Heavy Duty Outdoor Combination Padlock – Weatherproof Resettable 4-Digit Padlock for Gates, Sheds & Fences – Hardened Steel Shackle, Keyless Combo Lock (1 Pack)

Kingsley Combination Padlock - Set Your Own Combination Things have been picking up legs and walking off on my property lately. Someone broke into a locked shed of mine and easily manipulated it open. I had lots of valuable tools and equipment stolen just after my late husband passed away. So, I have been trying to be proactive to protect what I have left. I actually purchased more than one padlock in addition to this one. I placed them on various places on the property. One of the locks to lock my riding lawnmower to a post. I put one lock on my pool gate, and one on one of my two shops or sheds that I have on the outside of the door in addition to the regular door locks. I reserved this heavy lock for the main storage building that does have some valuables still in it. I may not stop a theft, but I'm going to try my best. Hopefully the new locks will at least deter would be thieves. The lock is heavy and well made and since the shackle is heavy, I feel better just knowing it is there. This is how I set up my new lock. The original number is 0-0-0, to set your own combination.1. Push in shackle and then pull up the shackle. You can only set the lock if it is open. 2. Insert the tool (small key ) in the side of the lock and Rotate the key/tool 90 degrees in either direction, the key/tool will stay in place. I could tell when I had it in the right spot, because when I pushed the tool/key it would stay in. If the tool is not all the way in, it wont set. 3. Push the shackle of the lock inside the lock chamber, and then. Set your own combination by turning dials to the convex line. 4. Turn the key/tool and then lock the lock to set the combination. shackle. Then the setting is completed. I did this and it worked the very first time. The picture is of me setting up the lock with the key in the side and then I set the combination, locked and unlocked the lock without issue. After reading these instructions, the directions indicated to remember your code and write it down in a safe place. I set a code easy for me to remember but hard for others to guess. I had no difficulty setting the lock or with it's functioning. The spindle was easy for me to manipulate, moving smoothly and locking securely. I like the size and feel of the lock and it is heavy and well made. I also like the brass dials, and that you have to have a key to change the code. I noticed in some of the other reviews that some of the customers had issues with the lock after several weeks of usage. So far, I've had my lock and been using it for about two weeks with no issues. Thus my five star rating. I will continue to use the lock and update my review if I have any issues with it in the future. So far it works great.

Well worth the price!! We have a couple of them and love them!!! Easy to use!!

Amended from one star, and I'm laughing at myself so hard. I too couldn't reset the combination. It's was if the default (0000) wasn't actually the default on the lock that I received. Without opening the lock, there is no way to reset the combination. But then wait, 0000 WAS the default... You do not pull up on the lock to open it, you have to push *down*. ::facepalm

Great lock. You have to depress it in order to open it which just gives you an extra feature of security. Price point is spot on for a lock that you can change the combination code, but you need a key to do so. That means no one can change the combination code without the key. All other locks I have seen, anyone with a similar lock who knows your combination code can change the combination code on their own, but not with this lock. It is easy to open the lock with the combination code entered. It is a heavy duty lock, not light weight. It does have a thick handle so it doesn't fit just any latch, but it can fit any chain. High quality. Works every time thus far. It is easy to set your own combination code. I did it on the first try.

Product as described and feels better made than expected as it has a little heft to it, resetting the combination is simple as following instructions. I purchased 2 for use in an outdoor environment and will update in the future if any issues develop with weathering. The only improvement I can suggest is make the numbers bigger or brighter as it is hard to read in low light situations. It is now September 2018 and both locks are doing well. I did need to lubricate the one directly exposed to weather but both still work fine. I am updating as I am ordering another one for our clubs storage locker.

I bought two of these back in November to replace brass Master locks of similar design, which I had lost. I based my purchase on customer reviews. Bad move. Kingsley sent me an e-mail asking my opinion, which I couldn't provide at the time, as they were for future use. Well, it's now the future, and I'm in Breckenridge, CO. I used the locks to secure a cargo bag on the rear carrier of my RV using cables. One opened with no problem, but the other seem to be frozen inside. It was difficult to get the numbers to move individually. I finally used a heat gun to warm the lock, but to no avail. Finally a maintenance man at the resort cut the shackle using a small bolt cutter. He took it to the trash for me. I don't know what I'm going to do with the other. Probably trash it, too. I never had a problem traveling in any weather with the brass Master Locks. I will be ordering 2 after I finish this review. They seemed better made anyway.

Nice looking lock. Our problem is after a few months on the gate, in the rain and weather, none of them we have bought seem to hold up. Corrosion sets in and the lock becomes hard to turn dials and to use. We've tried Master, Sesame, a couple of others, and basically we can expect only a year or less before we need to replace. I have squirted WD 40, and that seems to help, but that itself is inconvenient. Let's see how this one holds up. But it will be several months, unless it breaks quicker, before I know if our rating of 5 was deserved. I promise to come if allowed by Amazon and update this.

Very heavy and sturdy lock! Easy to program your personal combination and seems to be able to withstand rain exceptionally well. I received this lock two days before Hurraine Matthew brought an abundant amount of rain to Florida. The dials still turns with the greatest of ease. Only time will tell if it will endure but so far I am extremely happy with this purchase. I was about to purchase a similar lock for $22 until I found this one and man am I happy I chose Kingsley!
