Customer Reviews

Beware in Winter
An Excellent indoor lock. The changeable combination is nice for those like me with a poor short-term memory. I can use my favorite numeric combination.

Still, I live in Alaska, and the weather is not the best. I guess there are just too many moving parts inside, but any time I tried using it outside, it kept freezing up. Makes it hard to get back in the house! Regular keyed padlocks have not yet let me down.

Again, a great lock, if you can keep it from freezing.

Combination mechanism isn't very accurate
The lock seems sturdy enough, but the combination recognition isn't very accurate. For example, if I set my combination to 2-4-8-4, the lock will also accept 2-3-8-3 and 2-4-8-3. Regardless, I'm sure it would discourage casual petty theft as any person truly determined to get your stuff would probably just use a bolt cutter anyways.

Sturdy lock, but difficult to use
I haven't had the chance to actually use the lock yet, so far I only had time to set the combination of the lock, and tried it out couple of times. The lock seems pretty sturdy, however, the numeric pad is a little difficult to turn, which makes unlocking a little difficult. (which could be a good thing I guess) Also, even at the right combination, I have to have both hand on the lock, push and pull the lock really hard for couple of times before I can actually open the lock. Can't imagine what I'll do if it's actually on a locker and I can't get both hand on the lock, but perhaps a little WD40 will help?? Again, this could be a feature that makes lock more secure by making it harder to unlock I guess...
