Turntables begin to move together

I've had many master combination locks that work well. However, this one was perfect from the start. then the spinning disks began to move together for the combination. I have to hold every number I bet or it will move along with the other numbers. For example if the combination is 1856. I have to hold 1 to bet 8, then hold 1 and 8 to bet 5, and finally I have to hold 185 to bet 6. Otherwise they move together. Received the suspension on January 18th.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

save your money Stopped working after 6 months.

At first this castle was very good. I use it in the Lifetime shed where 4 bikes are kept to get out of the garage. Even my 9 year old was able to use the lock. About 4 months later problems with locking the lock started. You have to rotate the numbers for it to block normally, but that didn't help. I tried spraying some WD40 on the lock to remove any possible corrosion but that didn't help at all. The lock tries to lock but it never works and will open again if you touch it. I highly recommend…

  • Absolute Legend

Amazon does not accept returns on this

So this product seems to be hit or miss and carries a kind of curse of no return; The instructions say to flip four toggle switches to the "LOCK" position to unlock them initially, but the toggle switches have numbers 0-9, not letters (thanks, "Made in China"). Glasses are difficult to rotate. They appear to buckle and rotate with little difficulty due to their small size, deep seat in the pelvis, and actual resistance to rotation. Anyway, stupid instructions make it impossible for me to feel…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Security

Lifeguards at shady Planet Fitness.

For several weeks, local thugs at the gym picked all the locks on the locker room lockers to steal the contents. One day I found out that my lock was broken but all my stuff was still in it. They must have been afraid someone entered the dressing room, thank goodness! I also had an iPad in my locker that day so I was very happy to buy a heavy duty padlock. After looking at many different locks, I realized that access with a key is not the best option. I needed a heavy duty lock that would allow

Pros
  • Durable surface
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

Nice outdoor lock

I have this lock for our scuba shed where we hang our scuba gear after rinsing it in fresh water. I "on site tested" the lock during two weeks of daily dives. The castle has been exposed to salt water and tropical winter rains. So far the castle has been great. When you first get the lock, you need to set the combination with a thin metal key. It took me a few tries to do it successfully. The key started to bend and I was afraid it would break open in the lock. However, I was able to reset the…

Scrap - and also irretrievable scrap.

I bought three of these. The first two - and so glad I bought a third. I'm sorry I didn't wait. The first two became difficult to unlock even with the right pin. Third? Arrived could not be unlocked with the default PIN. Master's phone number was waiting for a long time, so I couldn't reach anyone. So I went to Revane to return. Sounds right - a new defective item, return to seller? WRONG - You cannot return this product. I've looked at the product page several times and found no reference to…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • crumpled packaging

Excellent and easy lock. Picked up army BCT and was perfect. Has to struggle with sub-zero temperatures. For military things. this is a lock. However, if you have ten seconds to get to your gear, I find this to be the best type of lock. No searching for a key hidden somewhere with you (which everyone seems to lose), no turning the chamber combination lock. Thanks to this combination lock, I have quick access to my gear. In the cold I used one of these to latch the outside barn door. After not…

Pros
  • Set your own four-digit combination lock for quick dialing; Combination changing tool included
Cons
  • unreliable

Wrong direction

Without other reviews I could not have picked the lock the first time. My instructions say to move the combination to LOCK. Well, the dials only have numbers, no letters. I thought they were referring to the corresponding letters for numbers on an old phone, for example. nope It didn't work either. No clues or hints as to what the LOCK means in the combination. I checked the reviews before throwing it away. Someone wrote that the release combination is 0-0-0-0. It worked. I don't understand why

Pros
  • Indoor/outdoor padlock Best to use as a school locker lock, gym lock and gate lock, provides protection and security from theft
Cons
  • has been damaged

Good choice. Easy setting. Versatile and upgradeable.

Easy installation. Just a few things to keep in mind: 1) Only use the key when it is unlocked and open, with DIALED-IN combination active. 2) When the combo is ready, open it by first clenching your jaws and it will open instantly - don't try to open it, it just stays locked. 3) Turn the combination while it's open, leave it hanging open on gates/doors without revealing your code (don't leave your code dialed after it's open) 4) It only locks if your code is NOT is chosen - a. So. First turn…

Pros
  • Lock body 2" wide (51mm); 5/16" (8mm) shackle, 1" (25mm) long and 1" (25mm) wide
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
