I had this on a garage door I didn't open very much. I used my birth year, figured I wouldn't forget that. I hadn't opened the lock for several years, but it was exposed to weather.
Today I opened the lock, but it did not open at the original combination. Luckily It popped open while I was spinning the last two wheels to get to the correct combination and I was able to remove the lock. Now it will not open at either the correct combination or the one that did open it.
I'll be taking a Dremel to it to see what went wrong and have a SesameSesamee Keyless Padlocks Sesame Brass/Steel Shackle Padlock on order. -- Loses combination
I bought four of these locks for an enclosed trailer.
I like the lock because you can set your own combintion,one easy for me to remember.
The chance of someone getting on this with a set of bolt cutters is almost impossible as far as I can see.Being shrouded is a must for me. -- Master Lock
I like not having to carry around yet another key. A small tool is included so you can change the combo anytime. Don't loose the tool! Better lock it up somewhere. Ha, Ha. -- well made & weather resistant
Count me in as another user that couldn't open this lock after it had been outside for a little more than 1 year (bought it on Oct 2008). Yes, I wrote down the combination and it worked several times before. It was used to secure my circuit breaker box which is on the outside wall of my garage (go figure why the builder don't put it inside!) I only opened it when I had to reset a circuit breaker that was tripped and last time I successfully opened the combo using my written combination is when I had to turn off the breaker to replace my kitchen ceiling light fixtures. I was surprised when I cannot open the lock the other day (to reset a breaker) using the same combination that I have always been using. Needlessly to say I am not happy with the thought of additional expense and inconvenience of hiring a locksmith to open this malfunction lock...
Then I had an idea to look online for help and found out how easy it is to pick this lock if you happen to have the right tools (paper clip or a thin piece of metal). I first tried the paper clip method for about 15 minutes and gave up. Then I found a video clip using a thin piece of metal and bingo! The lock opened right up after trying for about 10 minutes... I have never picked a lock before and definitely won't try to pick one that is not mine, and you shouldn't too. This is way too easy even for an amateur like me! I can't believe it! What's the point hardened steel and all these security feature to prevent cutting, prying when all you need to open this lock is a paper clip or a thin piece of metal? This lock's internal mechanism is the same as the Master Lock Model #175 and it looked like this simple lock picking method has already been discovered since 2006. I can't think of any good reason why Master can't come up with a new design that can resist this type of picking in 3 years! I definitely won't be buying another Master Lock again! -- written down Combination doesn't work, plus this lock is easy to defeat
This is a pretty big lock that might be good for anything else except as a gym lock. I had hard time closing and opening it in a gym. After several attempts, I finally got it to close. If you're looking for a gym lock, you might not want this item. -- Hard to use at gym
