5.0 out of 5 stars Wordlock Cycling Security Solution... in Spanish, March 11, 2009

This review is from: Wordlock PL-028-BK 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

The old cable lock for my mountain bike finally gave out, and I shouldn't complain since it's frequently out in the weather. The key mechanism just quit functioning, though it had been lubricated regularly. But I wanted a simpler more modular solution as a replacement, and this Wordlock 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock in black provided just that, with a light level of additional security.

Have bought these Wordlock products before, but this time I bought it here on Amazon with the Master Lock Self Coiling Cable which is a 6-foot (1.8m) woven steel cable that's covered with a medium-gray protective coating to prevent scratching the bike's paint. Since this is for use in low-to-medium theft risk areas, the 5/16" (8mm) thickness seems adequate for the job, and it's self-coiling for easy storage convenience around the bike's seat post.

But this lock is fascinating in that you can set your own combination using words, and not often confusing number combinations. This padlock provides 100,000 combinations, using four-letter and five-letter word combinations using five non-removable dials, and they are easy to set. And what makes this particular combination interesting is that it's in the Spanish language. The word 'candado' is Spanish for padlock, as you'' see in the bilingual instructions.

If you have anyone in your family who has some knowledge of Spanish, at any level, then this may be a perfect lock for them. Not only is it a especially secure padlock, with a hardened steel shackle for strength and security, it has four or five word/letter combinations... in Spanish, adding an interesting additional layer of security to an already robust lock.

The clearly illustrated instruction sheet is well written, and the directions are side to side bilingual in both English and Spanish. A final bilingual precaution notes: "El candado WORDLOCK solo se puede abrir con su combinacion. Para garantizar el maximo de seguridad, no existe una combinacion maestra." This means: "The WORDLOCK padlock can only be opened with your combination. To ensure maximum security there is no master combination." Obviously it's a good idea to write your word down and put it in a safe place, which is also suggested by the instructions.

This clever and innovative product is available in the following variations:

* Wordlock PL-028-BK 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Black

* Wordlock PL-031-SL 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Silver

* Wordlock PL-030-RD 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Red

* Wordlock PL-029-PK 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Pink

If you have no use for the Wordlock in a Spanish language version, then you can also get it in a regular version with its 100,000 word and letter combinations in English as the Wordlock PL-004-BK 5-Dial Padlock, Black, and it's available in other colors.

Wordlock offers a very straightforward limited lifetime guarantee on their products, stating that they warrant that the lock will remain operational during normal use for as long as you own the lock. It does exclude the inability to open your lock as a result of your loss of the combination, so be sure to note it somewhere. For now the simplicity of this unique combination lock and the cable fits my needs.

It's been said many times that the purpose of a lock is to keep honorable people honest, and in that I agree. The fact that it's a resettable word lock instead of one with numbers makes it more convenient, and the Spanish version is a personal layer of language security in an area where the English language dominates.

I have a few of these now, in both languages. Whether you prefer your security in Spanish or in English, these are all excellent products that will withstand a lot of use.

This review is from: Wordlock PL-029-PK 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Pink (Tools & Home Improvement)

I was not impressed. I ordered two wordlocks and one of them would never set to lock. I followed the directions several times and it would never work. Because my daughter needed two with the same combo, I ended up purchasing two more locks from a retail store.

Once in awhile you find a very unusual product that is not only very handy, but quite functional as well. Products like this are surprising in that the idea behind them is so simple that you're left scratching your head and wondering why no one thought of it before. The Wordlock 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock is one such product.

Wordlock is an innovative company that makes a variety of combination locks, and where these are different from others is that you can set your own combination using words, and not often confusing number combinations. This padlock provides 100,000 combinations, using four-letter and five-letter word combinations using five non-removable dials, and they are easy to set.

And what makes this particular combination interesting is that it's in the Spanish language. The word 'candado' is Spanish for padlock. So why is that important here?

* Cree su propia combinacion en español
- Create your combination in Spanish

* Use palabras en español, no numeros
- Use Spanish words not numbers

* Nunca mas olvide su combinacion
- Never forget your combination

* Facil de programar y reprogramar
- Easy to set and re-set

* Acero reforzado: use interiores y exteriores
- Made of reinforced steel for use indoors and outdoors

OK, am having too much fun with this review, but if you have anyone in your family who is studying Spanish, at any level, then this may be a perfect gift for them. My son is currently studying Spanish as part of his school curriculum, and the minute he spotted this new lock, he knew exactly what his combination was going to be. Not only is it a very secure padlock, with a hardened steel shackle for strength and security, it has four or five word/letter combinations... in Spanish, adding an interesting additional layer of security to an already robust lock.

The clearly illustrated instruction sheet is well written, and the directions are side to side bilingual in both English and Spanish. A final bilingual precaution notes: "El candado WORDLOCK solo se puede abrir con su combinacion. Para garantizar el maximo de seguridad, no existe una combinacion maestra." This means: "The WORDLOCK padlock can only be opened with your combination. To ensure maximum security there is no master combination." Obviously it's a good idea to write your word down and put it in a safe place, which is also suggested by the instructions.

This clever and innovative product is available in the following variations:

* Wordlock PL-028-BK 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Black

* Wordlock PL-030-RD 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Red

* Wordlock PL-029-PK 5-Letter Combination Spanish Language Padlock, Pink

If you have no use for the Wordlock in a Spanish language version, then you can also get it in a regular version with its 100,000 word and letter combinations in English as the Wordlock PL-004-BK 5-Dial Padlock, Black, which was my personal choice for bike use. It's also available in red or pink, if you like your padlock security to be more colorful.

Wordlock offers a very straightforward limited lifetime guarantee on their products, stating that they warrant that the lock will remain operational during normal use for as long as you own the lock. It does exclude the inability to open your lock as a result of your loss of the combination, so be sure to note it somewhere. They also have online support by e-mail through their Website.

Whether you prefer your security in Spanish or in English, these are all excellent products that will withstand a lot of use. The Spanish version would make an excellent gift for any student studying the language or for a native speaker. As noted earlier, these will leave you wondering why no one thought of them before. This one's a 5-star choice... cinco estrellas.
