Review on πŸ”’ Master Lock 643D: Secure Your Possessions with Customizable Combination Padlock, 1 Pack by Robert Viher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's easy to reset your own combo (too easy - see review). Works well and looks good.

I like the look and feel of the lock. You reset the combination by unlocking the lock and turning the deadbolt sideways where it can slide into the lock body, setting the new combination, and then lifting the deadbolt to its normal height. The problem is that there is no way to disable/prohibit firing the firing pin in the combo reset area when the lock is unlocked during normal use. As a result, after unlocking and re-locking the lock, I found that the combo had changed because it was slipping into the reset area and colliding. I want to block the drop combo from the unlocked position so it can't be accidentally reprogrammed. I have a feeling I'll nag it one day.

Pros
