Master Lock 1533TRI Combination Assorted Review

When we received these locks, one did not open. The code to unlock the rest didn't work, neither did any numbers next to it. I didn't want to return the item as we only needed two but didn't appreciate the flight of quality. Or rather, I didn't appreciate my wife's (quite lengthy) tirade about non-working locks when it turned out that the first lock she brought to the gym was broken. I can't blame her for her disappointment. Besides, they work. The code cannot be changed, but I knew that when I

These locks are decent. They all have the same combination, so the code is easy to remember. My partner and I each have one in our gym bags and we have one in our racquetball set. Unfortunately, they feel and act quite cheap. There have been numerous instances where it appeared to be locked when the lock was unlocked, the metal hook rotates but does not push and locks unless you enter a code. It's not in the way, but it's tiring, especially when you're in a hurry or want to get out of the…

Unlike previous Master locks that last forever, the quality of these (now made in China, not Milwaukee) doesn't skimp up to date. They drift over time and also get stuck. I'm getting rid of them to replace with regular master locks. It was nice to have three of the same combo and the colors are cool, but the durability and difficulty opening them over time is too much to worry about. Today I spent 10 minutes trying to open them (and it's not just one of the three locks) but they get stuck…

I was more attracted to the three colors in one pack and didn't pay attention to their size. Now someone correct me if I'm wrong but the dimensions in the description are wrong as they are listed the same for these mini locks and the larger standard lock. You should refer to the size chart which is the bottom picture in the leftmost column. In any case, they should be fine for some uses, but I'm afraid they might be too small compared to a standard sized lock to hang directly on gym lockers as…

What were we thinking? We bought this set of locks not once but twice - just because we thought we had lost the first set during the pandemic when our daughter was out of school. In September of this year she finally had the opportunity to use the castle. What a disaster. She was two hours late because the lock kept jamming and jamming, so I took her to the store after school to buy a regular lock. It's still "Master Castle" but good old simple old black. She loves it and even got lucky with…

Three stars for two reasons. Firstly, entirely my fault, they are all set to the same combo which is clearly stated in the description. However, this renders it unusable for most possible applications. Secondly, and more appropriately, I have to give a couple of stars for quality. They serve their purpose, but are no longer "Master Lock" products. This and the 1500D models are a lot cheaper than five-year-old locks. I bought a few for breakout play (why the same combos stink in my case) and…
