Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No keys to lose or carry
  • Highly durable solid body construction
  • Resettable combination for security updates
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
  • Superior cut resistance via hardened steel

Cons

  • Risk of being locked out if the combination is forgotten
  • Requires manual tool to change the code

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set your own combination, insert the included combination change tool into the hole on the bottom or side of the lock, rotate it as instructed, and set your new sequence. Always test your new combination while the shackle is open before closing the lock to ensure it works correctly. This lock is compatible with most standard locker hasps and gate eyelets. To maintain performance, occasionally wipe the lock body with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt or debris. If the lock is used in harsh, freezing conditions, consider applying a silicone-based lubricant to the internal mechanism to prevent sticking.
