i got 3 of them, and i ordered 4 more. i took them apart and found out what is wrong with them, ( problume # 1 ) the sticking dial is fixed buy puting a small amount of novus fine scratch remouver between the larg flat washer and the inside housing and working it till it is smooth, be sure to rinse it good with lots of warm water. ( problume # 2 ) paint chips contaminating the meckanizim, as the shackle is mouved in and out it breaks off internal paint chips, i used 320 grit wet or dry and various drill bits to simulate shackle mouvement, ( problume # 3 ) shaft grease, i took all the plastick parts and washed them good inside and out with erra detergent cleaning the mettle shafts too, infact i washed everything with a toothbrush and plenty of detergent, the hole darn lock, inside and out, after drying every thing i reasembled it, and WOW, i absolutly love this lock, i put epoxy resign in the main scrue hole to alert me if anneyone tries to open the lock. i believe thease locks are failing because over time the shaft grease hardens and the paint chips build up on the inside, not to mention that outside dirt gets in to the lock and ads to the debree problune. i love taking thease locks apart, its like puting a model together and after all the work i have an incredible lock, it cant be picked or shimed WOW. and if it does fail to open i can drill out the epoxy and do it again, i dont reckomend outdore use... UPDATE. i got the outher 4 locks, but the screws are glued in, so i will just use them without taking them apart. thay may last years without messing up. if one messes up i will just break it apart with a pair of vise grips and replace it with a new one, comboed the same..

Man so pleased with this licki bought one for my son and one for my dad, definitely worth the money.

This is a fantastic lock-- easily the most secure lock I've ever had. Once you reset the code to a personal one (oh yes, assuming you can get it open during your lifetime-- maybe your great-great-great grandchildren will have better luck with a rusted one... it will NEVER OPEN AGAIN!!! Your possessions will be safe forever, and future archaeologists will be grateful to find the time capsule with your personal belongings that you so carefully prepared!!!Not only that, but if you, like me, thought you had made an error in programming the personal code and bought a second lock just to be sure, you've doubled the revenue of Master Lock Corporation! It's a brilliant business building idea by brilliant marketers who clearly want to keep their customers' minds limber by offering such a challenging, entertaining and SECURE product. Plus the purple is awesome-- both locks I received are purple, ideal for my 11 year old boy's locker at school.To top it off, it costs $6.95 to return it so I'm really inclined to fight that battle. Oh wait-- I used my Amex Gold Card to buy it. Maybe their buyer protection will take care of it. Or maybe the Amex CEO knows the Master Lock CEO-- maybe they sit on each others' boards-- so he can get me a refund.I've heard that some people leave their car doors unlocked because that way they don't risk having their windows broken by thieves. My son's friend must have gotten the Special Limited Edition series some others have mentioned because my son says all you have to do is pull it twice and it opens. I'm feeling really left out now since nobody told me about that option. Oh well.It's really too bad-- I thought Master Lock was in the business of providing locks that work. Definitely not the case with this one.DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT ONLY TO FIND IT DOESN'T WORK.EPIC FAIL. Thanks Master Lock. :)

I've had several of these in service for at least five years in a medium-light duty application: gate locks on several gates on a ranch. They they have been as reliable as any other lock I've used for this application, with the added advantage of requiring no keys, no glasses and no light to open. I soak 'em in soapy water at the end of dusty summer, rinse well, dry and then squirt some Teflon lubricant inside and with this treatment these locks have proven more resistant to icing than the conventional keyed locks. If they do ice up, a few moments in a warm hand does the trick. I just bought two more for two new gates and after seeing the negative reviews decided to share my own positive experience. These are not heavy duty locks, they won't stop a determined intruder, but they strike the perfect balance of security, convenience and reliability for me. Follow the instructions carefully and maybe you'll have as good of luck with these locks as I have.A final note, another reviewer stated all the locks come from the factory with the same combination. This has not been the case with the locks I have purchased. So if you buy in bulk pay close attention to the documentation with each lock so you can open it and reset the combo.
