ABUS 160/50 All Weather Chrome 4-Dial Resettable Combination Padlock

Got this to replace my Master outdoor lock for my patio gate. This is much better with larger number and the dials move free without jams. What I like best about this design is the dials are by the side of the lock instead of bottom like many other locks. With the dials by the side there is no need to turn the lock upside down, making it easier to dial in on the numbers, especially when you need readers like me.

I needed a lock for the gym and wanted something that wasn't easy to break or easy to "pick". Lots of the more common combination locks have numerous exploits that are easily learned from watching videos online. I wanted something that wasn't necessarily overkill but that also didn't scream "this one is easy to open!". This lock seems to be it! The four digit combination is nice as it presents a potential thief with 10,000 possible combinations instead of the 1000 that the cheaper three digit locks provide. Even if somebody wanted to sit there and try every possible combination and they could average two seconds per try it would still take up to almost six hours to find the right one (if they have to go through most of the combinations... figure 3 hours if they only have to go through half). A three digit lock only takes about a half hour to go through all the combinations under the same conditions. The lock is a nice heavy metal construction (208 grams on my scale) and has a nice shine to it. You'll be able to easily spot your locker! Changing the combination is super easy too. Once the lock is open just use a coin to twist the dial on the right side all the way to the right, set your new combination, then spin the dial back. Done! If you're looking for a decent gym lock or a decent lock for some other purpose then I highly recommend this one!

Works well looks great and good quality use on my gym locker

2nd time buying.. awesome lock.. lasted 5 yrs the first one that i bought

My use for this was for a storage locker that I never seemed to have the key for when I wanted it. You see I don't carry every key for every last thing I own when I just want to go out in the car. Then I just want the building key and the car key, nothing else. However, car trips tend to generate things that need to go into my storage locker, and of course, I might be out when my other half wants to go in there. All of this in mind, a good, thick combination lock was a decent choice. After some research, this was the most suitable Abus lock for this purpose. Four digits was important to me, as opposed to the somewhat more common three digits. I matched the lock to the strength of the locker, in other words, the lock is a bit (but not much) stronger than the cage bars you can see in one of the photos. In a lot of contexts, you're basically trying to ensure your lock matches what you are locking. Here I'm satisfied that's suitable for a my storage locker (which itself is behind a locked door). Unlocking is as simple as putting in the correct combination and gently pulling, re-locking is pushing the lock closed and spinning the combination dials to a random setting. This lock should resist cutting to a reasonable extent, but I'm under no illusion that it's entirely impregnable (no lock is, and for that matter, almost no container is). However, I'm very satisfied that this lock will do what it claims to do, and gets 5 stars as a result.
