Master Lock Cable Lock, Set Your Own Combination Retractable Bike Lock, 2 ft. Long, Assorted Colors, 4603D

For our Sunday School and Summer Camp, we wanted a combination lock that allows access to the fridge and snack cupboards to a several selected individuals. A lock with keys would not have worked since we wished to provide access to several individuals. We wanted to keep the kids and hungry adults out. I searched far and wide and even went to our area locksmith. An extensive search finally got me here.It was easy to set up. The only drawback I have about the product is that it is almost symmetrical with the combinations placed on the top. Individuals can lock it with the backside on the front, thus rendering an asymmetrical combination worthless. Thus, we are using this with a symmetrical combination code e.g., the first and the third digits are the same.I ordered two of these and got both of the same color. I wish the Amazon warehouse picker would have used his heart and given us the two with different colors.For our need, this should work out great. I will be buying more of these.

Small and works well. The only pain in the arse was setting my own combination number. As the photo I've included of the instructions show, it's the incorrect way to set. Thankfully they had a video on this Amazon ad of the correct way. Crazy that their printed instructions are wrong. See both my photo and video for the difference.

Good light weight low security cable option for traveling on the go.

Bought this to lock up a media cabinet from my toddlers and within a couple days the plastic coating that coated the wire cable had stripped off. That said, it still works and does the job I bought it for. If you are buying this to lock up valuables it might not be the best option. It works well in an airport or train station to detere thefts but there are stronger locks available for true theft protection. This lock's cable is very thin but did the job I needed it to.

I give this product the highest rating. I ride motorcycle. I use the lock for two specific purposes. It excels in both.When I am away from my bike, I like to keep my saddlebags secure. Since there is no official locking device, I simply put the cable through the loops and my bags are secure.When I get off my bike, I hang my riding jacket on the windshield. Any opportunity thief (scum) could come along and swipe it. I use my cable lock through the sleeve, and around the handlebar. Problem solved.Since the product is made by Master lock, I have full confidence that when I return to my motorcycle, my belongs will still be there.I love this product, have ordered it in the past, and will order it in the future. I talk about this lock so highly, that I have sold at least 10 to other people just from my endorsement.Get it. You won't be disappointed.

Pros: It's cute and tiny, and Master Lock brand; which is why I gave it a chance in the first place.Cons: Anyone with more than twenty brain cells will walk off with your stuff.Note: This is NOT a pack of four, even though the description makes it look like it might be.Review: Let's be clear, I'm fully aware that anyone with a $20 bolt cutter can defeat even the best of cable locks. We all know that if someone has their mind set on taking your stuff, they're gonna do it.Cable locks are just a deterent. They tell the would-be crook or bored teenager, "If you want THIS bike, you're gonna have to fuss with it for awhile, and someone might see you." Most ne're-do-wells will just move on.But this lock gives up the goods with no fuss at all! Even in the fully locked position, you can just jerk the cable right out. One firm jerk. DONE. You could do it while standing in a crowd of nosey good samaritans, and I doubt anyone would notice. Someone hunched over the lock (like the real owner might do while unlocking his stuff) could do it in 2 seconds, with no tools, in virtual silence.I really was hoping for something more from Master Lock, but this is just a worthless piece of junk plastic. The sad thing is, with a slight re-design, this could actually become quite a handy little device. But as is, the only people you'll be protected from are those honest enough not to touch your stuff in the first place.

This lock has worked great, very easy to use for being so small and compact. Setting my own combination was easy also. Im actually returning a NRS lock and getting another one of these. The nrs broke on the first lock, and it was bulky. I AM definitively buying another one and would recommend this to everyone I know.Pros: Small, colorful, easy to use, can carry it around and not even notice it. Robust cable with good length.Cons: None so far
