Review on Black Safety Padlock for πŸ”’ Lockout Tagout – Master Lock 410BLK by Reynaldo Guzman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Paradox Lock is the best basic mechanism, but not a security device.

As other reviewers have described, this is a very unusual and paradoxical lock - it has one of the most secure internal master locks in a plastic case that can be hacked. The core has six safety pins, five of which are coils and one is notched. It also has double anti-shim steel ball bearing stop bars. If this core was in a sturdy metal case, these could be the best Master Locks. However, this lock is only used for security identification, so it can be broken open with normal pliers if necessary. Note certain security features - if you rotate the core more than 180 degrees, the pins will fall into the lock body, making re-locking impossible. It is also a key lock, meaning the key cannot be removed until the lock is locked again.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Some bugs
