Good locking mechanism

It doesn't get very cold where I live so I can't comment on how it performs in bad weather. But I wanted a lock where the key is easy to insert and turn and the shackle is easy enough to bolt. This fit the bill. At first I was concerned that it wasn't easy to insert the key, but that was because they hadn't polished the keys after cutting them. After a few uses they are now working great. Master has been a big disappointment to me lately. They used to be good but the last ones I bought were very difficult to use and at a top price anyway. I had to find an alternative. That's it. Long live Purma! I hate keys that have a hole in the wrong place. But I have a drill. If the people at Puroma listen to me, I would suggest a slightly larger key that is properly polished after cutting and has a hole in the right place. If you are very serious about protecting something you might need a thicker shackle, but I only use it on gates that are easy for anyone to climb over. key with one hand. I often have something else in hand, which is great. You can't do this if it's hanging from a chain, but it works with the little things on the gate with chains going up and down. If the shackle was thicker, it would work better without the larger body. Puroma Stupid name unless you sell aromatherapy or facial cleansers. Gordon, Gideon, Samson, Gilgamesh, I could think of a hundred better names.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Not bad
