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.

Really shoddy

Would Not Recommend

This lock doesn't offer users the option to change the combination. This is preposterous enough; but, beyond that, the coil is so tight it's difficult to stretch from the bike to the parking rack. In 65 years of riding bicycles, I've never seen a more useless chain.

Doesn't include instructions on how to set new com

Would Not Recommend

I've been trying to find online instructions. Done going in circles, I'm ready to return these. I ordered 2 & both have the same generic combination, otherwise I'd just leave an assigned code. The option to access the manual takes you to warranty info (see pic)

This lock has one factory set combination. It does not have the feature of changing the combination like our other locks have.

Great product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Master Lock 4ft. Cable Combination Lock for my bike and I like not having to carry keys when biking. This way I can lock up when I venture into a coffee shop or down a walking trail to a Vista.

Keeping bikes safer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the chain lock I prefer when out riding and make a pit stop to eat or shop. It wraps around my seat perfectly tucked out of the way and easily secures my bike to a post or bike rack to keep thieves away. It can be cut open by well prepared thieves but I'm pretty sure those thieves are looking for bikes more expensive than mine. This gets the job done perfectly.

Nice lock

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lock is easy to use and very convenient. It's only 4 foot long so not very long for whatever your using it for. Super durable and strength wise I'd give it 10 stars. I just wish you could customize the combo to the numbers that you prefer instead.

Heavy Duty

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The master lock has a heavy duty vinyl coating around the braided steel. It is kinda hard to unravel the coil but other than that fantastic lock. I have long nails and still able turn the combination with the nice raised notches.

Great use!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This combination wire lock is so useful for so many different uses. While you see this as a bicycle lock, it can be used all over the house, around luggage. So easy to open and close, does not get stuck like other locks. The color also matches well with everything, definitely recommend

Keep those items safe

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for something to string through my eye loop on my kayak. This has been perfect for that reason. I like knowing my kayak is locked up when running into a store. It can be used on so many different things. Simple and easy to use. A must have for all people.

Many Uses!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally got this to chain the forks of my motorcycle after the fork lock was damaged in an attempted theft. However my dog has figured out how to open the gate latch on my chain link fence and I decided it was better out to use for now. I love that I don’t need to hunt for a key to open the gate, I can come and go at will with minimum fuss. The cable is long enough that I can double wrap it for added strength, my dog is large and very stro...

Works great!!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Master Lock - 4ft (1.2m) Long x 5/16in (8mm) Diameter Preset Combination Cable Lock is very easy to use and the combo makes it convenient so that there is no key to lose. The 4 foot length allows for enough reach to whatever you are trying to attach your bike to. The raised number one makes it easy to lock the lock by finding them and aligning them into one line. Overall, easy to use and highly recommended.

Master Lock

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a fan of Master Lock and I've been impressed by the quality and construction of the Master Lock combination cable lock. I use the lock to safely park my bike along the trail and it's so simple because no key is required.

Quality

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the combination code is fixed by the manufacturer and cannot be changed and that they give you a metal tag for your keychain with the combination. I always forget my combinations and this makes it so much easier for me. The 4 foot Master Lock is perfect for securing my 2 bikes together when we travel. Great quality!!

Strong and flexible

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cable lock is flexible enough to thread through the rims of my trailer to secure it. The lock is about the same size as the cable so threading into holes is easy and the coating protects the cable from the elements and the finish of what ever you are locking up from scratches.
