2 out of 5 stars Combination mechanism isn't very accurate   September 14, 2008
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.


5 out of 5 stars sturdy, attractive and effective   June 14, 2008
this lock is perfect for my purpose - gym locker lock. it's heavy/sturdy and the combination dials are easy to view and rotate (at least for my average size fingers - it might be difficult for someone with larger fingers). i love that i can change the combination.


3 out of 5 stars Beware in Winter   February 25, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

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.



3 out of 5 stars Sturdy lock, but difficult to use   October 24, 2007
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

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...


4 out of 5 stars Hefty & sturdy   July 3, 2006

One of the best things about it is that it stands out among all the silver lockers in the locker room. The worst thing is how easily the paint came off (but a another coat and a sealer can take care of that).
