Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 1520D Resettable Combination Padlock, Gray/Black
Customer Review: Has its Drawbacks
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this lock for the gym, after freaking out thinking I lost the key to my lock. No key to lose here.
The lock isn't small, and for some reason, the '0's and '3's stick out about 1/4". It seems like it is quite secure, and although I don't want a suitcase lock, I don't need Fort Knox either.
But the big drawback is: You can't just close it from any position. It will only close with the combination set. So you can't hand it to anyone and ask them to lock it (unless you want them to know the combination). Besides it creates twice the work to use it. You have to set the combination to open it, and again to close it.
With a little time, since the tumblers (?) aren't perfectly machined, it can be picked without a lot of trouble. Remember in school when you could pick half the locks by just putting slight pressure on the shackle and spinning the dial till you hit a loose spot?
But like I said I don't need Fort Knox. I just wish it could be locked without having the combination set.
Also the dials are made from plastic, so you could easily just break one off with a screwdriver and have the lock opened in less than a minute. So don't buy it for any location where it will sit unattended too long. If I was willing to waste the $7 I paid, I could prove my theory that not only could you get it open quickly, but you could do it with someone standing right behind you and they wouldn't even know you were breaking into the lock.
At least I no longer have to worry about lost keys though.
