Questions & Answers
Three of the same keys can be found in this.
Every Master Lock padlock comes with two keys as standard.
It is preferable to purchase a set of locks if you require multiple locks. The key is the same for all of them in a set.
The key number isn't stamped on the key at all. If you need it, I'd recommend printing a small label.

I bought this as a hinged lock for a garage side door that would work in conjunction with a locking entry knob. The lock is lightweight and simple to operate, but it is not particularly strong. That is acceptable to me for this purpose. Given the ease with which a door can be kicked in or pried open with a pry bar, such locks are only effective in deterring otherwise honest people from becoming thieves. If someone is trying to break into your garage or other locked item, even the best padlock in the world won't keep them out. Even with this lock, the screw in the wood is the weak spot when it comes to what I'm securing, which is screws into wood or metal lined wood. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> After about 2 months of using this lock outside in the winter (10-degrees F), It's clear that this lock doesn't like it at 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite being coated inside and out with silicone spray, the lock is often difficult to open, which I believe is due to the cold weather rather than simply being outside. The key portion of the lock works fine, but the shackle gets stuck in the latching mechanism and is unable to rotate after it has been opened. I've never had this problem with all-steel locks, so it's either the lock's design or the aluminum body.
If you use it indoors, it's probably fine, but it didn't hold up outside for me after a few months. It has a very thin/light feel to it, with buttery keys. Over the course of a few months, I broke two keys in the lock while attempting to open it. It's possible that it can't stand being outside in the cold. But, hey, it's made of metal, and it's amazing how brief its usefulness was. Now is the time to cut it and replace it with a proper lock.
It's just a simple key lock that costs next to nothing. I use it as a gym locker and find it to be very useful. It won't keep a master lockpicker out, but I don't think I need to be concerned about that while I'm at the gym.
This item was purchased to secure a gate on the side of my house that was missing. The gate's latch necessitated a more complex locking system than a standard padlock. This product satisfies that need while also securing the gate to my specifications. After a few weeks on the gate in Arizona's scorching heat and monsoon weather, the lock is well made and freely moves. I am pleased with my purchase and believe that it represents good value for money.
"It's very light weight and not good for outside," as some other reviews have stated. If you need to secure a heavy door or require a heavy lock, this isn't the best option. It's ideal for a lock box, an inside locker, or even a light storage unit that doesn't contain anything too valuable. It's just a light weight lock with a long neck that can be broken with a light hammer or rock. As long as you don't expect it to withstand the elements, it's a good lock for my purposes.
Any forceful or manipulated entry will not be significantly deterred by this padlock, as should be obvious. A few bypasses, such as shimming and comb picking, can be used to get around it. Any forced entry tool, such as a hammer, could be used to break it. Because it only has four standard pins, any method of picking the core, even by a novice, will work quickly. br>br>It is suitable for low-value or low-importance security. It's perfectly reasonable for those kinds of applications where you'd want a small padlock with a decent sized shackle to put it to a variety of uses, such as locking a food chuck box to keep racoons out while camping, or locking a portapotty outhouse on a job site. Because it fits most hasps, it can be used in a variety of locations. Although it is weather resistant and does not seize up easily, there are better options for long-term outdoor use. It's also inexpensive and easy to discard.
This is a good lock for items you don't want to be too concerned about. It's thin and flimsy, and anyone with a decent toolbox could pick it open. br>br>However, it's still a fantastic buy, and I'm glad I went ahead and made the purchase. At work, I use it as a cheap toolbox to keep people from picking up my cheap hand tools. I would never use this on a gate, particularly one that is exposed to the elements. This is the lock for you if you need a good luggage lock, toolbox lock, or just something to deter thieves.
