Master Lock ProSeries Brass Padlock, Set Your Own Combination Lock, Commercial Grade Locks with Code for Tools, Fences, Gates, 2-1/4 inches Wide, 1177D

Potential intruders will cry when they see this. It is designed with extended collar protection that rises almost to the height of the shackle. Making it impossible to approach with a bolt cutter. It is heavy. It is solid. I got the combination version. I'm prone to losing keys. It may take a moment to get the shackle to latch. Just took some practice. I didn't know what I was doing ( never seen one before) and it took 10 minutes from instructions to full deployment.

very sturdy. Great quality!

Have been using this as my gym lock (overkill, I know - but as I got my laptop stolen, I'm done screwing around) - it fits with very little clearance left in the lock hole (about the width of a human hair), so its a perfect fit. You cannot move it around or yank on it very easily. It is incredibly heavy and rather intimidating looking. The brass armor shroud around it is incredibly sturdy and does a good job of making life difficult for anyone with a bolt cutter. The boron alloy shackle is also much higher quality than the standard locks you find on the shelves, with a very true metallic feel. The combination are definitely on the stiffer side - they will not easily glide like tiny padlocks. In 3 months, I have not experienced the "sticking" issue, but the tumblers definitely prefer to be turned one way, which is not really a big deal for me.It is important to note that the lock only opens one way, and the dials will get easier to move with use, but they are STIFF. Personally, I like it as it reinforces the whole tough look of the lock. The rubber bumper, which I presume is to keep the lock from scratching whatever it is rubbing against, is flimsy and I lost it on the third use. Again, not a big deal.No padlock is going to be a foolproof solution in the world of sledgehammers, shotguns, and bolt cutters - but this intimidating looking lock definitely fits the bill to help persuade a would-be thief to perhaps move onto an easier target - (or at least convince them that bringing giant bolt cutters to a gym is too risky).

I go through about 2 of these a year to lock up my gates on my business. Love that you can easily set your own combination. Love that it's next to impossible for bad guys to get a bolt cutter to the shackle. These are outdoors in the weather in Oregon. They seem to seize up after about a year of every day use. Kind of expensive for that. But still worth the extra security.

Strong, secure and heavy duty. I loved it. It was just as I expected, wanted and needed for fence gate. Ease of opening, look, size and lock functionality.

Very strong, well built lock. Great price. Operates perfectly. Small issue, the black cover falls off - not a big deal.

Bought this expecting the same quality I've experienced from other Master padlocks. This one jammed up in less than a month and won't close. Don't believe the promise of being able to operate with gloves--the dials are difficult to flip without. Also, not sure how the large dials help with operation in "complete darkness" as they don't glow in the dark, I guess that depends on your definition of complete darkness.The rubber band doesn't stay where it's supposed to and is merely decorative. The rubber dust flap at the bottom comes off easily and is a poor design. Otherwise, it's heavy and durable but in this case will actually work against you when you're trying to break in to your own place because this piece of crap jammed up.Unfortunately I missed Amazon's 30 return window by 3 days so I'll try to send it back to the manufacturer.

Security rust resistant works great
