What Customers Are Saying

The cable lock is generally considered a functional and secure option for locking up bicycles and other items. The cable is described as strong and durable, and the combination lock mechanism is convenient. However, some users have reported difficulty aligning the combination numbers correctly to open the lock, and the inability to change the preset combination is seen as a drawback by some. Additionally, the 4-foot cable length may be too short for certain applications.

Sometimes it would be better to pay more...

Would Not Recommend

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

Would Not Recommend

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...

Would Not Recommend

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

Would Recommend

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

Would Recommend

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!

Would Recommend

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

Would Not Recommend

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.

Inexpensive cable lock.

Would Recommend

I bought this to secure a gate on a chain link fence because it was cheaper than a padlock and length of chain. I wish it had the ability to change the combination but for the price I'm OK with it.

Bike Lock

Would Recommend

This lock is good for general purposes; it is only 4' long so it is a little short for securing some items. Another downfall is that you can't change the combination on the lock....but for the price, it is very reasonable, easy to use, strong enough for normal use, and works easily.
