Master Lock 1534D Locker Lock Set Your Own Word Combination Padlock, 1 Pack, Assorted Colors

So a Comedy of Errors caused me to have to order this random lock and if you need something just like this, it came exactly as appeared. I ordered the green and when I ordered it I was concerned that I was not going to be able to create the exact combinations of words and numbers that I needed because it was a replacement of another lock, but lockily (wink) this item comes with several interchangeable green dials with combinations of words and numbers and you set the lock by picking out exactly what combination of letters and numbers that you would like to have as the passcode and then you follow the instructions to set the lock! It worked as expected and it's very easy to operate and it's also quite easy to change the combination if you want it to be something different but you want to be able to use the same lock. That's kind of the beauty of this particular choice. It's not like you're going to lose the key, you know what I mean? As long as you have the code you can get into it and if for whatever reason you need to change access to something that you want to keep the same lock, all you have to do is very easily change the code. It'll be handy to have for use with a gate or for a seasonal Locker. It feels really safe and secure and it doesn't feel like you could cut through it very easily and the shackle fit well into the hinge lock that I used it for. It's also extremely visible because of the colors on the Tumblers and it's kind of nice that you could select different colors for different applications on the same site. It makes it easy to discern and leave instructions because you can reference the color. It seemed very sturdy and it definitely looks as it appears in the advertisement. Good value.

This lock is too wide to fit a gym locker. It would probably work well as a padlock that has a hinge type lock. Like on a fence. And the letters aren't just big, they are enormous.It's neat that it comes with different bands you can put on to make it spell different words. But it's not going to fit a gym or school locker.

Purchased august '24 from Amazon and the alignment on mine never felt right, had to lube it every several months for smooth operations. The other day it literally fell apart upon opening. Either I got a fake one or quality has gone significantly downhill

I love this lock, its simplicity and ease of use make it my favorite lock by far.Pros:You get to set your own combo in numbers or letters. Mine was fun12 (changed)It is sturdyIt looks goodWorks amazing as my gym lockCons:Is apparently easy to break the letters and set the lock to right spots. (if not in a public place)Overall works great for me, I am happy I have it but would not use it with a plan to hold off a professional thief.

Excelente

Not a spring loaded clasp so the combo must be put in to close as well as open the lock, and you need to spin all the dials after closing to secure it. The dials spin out of place easily when the lock is open so this gets annoying if your in a hurry because your at the gym on your lunch break:) The construction is cheap with plastic dials and design could be better; the end cap on the body of the lock where the clasp goes in is just pushed onto the housing and not held in place at all (would be nice to see a threaded on design). It is held on when the lock is closed by the clasp itself so to be fair it is pretty secure when it is all closed and locked but when you open the clasp it has a tendency to fall off and the dials also fall off at that point. This has happened to me twice when I dropped the lock on the floor at the gym while opening my locker. And if you don't put the dials back on exactly as the same way you just changed the password! And the plastic dials mean that if someone really wanted to they could bust off the dials to see the indicators on the tumblers underneath to open the lock. I only use this for the gym so I think it is adequate but I wouldn't trust this lock on something like a garage door or storage area that would be left unattended for days or weeks. If this lock had metal dials it would be perfect for these uses because the combo is very easy to remember but as it is I would say this is a medium to low security device.

This lock is perfect for kids learning to read. You can create any word up to 5 letters and if you have a 3d printer you can print your own ring dials. (Thingiverse dot com search-> "Master Lock Word Dial")I personally use this when we go to the gym or when we go for a bike ride and just need to lock for an hour or so. I would not put this lock on something completely out of sight and unattended for long periods of time. If someone takes a hammer to the letters then they can open the lock without knowing the combination.

I bought this to replace a padlock on a community locker that holds swim exercise equipment. The lock that was on there had numbers so tiny you needed reading glasses to see them. This lock is:1. Easy to set.2. Pick a word or number combo that is easy for you to REMEMBER!3. The dials are large and easy to move and easy to see!Complaints-1. Instructions could be better. I had trouble figuring out how to disassemble the lock.2. It would be nice if one lock came with extra dials to give you more flexibility in setting your code. I had two locks so I was able to mix and match. I set one to a number combo and the other to an acronym.All and all- highly recommend.
