BRINKS – Heavy Duty Combination Padlock – 80mm Chrome Plated Lock with Hardened Steel Shackle – Resettable Security Lock for Storage Lockers, Toolboxes, Outdoor & Indoor Sheds, and More

I use this lock at the gym -- I picked it because the reviews said it was heavy duty and easy to use. It is definitely heavy duty, but it tends to get stuck when I'm unlocking it. I can't unlock it with one hand, which is a little annoying, so that's why I took a star off. Overall, though, I like it because I feel like it is a visual deterrent for locker thieves, and it is easy enough to use.

I had a little difficulty getting the lock open after following the printed instructions to set my own combination BECAUSE THERE IS A TYPO IN STEP 5 on the back of the package. It says, "To open lock, rotate combination ring COUNTER CLOCKWISE," and refers you to Figure 4. After re-reading all the directions and studying all the line drawings, I finally realized that a larger drawing separate from Figures 1 - 4 showed an arrow pointing CLOCKWISE and the note, "Indicates Direction to Turn to Open." Turning the dial clockwise was a little stiff the first time, but it opened! Now I can say that I love this lock! It is heavy duty and works great on the bolt lock of my shed. The numbers turn more easily after they have been spun a few times, but I keep its face toward the shed door to help keep rain or dust from getting in.

I really like these locks. I already owned one for the storage unit we rent. They are more secure because the design makes it hard for someone to cut. I bought 3 more for the gates on my fence. Unfortunately, the design that works well on the storage unit latch makes it too difficult to get on and off the gate latches. So, I ended up having to return them.

This Brinks lock is well made and appears to be vandal and theft resistant, due to the design that includes a shackle that is difficult to access or cut. My only suggestion to the makers of the lock, located in China, is that they correct the Reset Combination instruction #5, which instructs one to "rotate the combination ring counter clockwise " to open the lock. Sorry fellas, it's the opposite. The ring must be rotated CLOCKWISE to open the lock.....ooops.

Great combination lock. Easy to set up as long as you know how to reset the combination later. Instructions do not tell you. Very hard to open without combination. As with regular locks where they can stick a piece of metal down alongside the shaft and open the lock. Very pleased.

Clearance is pretty low on this one so you need to make sure the chain size is appropriate. It also gets a little sticky on occasion. Overall a good lock Update: less than a year later I have decided this lock is more valuable in the trash can. It can't fit a chain big enough to actually be applicable and excuse the low clearance required for it to be more secure.

See update below: I purchased this to lock my container box built by Shanghai Baoshan Pacific. My main concern was that the shackle opening would accommodate the locking handles on the box. It does, see picture. This lock will resist bolt cutters. The body seems adequate but does not have the ultra tough feel of more expensive locks. I wonder how long it could withstand a beating attack with a large hammer. Update 10/4/2020 In my previous review I wondered how long this lock would last during a hammer attack. I have also wondered about some of the other ways to defeat this lock by holding the shackle, reprogramming while locked etc. First I'll say I was never able to recreate the results listed by other reviewers on the lock I received. Is that due to updated lock design? Don't know. My main reason for updating this review is the brute force attack method of defeating this lock. On 9/8/2020 my property was burned out by a forest fire in California. The lock was still holding the locking bars on the container box, but showed serious sign of heat damage. The thumb wheels were melted out with only slag debris in the tumbler cavity. Wanting into my container box I went to work on. The large hammer method failed to open it. I went to my burned out garden shed and got the rock bar. Jabbed at it dozens of times making very good strikes with the bars pointy end, no luck. Found a leangth of chain with a catch hook. Hooked the chain to the lock and rock bar. Went for the lever pull, zero action. Extended the lever with a 10' stick of unistrut. Just bent the unistrut. Finally flagged down a fire crew. They came down with bolt cutters. They took one look at it and cut off the swivel locking hasp attached to the container box. Huh? Well the lock is still hanging there. Moral of this story is: It does not matter what lock you have if you do not have hardened steel hardware holding it.

I purchased this lock to use on my cleaning businesses storage unit. I needed a lock that was safe, secure and can be opened using a combination. I’m pleased to say this lock is perfect! It cannot be clipped off and it is easy to change the combination. The only difficult part is figuring out how to open it for the first time, you have to spin the piece on the outside of the combination and was hard for one of my employees to figure out at first. This is a simple hurdle to get over, once you open it and understand how the mechanism works it’s very easy! I also use this lock in a higher elevation location where I’d gets extremely cold, sometimes below zero and I’ve never had a problem opening this lock even in those temperatures.

good lock

No es el producto que vi en la foto a la hora de comprar tengan cuidado el que mandan no es ni la misma calidad que el de etiqueta roja

Absolutely great product used for our Storage Unit. A name brand you can rely on and trust. It didn't rust and no key to lose. I love the fact you chose your own combination as well! Would purchase this product again and again. Strong and durable as well which stands to reason it is a BRINKS

It's a nice, heavy duty lock, and the combination works really well. Use it to lock up my ice fishing shack.

Like others said, the number wheels are hard to turn. Beside that, it's fine. Does not look like top quality but it does the job up to now.
