over the past 3 years have purchased two of these combo locks. these locks are primarly used for locking big metal fenced gateways on our property. provide contractors with the combo and they can access the property when we arent home (then change it after work is done). decided to get a 3rd combo lock and the set-up code combo provided didnt work. was told to return the combo lock but it just didnt seem worth the time. so decided to just figure out what the setup code was. wife & son thought i was crazy but after several weeks of off and on attempts the setup code was 9191 which leads me to believe this lock was returned and resold without zeroing out the previous code.other than that the combo locks work well despite getting constantly rained on. keep the little revolving door closed and occasionally wd40 them and they have worked effectively in all weather conditions. what i like about this combo lock is, it is easy to change or reset the code to something else which is done from time to time. would highly recommend and will repurchase again when needed. giving it 5 stars because the product works with no problem. dont think it was necessary to downgrade my rating because the setup code wasnt correct. no problem with seller and it arrived as promised. just dont forget you new code after setup.

The biggest selling point for me on this was it being a combo lock -- hard to pick, hard to forget a key. The combination is user-(re)settable, so just use something memorable -- e.g., the last four of your SS number, or PIN, or phone number, etc. -- and you're good to go. You can, as one reviewer mentioned, loan it out easily. Or somebody can pick your bike up for you if need be. The advantages to a key-less lock are myriad, and overall I am quite pleased.Kryptonite ranks this lock's Security Rating as an 8 on a 1-12 scale. That...seems about right. Don't leave it overnight in a high-crime area it as the only thing between your fancy-pants $3k carbon fiber road bike and an aspiring acquisitionist,but as a decidedly reliable, that-ain't-goin'-anywhere lock, it's long enough to secure your frame and front tire(!) to something solid, and it strikes me as strong enough to deter a would-be thief into finding easier prey (and, let's be honest: that's really what this is about).Aside from the underwhelming mounting instructions, the one rather small downside is that when locked, the U still has enough play to wiggle and rattle a small bit whilst riding -- nothing huge, but not airtight like I'd expected from Kryptonite. Oh well: I'm still glad I got it and would indeed recommend it.

This is so great. Like...SO great! I have left my poor bike out in the rain, ice, snow, etc., and this thing still works like a charm! It has developed a teensy bit of rust from my neglect, but now that I keep it mostly out of horrible weather, it hasn't gotten worse, and the dials are still working perfectly. I have literally not complaints and suggest every forgetful person to make sure they buy this before they lose their key like I did and not know how to get your bike back. lol! It also takes way less time to lock to anything since you can ride around with the combination unlocked, and it won't open unless you push the button. It is just....GREAT!!

wow. a combination bike lock is SO much easier for this ADHD woman who loses keys sometimes on a daily basis.....i used this lock from the actual moment it was delivered...i was on my way out to do errands on my bike, the package arrived and because i didn't have my reading glasses, i squinted and saw that the factory unlock setting was "0005" and merely left it at that. i know that this probably isn't the best idea, but hey, i have already lost the instructions telling me how so.....it is what it is! but i like the confidence i have now knowing that no matter what, i can get on my bike and book!

a U lock without a key is a great idea. In the summer I commute by bike to work. The lock is so reasonably priced by Amazon that I can permanently leave the lock at the bike rack in front of my work. This allows two things: 1.It allows me to not have to carry the lock in my bag. 2. It also allows me to not have to dig thru my bag looking for a lock key hidden in the folds of my work cloths. Maybe these steps sound like little annoyances but if you enjoy trying to find ways to make your urban commute more efficient and simple this might be a good place to start. Thanks Amazon and Kryptonite.

The lock works, but the mechanism is rough. The dials are hard to turn and it requires a bit of force to move the latch release. I think it is just a symptom of low quality manufacturing. I use it for communting, and yes I have lubed it up, but it has not helped much. Nice to not have to carry a key.Update. I have used it regularly for months now. The mechanism is much easier to use. It has really eased up. The dials turn easily and the latch is smooth. It must not be well finished at the developing world machine shop. I moved it up to 4 stars. Would buy it again.

Easy to set the combo, but easy to lose the little tool that you use to set it, so set it with something you won't forget, because you'll probably never be able to change it again!I use mine to lock my bike to the trunk rack, partially for security, partially the hold the bike to the rack.Locks secure and easily. The switch is smooth, and releases cleanly.Numbers are a little hard to scroll. You'll end up only changing one so it's not such a pain, which isn't good for security, Maybe it'll loosen up with use.

Second U-lock I had to buy for my daughters bicycle after THUGS stole her beautiful Cannondale hybrid from her college dorm bike rack (that bike was locked with a big ole' cable lock, not recommended against our thieves who are undaunted by police and judicial consequences).Then my daughter locke her keyed U-lock around the frame and lost the key. It is tough to cut these locks off. Apparently a special saw blade is required.I highly recommend the combination Kryptonite lock with a cable to complement.

Pretty good lock. I gave it away when I gave away my bike, but now that I will probably be getting another bike soon, I can definitely see myself getting another one of these. My bike was never stolen with it becaue you couldn't cut it with wire clippers... which is how a ton of the bikes with normal locks got stolen at our school.Although, it does have a tendency to be tricky to handle when it gets wet so you might want to watch out for that if you live somewhere it rains every day.

I purchased this lock in 2008. I've used it on my bike, outside, in Alameda, CA (plenty of rain). I've had to oil it occationally to keep the tumblers moving. The one sign of wear is the rubber gaskets at the top of each end of the "U"; they've weathered and cracked, but it doesn't seem to have affected the lock.I think that as long as I oil the mechanism every now and then this lock will last another 5 years.It's soooo great to never have to worry about a key.

Look no further for a great combo u lock. The dials rotate nicely in both directions and have firm stopping points. There is an integrated piece that covers the numbers. This is very useful because you can leave your combo set to open and ride around without anyone seeing the combination. This saves time because you don't need to re enter the code when locking the bike. Cover also protects the dials from dirt and moisture.Best lock I have ever used.

I haven't experienced and issues with my lock, as yet. It seems there are lemon-versions, judging the reviews. I have smaller hands, so I have no problem whatsoever with the dials. I added this as a second lock with a dial-cable lock. It takes a bit longer to lock up and unlock with 2 locks, but the cable goes through my tires and this lock connects me to most racks. At least the thief will have to work or charm it loose!

I bought this for my girlfriend, who never seemed to have her key when we wanted to go for a bike ride. The combination was easy to set, and the lock works great! The weather cover for the dials is a nice touch, along with the carrying attachment's ability to rotate 90 degrees. The lock seems very tough, and, probably more importantly, it looks tough as well. Factor in the great Amazon price, and this is a good buy.

Such a great purchase! I love that its a combination rather than a key lock, because I don't have to remember to carry a key around with me. I've owned it for a year and a half so far, and it's still in as great of shape as ever. I live by the beach, so things get rusty really quickly- but not this lock!

I expected it to be longer than it was so I returned it. I needed 3 more inches for it to work on my bike. I have had these in the past and the combo is great. The design is different than current Krytonite locks. No sure why its not like the new ones unless its security is the same.
