2.0 out of 5 stars Directions are incorrect
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019
Had it not been for other reviews, I would have not been able to open thelock for the first time. On my set of directions, it says to move the combination to L-O-C-K. Well, there are only numbers on the dials, no letters. I thought maybe they meant the equivalent letters to numbers like on and old phone. Nope. Didn’t work either. No indication or clues what L-O-C-K meant on the combination. Before trashing it, I checked the reviews. Someone had posted that the release combo is 0-0-0-0. It worked. I don’t understand why the directions don’t say that. Instead it is the incorrect combination. Relieved for the other reviews.Now that the silly thing is open, I have to say that the combination wheels are really difficult to turn. They have to be pushed in and forced or they won’t turn. Not so great for someone with arthritis. I was excited about the look of this lock, especially since it had a combo rather than a key, which I worried I’d lose, and since the combo faced down for more weather resistance. Alas, I’m not impressed with the difficulty of turning the combo wheel and the erroneous directions.

Great product, strong and secure, easy to set your own code

This lock is tough well made and sturdy. It has a solid feel to it. Setting your own combination is exceptionally easy. But the dials are small numbers are hard to see and it’s cumbersome to dial in the unlock code. Still worth buying.

If you want it to relock, you must scramble the numbers first. When you want it to unlock, you must push in on the lock before it will open.
Scrolling numbers aren’t always easy to move.

I use around the property so I don’t have to worry about keys

Weigh an equivalent competitive lock. Not even close to the weight of this one. Master Lock is the best.

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage - not made for outdoor use
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 4, 2018
I've had it on our bike shed for just over a month. In that month we've only had about 1 week of rain and temperatures have been between 5 - 18 degrees Celsius. The numeric dials have corroded so badly that we almost were not able to open it. It looks like it's 200 years old.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware.. mine didn't work right out of the package.. can't return it, can't get a refund
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 25, 2019
Received my brand-new Master Lock on Thursday the 20th
via Amazon's usual quick delivery
Opened the package on Saturday night and followed the directions to change the combination...
No amount of cajoling or tweaking would get the tiny key to turn so the tumblers could be changed...
No matter right...?
Like anything made in mas quantities, I got a bad one... get a replacement... right?
It's brand-new...
Nope... sorry Dude... no return policy comes up as the sole option on Amazon's return window
So, I'm out $21 and I'm sorry
about that
This review is to hopefully save you from the same waste of money...

Poor product, stopped working inside 3 months, not of saleable quality
5.0 out of 5 stars My fourth time buying this item
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 1, 2021
I've got quite a few of these around my property - on deck boxes, sheds, etc. The oldest is two years old and still functions no problem without any visible signs of wear. It is slightly stiffer but that's to be expected having survived a few Canadian winters completely exposed. I once bought an alternative "weatherproof" lock that rusted in a few months... Went right back to this one. Slightly more expensive than competitors but worth it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Buen candado.
Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on March 20, 2021
Resistente y de buenos acabados. Fácil de programar con la llave además de que las instrucciones vienen impresas en su empaque. Ojo, la llave no sirve para abrir el candado, si olvidas la contraseña tendrás que romperlo.
Algo que puede ser un inconveniente es el grosor del arco ya que son casi 7 mm, algo a tener en cuenta.
