5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job; no complaints
Great price, quick shipping, love it. We use this lock for our personal storage unit in our apartment's basement. Haven't had an issue with the lock, and we choose it for the key over a combination lock.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sticky locks
I've used disc locks exclusively for the past 5 years or so. I bought two of these because I needed some more. However, the two that I received stick in the open position for some odd reason - both of them. It's as if there is friction against the bar from contracting when I attempt to turn the key. This started from day 1 of use. It's really more annoying than much...

I've used disc locks exclusively for the past 5 years or so. I bought two of these because I needed some more. However, the two that I received stick in the open position for some odd reason - both of them. It's as if there is friction against the bar from contracting when I attempt to turn the key. This started from day 1 of use. It's really more annoying than much else since I have to give the key a few tugs each time I want to close the lock. It's as if it was not machined well. I've never had this problem with any of the other disc locks that I've had. I expected flawless performance based upon the other reviews, but my experience hasn't been so rosy. I would now return them if I hadn't kept them so long.

3.0 out of 5 stars Durable but not perfect, January 31, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Master Lock 40DPF Round Padlock with Shielded Shackle, 2-3/4-Inch, Stainless Steel (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is a good durable lock as it should be, but I have issues getting the shackle into the lock. I have to jiggle the key a little and nudge the shackle to get it to fit. This is a straightforward mechanism so seems unacceptable that this should be an issue. Whatever happened to quality control. Wasn't worth the effort to return.

I just received this lock. For the most part, its studier and heavier than the ordinary combination padlocks I used in the past. The locking shackle and the body of the lock are much tougher and has very little play when locked. However, this is only a preliminary assessment. I will update my review of this product after placing and testing the lock in the field.

This review is from: Master Lock 40DPF Round Padlock with Shielded Shackle, 2-3/4-Inch, Stainless Steel (Tools & Home Improvement)
The lock works really well and is very solid. There are a lot of reviews written that talk about the fact that it is not universally pick-proof etc, and the bottom line is that I doubt there is any lock on the market that is. If you're not uber-paranoid and are comfortable using a lock that will fully deter anyone but the most calculated and professional thief, then this one works fine. And let's face it...even if the lock were pick-proof, the most calculated and professional thief would find another way to break in anyways.

Compared to similar items out there, Master Lock wins hands down. I own a similar style lock also and you can tell the difference right away.
