  • Almost 7 years later still going strong
Number of Items: 1
I beams out in my yard and noticed the two padlocks on my gates. I open them about 4 or 5 times a year and don’t oil the padlock or do any maintenance. They’re just left out in the weather year round and they always work. When I saw them today I realized it had been a long time since I bought them and thought how nice it is that a product actually lasts and I don’t have to think about it ever, much less replace it. So I looked it up and I bought both in August 2018 and here it is almost 7 years later and they still work great and don’t show any signs of wear besides some minor fading. That is what I call a fine product and there aren’t too many out there nowadays since everything became disposable, so I wanted to write this long overdue review since it’s so remarkable to me. Now I will say, they cost $9.49 back in 2018 so the price has doubled, which isn’t great, but that’s the way of things too nowadays so there’s no sense complaining I’m just really happy there are a few solid products still being made out there, and this lock is definitely one of them. ... show more

  • I bought two to replace old versions of the same product
Number of Items: 1
We lock our front and back gates with these locks. They are in the elements, unprotected from sun/rain. The last ones (same model) were in service since 1994(!), and were good reliable easy to use locks. They were 'used' (unlocked/locked) several times a week. I decided to replace them because the numbers on the combination wheels were becomming a bit corroded and difficult to read, they were getting more difficult to turn (not that bad though), and the lock mecahnism wasn't working as well as it used to. Sometimes the lock didn't latch when locking, and you had to bang it on the gate to get it to latch. I tried lubricating the locks with triflow, which helped for a couple weeks, but then became stingy again. I thought that after 19 years, I could afford to buy a couple more. So I've been using the two replacements for a month now, and they're great. The numbers are easier to read, the wheels are easy to turn, and the lock mechanism works perfectly. I assume these will last ~20 years like the last set. By the way, it's a bit counter-intuitive, but to open the lock, set the dials to the combination, then push the shackle *IN* to disengage the lock. Some people set the number, then pull, but that's not it works. ... show more

  • Decent combination lock.

Seems like a good quality padlock. I like the fact that you can set your own combination. No more remembering some abscure random numbers. Time will tell on the durability.

Update: I called Master Lock. They took responsibility and promptly replaced the lock at no expense to me. Upgrading from 1 to 4 stars on faith that this replacement will perform up to Master Lock's usual high standards. Will return to update this review if that proves not to be the case. --- Old review: This lock didn't make it through a single Ohio winter. I needed to get into the shed in January and couldn't get the lock open. Eventually a lot of pushing and pulling worked. Then it wouldn't lock again, even after I brought it inside for a week to warm up. Unreliable. Avoid. ... show more

  • Great for sheds.
Number of Items: 1
This is a review of the Master Lock 178D Set Your Own Combo Padlock. I will do my normal list of specs-cool features and then list a summary as to my thoughts after using. -This is made of die cast metal and has a black finish to help protect it from the outside elements.) -It has a 2” wide die cast case and a 1” shackle. Diameter of the shackle is 5/16”. -Comes with 1 change key. -Operate by using a four digit number combination you set. -Unlike a lot of locks, this is a very well built solid lock designed for outdoor use. -To use, enter the combo and push down the shackle and then pull it up to unlock. Summary – I am using these on my two sheds. The combo is easy to set. You simply unlock the lock – open the shackle, insert the key – turn 90 degrees, set the combo of your choice and then remove the key. I really like this feature as I wanted my two sheds to have the same combo so I do not forget and for simplicity. The movement of the dials has a slight clicking and bump feel as you move the numbers vs. being an easy roll. (Might get smoother with time.) I like this as it is easy to lock your digits in and know they are aligned right. Whatever you do, do not forget the combo. The key is only for changing the code and will not open the lock. I am very happy with this lock and all master locks in general so far. Good make and reliable. Highly recommend. ... show more
