Review on πŸ”’ Master Lock 653D Set Your Own Combination Locker Padlock - 1 Pack, Assorted Colors by Sean Xayamonty

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well (but probably not for high security items)

I bought a couple of these to use (one replacing another I lost) and have been happy with all of them. As others have pointed out, they're not very secure: the shackle is a bit flimsy, the lock itself isn't that big (so it can be picked), and there's also a flaw that allows a knowledgeable thief to figure out the combination of one at a time number by touch. That's why I'm making a star. However, I've been using mine both indoors and out for several years and they've held up well, which is why they get points for durability. Use them where you want to deter accidental theft as they won't fool a hardened thief, but many locks of this size can still be picked, so it all depends on what you think the risk is. . I've used this on an internal storage door in a secure facility (I would rate it as low risk) where the use of a lock was still required, but I've also used it on my bike's cable lock (although I've used it in other cases as well). would do use a padlock).padlock for extra security). Setting up your own combination is simple and easy to remember, but be aware of the other downsides of a lock this size.

Pros
  • Great price
