178D Set Your Own Combination Lock, Black, 1 Pack

This is a light and smallish look, with the shackle about 1-inch (thumb-tip to thumb-knuckle) across. A determined thief will kill it with a bolt cutter without too many problems, but as a casual deterrent it'll do a great job. The combination mechanism is in the bottom of the lock, with a small plastic "skirt" around it that will direct water away from the mechanism unless you install the lock the wrong way up! It's also quite neat in that it will only re-lock after you have scrambled the access code. If you try to close the lock with your desired combination still set, it'll refuse to lock. You can't click it closed but inadvertently leave it openable just with a pull. Setting or altering the combination involves a separate side key that is used to override the security mechanism - provided you have entered your existing code first. You will need to keep this side-key safe somewhere. Value for money, yes! We have other Master locks and they work well even after years in the elements. It's a bit bulky compared to a key lock, but seems solid enough.

I bought this a few months ago for my locking up my shed. I wanted a coded lock to avoid having another key. The lock is very sturdy and secure and absolutely no rust so far. Very happy with my purchase

This is a nice, easy to use, sturdy combination lock however it should only be used as a visual deterrent. Unfortunately the lock is not shielded and a small shim or knife can be pushed past the dials to bypass the locking mechanism in less time than it takes to enter the combination.

Poor product, stopped working inside 3 months, not of saleable quality
