Faulty hardware locks

I've used these speed dial locks before and they're great when they actually work! I don't know what's up with Master Lock's quality control, but I've ordered two now and both were defective. It is not possible to open the locks with the original combination indicated on the packaging. Yes, I have followed all the instructions and online videos. I've read all the comments with tips and tricks on how to make combos work. I even took both locks to my uni along with instructions and over 40 people

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Great for one-handed work

I saw one of these in the quest room. We set up a fundraising quest room for our youth camp, and that's the way it should be! Now, as for the functionality of the lock itself, I like that it's one-handed. Can't comment on weather resistance for an outdoor lock as we haven't used it for that, but for indoor use it's perfect. I'm sure since this is the main lock it can be used outside, just use WD-40 to service it. By the way, in case you didn't know, the "WD" in WD-40 stands for "waterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Stock availability

Beware! You can lock something up forever!

As you can see from the video this lock does not always work and this is the second one I have bought - the second one was the same. I bought this directional lock to use on a switch box for my students. I've used these types of locks many times, so I'm familiar with them. It comes with a set code, but you can reset it. As you can see in the video I reset it to the code I needed but it only opens sometimes (in the video I believe it opened 2 out of 5 attempts). Only one specific item I received

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Convenient but crappy

I needed a set of locks that I could open quickly in the dark. I didn't want to worry about finding the key or seeing the combination wheel. This lock seemed to fit the bill, but it has its pros and cons. This lock is good because: 1. You can open it just by touch without having to look at it. I can open it in 2 seconds.2. You can program your own up-down-left-right combination code to match more than one lock with the same code. This lock sucks because: 1. It's VERY thin and light. I don'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Useless features

I don't know what to say about bad reviews. How can you hold the manufacturer liable if it is not suitable for your specific application? I bought one of these at a hardware store for double the price from here and was so excited I went to Revain to buy two more. If you read the instructions, the locks work fine - even after changing the default. I don't like that you have to cut the tape to access the shifter. I have to seal it with tape as my locks are used on the street. Combination locksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Other Other

It has excellent features and capabilities, but this product really needs improvement as numerous complaints indicate. It just doesn't have to be so tricky and problematic while being frustrating for countless customers. A friend had one, thanks to which I got acquainted with the castle and got used to it. Loved the features (and the red color); So I ordered one. The Master Lock I received turned out to be hopelessly problematic and a waste of money as for some reason even if faulty they areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Combination locks
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
