The reset lever on my lock requires very deliberate manipulation (and a fair amount of force over the entire arc of motion) to get it into the reset position. And there appears to be no way to remove that sheet and then replace it.Īnd I’m really surprised with the comment about the reset lever moving when the lock was dropped. The sheet covered the reset lever, and made it obvious that the lock had not been messed with. Glide the knob through your combo… don’t let it snap to center!īy the way, for those who wonder if their lock has been tampered with: my lock came with a plastic caution sheet affixed to the back. The lock is extremely reliable if you allow your thumb to ‘ride’ the knob from position to position, instead of lifting your thumb after each movement. – Allowing the combo knob to ‘snap’ back to center, instead of easing it from position to position. This also clears the combo if you screw it up and need a re-do.
– Forgetting to reset it (either before opening or during resetting the combo): You have to push the shackle into the body to reset.
Some internet searches I did as part of my research before I bought the lock revealed a couple of operator-related issues that can make it difficult to open the lock: I have one of these that works perfectly… absolutely no problems despite playing around with it quite a bit. I really like the fact that I can set my own personal combination instead of remembering one that has no meaning for me. Master Lock is the world’s largest manufacturer of padlocks, and these new locks are affordable, sturdy and easy to use. It’s not THAT big of a deal, but I did notice that I had to wrestle with it just a little bit. I think it’s due to the shape of the lock body and the fact that the shackle loop is shorter. The only thing I noticed is that the Speed Dial lock is a bit harder to get the shackle in and out of the lock handle. I tried both locks on some lockers at my day job and as you can see from the images above, they worked as expected. Easy, but don’t lose the key if you want to change it again in the future.īoth the Speed Dial and the rotary lock feature anti-shim locking technology, which is supposed to make them more secure than traditional combination locks. You have to open the lock and then stick the key into the shackle opening and turn it. A special key is required to customize the combination.
A combination is made up of three digits or letters or a mixture of letters / numbers.
