Master Lock1174D Padlock

Easy process to set combination, Easy to use (1 hand operation), large and sturdy

We have tried several of the solid brass outdoor combination locks, but they tend to corrode and lock up or break internally when exposed to wet weather. This stainless steel lock has held up and continues to work perfectly.*****Update 1/16/2015***** I just ordered this lock again because they work so well and last, and last in outdoor environments. I see a few reviewers had trouble with jams. The lock can be hard to turn if you have tension on the lock - as in something trying to pull the lock open while it is locked and you are trying to turn the numbers. Simple, relieve the tension folks! Then the numbers turn freely. This is by far, the best outdoor combination lock I've found.

Strong well made lock. Firstly it shipped to me on time in perfect condition. The lock itself is well made strong and works well with one small annoyance. The "weather resistant" rubber flap that covers the dial when not in use on the other hand is a completely useless waste of patience and clearly a poorly thought out designed and implemented piece of junk. To be fair it really doesn't effect the use of the otherwise good lock. The flap is made of rubber and swings over the dial to keep road debris and water off your locks dial, great concept, but the flap has two small rubber bars that extend from each side and fit in two small holes in the licks metal to form a hinge. Problem with it is the rubber is so soft and flimsy that it just falls out when used and the flap pressure fits to hold itself in place and again to soft of rubber and it falls open continuously. I could see this set up being fine on a outdoor shed you rarely use but I use mine on a truck that is used daily and have given up on the flap. The other small annoyance on the lock is that you have to push the hasp into the lock to allow the dial's tumbler to move freely to unlock the lock, small annoyance. Otherwise I'm completely happy with this lock and it is easy to set and durable.

We purchased these nearly five years ago. We needed to secure our gates, but wanted something that our service providers could use to let themselves in. We considered a "digital" (app-based) solution, but they were really expensive, and and I had some concern that they might not be as secure (hacking) and might not hold up as well as an "analog" lock, so we went with this one.While we don't open these every day, we probably do 50 times or so a year, and they work today like they did when we purchased them years ago. There's no rust, and the combination wheels still turn freely.The one negative I have is more a usability thing (and always causes confusion when we bring on a new company) which is lining up the numbers isn't in the middle, as expected. There is a line at the top, but no matter how many times we tell new folks, they don't seem to get it (and I guess don't see the line) and call to say the lock doesn't work.Perhaps this has been fixed since then (it *has* been a while), but I think in terms of negatives, this is probably pretty minor anyway.Hopefully I don't jinx things, but if something happens to the locks that we currently have, I'd purchase these again.

I was looking for a good weatherproof lock. All looks good - except the rubber cover for the codes is super cheap

We bought this lock to put on our Pod when we made a cross country move. It was super easy to set our personalized combination and the lock is very secure. Worth the investment knowing it was tamper proof.

It was just very hard and almost impossible to turn the numbers. You had to heave hard on it to open and close it as well. We tried lubricating it but it didnt help. I regret the purchase.

The lock is solid and sturdy. The flap on the bottom will easily come off. Luckily, it's not a deal breaker. I pulled if off after I got tired of reattaching it. I like that I can set my own code for it.

El candado esta excelente, se ve seguro, no se necesita de alguna herramienta adicional para modificar el NIP.Excelente.

OTTIMO PRODOTTO

I've had this lock for almost a year. It's on a side gate and out in all weathers. I did treat with anti friction dry PFTE lubricant available from Amazon. The lock still works perfectly. I have no problems with the combination barrel spinning correctly.

ステンレスの南京錠として購入しましたが、内部に鉄が使われているのか、赤錆がピンのような部分から滲んで出てきました。外にさらされるので鉄であれば錆びるのは必須。その為に高くてもステンレス製を購入したのに、完全にハズレでした。内部が錆びにさらされているようなので、鍵があかなくなったり、グズグズになって鍵が開いちゃうなんてことは怖いので、早急に新しい鍵に変えようといます。

Very solid lock.I use this for both the gates at the back of my property into the ravine. Has rubber seals around all gaps in the solid metal construction (it's made for marine use). It's easy to change the lock code.Only downside is it's not entirely new-user friendly - the first time my wife tried to use it she couldn't get the lock open because she was trying the code in the center of the bottom of the lock, instead of where the two lines indicate to enter the codeUpdate: 3 years later both locks i bought are still like new with full exposure to the elements year-round. Rubber covers were long ago lost off but haven’t been needed.
