Review on Secure Your Trailer with πŸ”’ the Master Lock 470-605DAT Shackle Coupler Lock by Jake Pavelko

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Really easy to use and economical but not the safest option --- OMG! Please read update

Probably not the most secure lock I could put on my trailer but it allows honest people to stay honest and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's really elegant and easy to use. I just want to prevent unauthorized family members from taking things without asking so this lock works great for me. 605DAT) in about 4 seconds with a small metal nail file without damaging it. He didn't even have to "pick it up" in the traditional sense of tying it off and then finding a few individual pins and pressing them open. He just put the tool in the keyhole, clicked the latch and it popped open instantly! It looked as simple as using a key. Serious. One guy who does this with dozens of locks and posts videos online explained that this is "a huge security flaw that anyone considering using this lock should be aware of". I just downgraded it from 4 to 2 stars and am considering replacing it. The fact that it's cheap and probably not the safest option didn't bother me at first, but even I'd rather not have a lock that's so easy to pick. On the other hand, however, if you ever lose your key, it would be great. LAUGH OUT LOUD!

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
