Ratings & Reviews for Master Lock (4 Ft.) Preset 48-in Combination Cable Lock

works like a champ

works for the unique needs and easy enough. I wish you could change the lock code though. It seems to be pre-set with a code and that does not appear to be changeable. But, serves the purpose

Coiled like a spring

This cable lock is coiled and behaves just like a coiled spring. Stretch it out and it snaps back to it's coiled original shape. But this NOT helpful when you want need to guide this thru and around an object that you wish to secure.

Cable lock

This was a cheap way to lock my spare tire under my Ford truck. The plastic coated cable works well and is rust proof. Would have liked a programable combination but the lock come with a small tag with combination that goes on my key ring. Worth the price.

Lightweight, stays coiled for compact storage.

Good price for a name brand cable lock, stores easily on bike because it stays coiled, offers reasonable security for when you park your bike at your destination. Four digit preset combination keeps you from having to carry an extra key.

Easy to break

Bought this to secure my bicycle, my apartment's security camera caught a young teenager yanking on this hard enough to break the lock and steal my bike. Don't be cheap, it's worth it to spend more for a quality lock.

GOOD PRODUCT, BUT BEWARE

Purchased this to secure our HOA pool gate during the off season. Since multiple people need to access, went with a combo lock rather than a key. The product is strong, combo lock mechanism works very well, and serves our purpose. However, please BE AWARE, that due to packaging ,the cable has a tremendous "memory", and will simply not relax & pull straight. Again, for locking a gate, not a big issues, but for other uses, please be aware. Thanks! BigBill

Not for everyday use

Flexible, stays in original package condition. But alignment of numbers not always easy to disconect or re connect

Sometimes it would be better to pay more...

Cheap price point. Cheaply made. Can't set your own code. It is hard to maneuver the dials. The cable has a permanent memory of being in a coil. It is hard to stretch out and feed through a rack.

Hard to use

Hard to open and close, used on a gate while I was renovating my rental home. Even the workers coming in and out complained about ease of use.

I would like to see a product exactly like thisbut perhaps only 10" long as I am hooking two cupboard handles together and you must wind this product through many times to lock it?

Prime example of frustration...

I bought this combo padlock for a customer. The design is good and the concept of using 4 digits as opposed to a key you could loose was good. I have other customers who like this design. The problem was you have to have the numbers aligned at just so precise a line that it is difficult to keep this line when you are moving other numbers and the line turns into an angle. Then it won't open. It is too much frustration trying several times to get it right so it will open. The engineer should have ...

48 in combination padlock

This product is wonderful to add more security to gates, expensive yard equipment,, such as lawnmowers, generators. bicycles, kennels, catteries, and to even keep people out of freezers or refrigerators that might be outside on the porch or in the garage. Also I have used them for anchoring snow tires/wheels, tool boxes ,etc. in the back of trailers and pickup trucks so that we do not have to worry about someone snagging our stuff while we have taken a pit stop at a restaurant, gas station or st...

Need a PWC Lock

Our lakes are low, so we decided to put our PWC in our sailboat slip. The keel to our sailboat is too deep to get out of the marina, but not problem for our Sea Doos. I decided we need a way to secure them to the slip. These padlocks did the trick. I did hunt through the ones in the store until I found two with combinations that had desirable similarities. The combination tags are now on our key chain and our Sea Doos are locked to the slip. The only issue is I have to like down on the dock to r...

Very well made, easy to use, and priced right!

I've had a couple of these up holding ladders for a few seasons. They haven't even started to look aged. Sometimes its hard to push the digits into place if you have bigger fingers but just slow it down a bit. I now use them for several things. One of them is a bike and they are good for that too. A good feature is they come with a little metal dog tag style plate with the code on it. This way you can put those around a key ring and put them in a safe location. They're built durably. I assume a ...

think about it about before u buy

I BOUGHT THIS LOCK TO SECURE A GATE THAT I HAVE AT MY HOUSE. THE COMBO NUMBER CAN NOT BE CHANGED. IT COMES WITH A TAG THAT HAS THE NUMBER TO UNLOCK IT. THE CABLE IS ALSO LONGER THEN I WANTED.
