FortLocks 2 Pack Heavy Duty Waterproof Combination Lock - 4 Digit Resettable Black

Returning it, but don't let that keep you from buying it. Because the problem I'm reporting is probably one in a million and I'm picky. The spring tension on some of the wheels isn't strong enough to hold the wheel in place and the combination can be easily bumped. But this lock follows the master lock 178 design and no they're not using ball bearings here, but it's working the same. When you attempt to pick this lock, you will be up against a huge challenge, because you're relying on an internal spring to apply a slight pressure on the combed shaft to allow Passage through the gates. Pulling the shackle only tightens the grip on the blocking bar, so it can't be picked, at least not conventionally. Only when the correct combination is dialed will the blocking bar be permitted to drop, allowing the ball bearings freedom to move. Furthermore, the fact that the shackle is short, notch locked and held deep in the body of the lock, means that the lock is much more resistant to Brute Force attacks such as twisting via a pipe wrench or pliers. The lock is resistant to shim attacks between the wheels of the dials as well, and prying the plastic cover off to have better access to the wheels, does you no good at all. Is it tough Under Fire? YES IT IS! Because the wheels are made of plastic, and burning or melting them only guarantees you'll never be able to open the lock, and underneath the plastic wheels is brass. In closing, for a cheap retro or chinese made replica, it's worth the money definitely, so five stars. It's very good and I really like the change code slide switch on the bottom, mine even come with a protective screw down cover plate to prevent accidental change of combination. It's a nice feature, but it's really not necessary because the change code switch takes some effort to snap it over to the change code position, but if you never plan to change the code once you set it, the protective cover plate is nice. Now that you've read my review, I will promptly return my lock as defective, while telling you to buy it, because you likely won't regret it. Special note, I'm hearing reports of RUST, so it MAY NOT BE GOOD FOR OUTDOOR USE!

Nice lock, once the combination is set you can lock it in. I have other locks where the combination was inadvertently changed which rendered it useless and then had to be cut off. Very nice strong design.

Good luck for the gym. Easy to program to your own code. Definitely would recommend.

This is actually a decent lock. The dial has a nice feel, not loose, and not too hard to turn, each number has a nice click to it. The lock itself feels weighty and solid, and opens and closes easily. I have not found it necessary to change the combination on it yet, but it appears to be fairly straightforward. The entire lock is probably at the largest you'd want to go for a school locker as far as fitting into the latch, but it does fit. I would probably buy this lock again if I needed just an affordable combination lock that doesn't feel cheap and hollow.

Love it. I can see the orange bright anywhere, and I don't have to worry about losing a key. It is solid, and it deters crime!

These locks are great and they open fast. They are very durable as well.

I am very happy with my lock as it is just a peace of mind accessory for me at the gym for me to secure my bag (keys, wallet) etc. helps me find my locker easily bc it is a good size. the weight is heafty. The dials are easy to use. would buy again if i lost this, I doubt the longivity will be an issue.

Good quality, easy to use and good enough for high school gym.

Feels sturdy, simple to setup, and I haven't lost the combinations.. yet.

Ottima invenzione!! Pratico non avere da preoccuparsi della chiave. Il lucchetto è robusto e dà sicurezza; è piuttosto grande, io lo utilizzo negli spogliatoi della palestra ed è perfetto. Deve avere un bell’anello per adattarsi

Pour le moment, le cadenas fonctionne très bien, la boucle est assez large pour être utilisé à pas mal d’endroits. Les molettes sont fluides et l’ensemble me parfait plutôt solide. Si un problème de durabilité se présente, je reviendrai mettre le commentaire à jour.

Great lock seems well made. Numbers easy to read. Used for my gym locker.

It’s feels solid and easy to use
