Squire Heavy Duty Padlock (CP40) - Toughest Steel Shackle - 4 Wheel Combination Padlock - Alloy Steel for Corrosion Resistance - Weatherproof Lock for Home, School & Garage (Blue, 40 mm)

Very sturdy and sturdy, doesn't weigh a lot but Still strong, the numbers are easy to read , easy to set up , and you can use it in a lot of different security. The lack performs well , and the numbers are easy to see. This lock is very versatile. And comes at a reasonable price. And of course you've got no key to loose.

Smaller than I anticipated, but that's my fault for not reading the description properly! Well made lock. Bought two, one of which is very pedantic to unlock. Numbers have to be perfectly in line, whilst the other is much more forgiving. All in all, happy with purchase.

Reviews are all mixed up and sometimes just wrong. This is for the 5 digit version. The tumblers are smooth, the shackle is heavy duty, the outer casing is platic which is great for repelling water and avoiding scratches. All round a great piece of kit. Look carefully at the dimensions to be sure it fits your particular needs.

Secure padlock used on oil tank outside, its held up with the weather, after having our oil stolen twice, there is now damage to the padlock but whoever it is hasn't managed to break the lock so very secure oil safe :)Very easy to use and to set code

I bought this lock for a shed and paid a bit more than the cheapest lock to get something fit for purpose. Squire have been in the lock business for decades so should know what they're doing, right?First surprise was that the body appears to be made of plastic, not metal. Seems sturdy enough but this is not mentioned in the description.Second, the dimensions are wrong. The one I received is 70mm in length, not 165mm.Third, the code wheels are fiddly to operate and don't click into position and the lock won't open unless they're exactly right. The button on the bottom jams so it's also difficult to lock it again. It's impossible to use even with the thinnest cycling gloves on.Fourth, after less than 6 months the shackle is corroding.It annoys me every time I use it. I will either have to bite the bullet and throw it away or give it to someone I don't like.

Had this on a shed since mid-April, so only a couple of months so far. In terms of a padlock it's fine, seems secure, hasn't broken and no weather damage yet. Doesn't feel flimsy.However, there is one big negative. You have to be extremely precise with the number dials - seriously, to the point of calculating longitude, latitude and phases of the moon before you turn them. If you haven't done all of this (and potentially rolled up a trouser leg and done a secret handshake), if those little wheels aren't aligned PRECISELY, the button at the bottom won't let you push it in to unlock it.And then you have to go through a similar sort of faff again to lock it back up.Can't recommend, I'm afraid.

Arrived on time

This won't be the most useful of reviews, but I suspect not many are. We only got this for a gym locker so no testing in the rain. Who knows how secure it really is? I had a try following some videos about picking combination locks and it didn't play ball at all (good). But then maybe I'm just useless at picking locks (probability: high :-) ).Since I'm not going to destructively test it, I also don't know how good it is on that score. Truth be told, I avoided the unknown brands on here because I've seen some shockingly bad locks which seem to be being produced with zero real expertise or care. At least Squire has a brand name to protect and some track record of what works and doesn't so I figure they're going to make some effort at least. Compare that to a make you've not heard of and won't be here in six months.It works easily enough with the combination wheels having a nice feel (not too loose, not tight). Setting the combination requires removing a screw so is perhaps a bit more faff than other locks. But since you do this very rarely and it improves security (there's no access to the screw when it's locked), I'd say this is a good trade-off.The lock is encased in plastic so it's not possible to see what it's made of. They claim dual compound wotsit etc - who knows?Bottom line, it's a cheap combination lock but not from the cheapest unknown manufacturer. Provides a simple deterrent to protect low value things. Happy enough for our purposes. Personally I'd get something much better with wall to wall good reviews if trying to protect a shed or whatever.
