Master Lock140D Padlock, 1 Pack, Brass

I have had experience with this model of Master locks before, having purchased a package of three keyed-alike locks from a home improvement store for use on three hose bib locking devices that required padlocks to function. But just now I needed more locks, because neighborhood disturbances (water theft, vandalism by running water full blast unknown by the homeowner until later) caused me to decide to secure all hose bibs.Anyone who has had water softening installed knows that the original bibs pipe soft water after the work is done, and the installers add a new hose bib branching from the incoming water line next to each old and now soft-water hose bib. My three, therefore, turned into six. The original three I had used on the soft-water bibs were, as it turned out, fairly cheesy and not nearly so secure as I wanted, so I bought six new ones plus a pack of four (no packs of three were offered) of these locks to allow me to lock all six devices onto the bibs. (As it turned out, this pack of four locks from Amazon was cheaper than a pack of three at the nearby home improvement store, so I was not the loser.)These locks are quite good, not the most robust locks available but entirely suitable for the task. Any lock used outdoors should be carefully lubricated periodically with an appropriate product and should be kept out of direct weather insofar as possible, but with care and occasional maintenance, should last a long time.

Most of my rifle cases are the i-series SKB cases and these logs are a perfect fit for the rifle cases. They are bright gold in color so they easily contrast against the black rifle case which makes them easily seen. I live in California where guns have to be unloaded in a locked compartment when transporting. Having the contrasting locks just makes them easier to see by cops if I get pulled over or something. The locks are stout enough not to have to fumble with to open. I dont know about you but I use to use those small little suit case bad locks to lock my cases for travel. The lock and key for those suitcase locks is so small that you have to fumble around with them to get them on and off the case. These locks are big and stout enough where I dont have to do that. They are of course also small enough to fit through the holes on the case that are designated for pad locks.

I use these locks to secure my helmet and jacket onto my motorcycle when I stop on the road. Just enough security to discourage theft without too much weight. Stronger locks are not justified because it is easy for someone with a knife to cut the straps on my rear bag or cut the strap on my helmet. On one trip I left the helmet fastened to my bike in a public parking lot for three days. Helmet was still there. That is all the security I need. Steel might be the strongest. Aluminum is the lightest. I like these brass locks because, as Goldilocks would say, the are just right.

Love that we get multiple locks for a better price than buying individually. However, they do not get 5-stars, as there are only TWO keys for the THREE locks. To me, that brings down the stars, as there should be a key for EACH lock. Otherwise, sturdy, reliable locks.

Things have been picking up legs and walking off on my property lately. So, I have been doing anything proactive I can to protect what I have left. I actually purchased one of these locks to lock my riding lawnmower to a post. I may not stop a theft, but I'm going to try my best. Also one on my pool gate, and one on each on two shops or sheds that I have in addition to the regular door looks. It's nice that several came together in one set. They are not huge heavy locks, but they are fairly nice sized and they worked out perfectly and did exactly what I needed. I really like that the set all have the same key so it's easy to keep up with them, that was nice. The set comes with two keys, and the keys fit all the locks. So I'm not fumbling for a key on each lock and my husband and I both have our own key. The locks move smoothly and engage well. I've had no issues or problems with any of the four locks. Hopefully they will at least deter would be thieves. Great locks reasonably priced. I would recommend.

I like the idea of have 4 locked spaces at work on 2 sides of the plant I can access with one key

It's a well made lock with good tolerances. There are one or two spool pins to make picking a bit harder.

Works good.

I use this lock for the gym and it's very good. Keep the keys and a lanyard and you'll never lose them.

Cadenas à 1 clé identique parfait !

First class, highly recommended, excellent in every way!

Solid Padlock, supplied with 2 keys. Confident that my shed is secure.

Great quality double lock set. Price was so much better than what I found in Home Depot
