Review on Master Lock 175DLH: Set Your Own Combination Padlock with 2-1/4in. Shackle & Elegant Brass Finish by Ken Pinell

After about the third thunderstorm, one could say that this product is not intended for outdoor use, despite the product description. The numbers were very difficult to rotate and unlock due to the rust that developed. Having only had this lock for a few weeks it is very disappointing. I now expect a higher level of quality from the Master Lock brand. In addition, the position of the numbers at the bottom of the lock makes it difficult to use when the item to be unlocked is below your waist. Picture this: a burly man in *very* skimpy pajamas, bending over and talking on the phone. like a flashlight trying to open a rarely used side gate at one o'clock in the morning and cursing the gods of Revane for sending a lock that was not only rusty when it shouldn't be, but also extremely difficult to read was. The same color as the rest of the lock was a good idea for visibility? This problem is also compounded by the reflectivity of the actual material used in the assembly. And this is where I thought it would be a good idea not to keep track of a key for something that multiple people need to access. Maybe it still is, but Master Lock is definitely not up to the task. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going further down the rabbit hole of smart devices by researching smart locks.
