q, V, X, and Z are missing entirely, so if your preferred code-word contains one of these, you will be out of luck.

With the Master-Lock version, not only can you rearrange the dials for more variety, but you can also switch out the dials from different Master-Locks to spell a unique word that would not otherwise be possible, such as X-RAY or L33T.

I have no complaints about the WordLock's security--the whole lock has a heavy, sturdy feel to it, and the method of resetting the code-word via a dial on the side is as easy if not easier than the Master-Lock's method of snapping off the right side of the casing. But you will most likely have to resort to your third or fourth choice, as I have, before you find a word that will work with limited selection of letters.

Real Words, Works Great!
I bought this lock for my kid -- he loves this lock
with its real words and he can change the combination
easily any time.

My neighbor's kid had a Masterlock. His dad and I
tried to program it -- you have to pull it apart --
you end up with a bunch of wheels and then you
have to re-assemble it carefully like a jeweler
or a . . . locksmith? And then you end
up with something unmemorable, like a "L35K".

Both locks seem sturdy, both made of hardened steel,
so for us it came down to how easy it was to choose
your own real words with Wordlock.

Why did we have to wait until the 21st century to
get this? Where's my jet car?

Great idea for locks
This is such a great idea that I can't believe it hasn't happened before. It is SO much easier to remember a word than a number (whose birthday?). And the colors are not only cute, but help distinguish the locks. The letters seem to accommodate just about whatever word you want. I have one on my shed and one on my fence and a little one for my luggage. Now I see there is one for my bike. They will be great for the kids' bikes, since kids can remember words more easily than numbers, too!

Also good quality and no trouble setting the password - works just like a number lock. A great idea and so obvious, I wonder why I didn't think of it!
