MASTER LOCK Heavy Duty Combination Padlock, Security Level 8/10, Combination, Outdoor, Stainless Steel, Weatherproof

These are the best value padlocks I have found. They're so solid, I bought them for the garden sheds to replace the key ones since multiple people in the house use them.Being able to set the combination is a handy feature, I could set them to something all the users can remember. I think you would need a grinder or something to hack off that lock because the design is too secure for an opportunist. It's only been in use for a few months now and there is no sign of rust or weathering, I'll update the review if that changes, but so far it's weatherproof.

Seems very solid, it’s easy to use, very straightforward instructions, size is good, look good, I do believe that would be weatherproof, the time would show, it’s locking the garage door at the moment, does the job!

Great sturdy padlock that is very durable to the outside elements, but one major flaw: If you're using it alone, it's fine. But if multiple people need access, be warned—since the numbers are visible on both sides, it's easy to lock it back-to-front. This makes it very hard for the next person to enter the correct code (see pictures - same 4-digit code).

AVOID - THESE LOCKS ARE A NIGHTMAREI bought two of these locks for a metallic bike shed and I had issues with them from the very beginning.LOCK 1 - The locks come with a preset code and even though I tried and tried and tried to unlock the lock from its packaging, the code provided did not seem to work. I tried the code time and time again and it just would not open. It got to the point that I had no option but to contact the seller explaining the issue. 3-4 days later, I have not heard back from them. In the end, and after many attempts over several hours of trying I was able to open the lock using the code provided, but it remains very temperamental, opening some times and not others. I am being extremely precise in entering the code so this is very much NOT a user error. That’s one lock.LOCK 2 - I had no issues initially opening the lock and removing it from the package. Worked first time. I changed the code to my own code which was pretty straight forward - although you do need to use a QR code to get the instructions. The lock worked fine with the new code so I tried it on the shed and WHAT A NIGHTMARE. Locked the shed. All good. Tried opening it and the code would not open. Again tried time and time again and kept having the same issue as with the first lock. It just would not open even though I was using the correct code. It got to the point where I was really concerned that I had just locked myself out of my bike shed forever. I must have tried 20-30 times, using the code, failing to be able to open it. Eventually, it opened. Using exactly the same code/approach I had previously used countless of times.OUTCOME: I now have 2 locks that I have managed to open, BUT TOO SCARED TO USE THEM, because I cannot be sure that I will be able to open them when I need to. I have the same issue with both locks, so it looks like it is a design issue. I am also very disappointed that the vendor never responded to my issue.

The MASTER LOCK Heavy Duty Circular Combination Padlock is solid and secure! It’s made of durable materials that provide excellent protection. The combination is easy to set and works smoothly every time. Great for securing lockers, gates, or outdoor storage. Highly recommend for its reliability and sturdy build!

Not as heavy duty as they make out, the button on top of the sliding catch broke off after three weeks of use!

Very good.

Sturdy and elegant looks strong 💪
