Beware in Winter - Mark Chucta, Feb 25, 2008

An Excellent indoor lock. The changeable combination is nice for those like me with a poor short-term memory. I can use my favorite numeric combination.

Still, I live in Alaska, and the weather is not the best. I guess there are just too many moving parts inside, but any time I tried using it outside, it kept freezing up. Makes it hard to get back in the house! Regular keyed padlocks have not yet let me down.

Again, a great lock, if you can keep it from freezing.

Sturdy lock, but difficult to use - Steve, Oct 24, 2007

I haven't had the chance to actually use the lock yet, so far I only had time to set the combination of the lock, and tried it out couple of times. The lock seems pretty sturdy, however, the numeric pad is a little difficult to turn, which makes unlocking a little difficult. (which could be a good thing I guess) Also, even at the right combination, I have to have both hand on the lock, push and pull the lock really hard for couple of times before I can actually open the lock. Can't imagine what I'll do if it's actually on a locker and I can't get both hand on the lock, but perhaps a little WD40 will help?? Again, this could be a feature that makes lock more secure by making it harder to unlock I guess...

Hefty & sturdy - quest, Jul 03, 2006

One of the best things about it is that it stands out among all the silver lockers in the locker room. The worst thing is how easily the paint came off (but a another coat and a sealer can take care of that).
