Expert Reviews


What experts liked

The Master Lock 653D uses four chrome-plated dials to make it difficult for anyone to guess the combination or to physically damage the dials to get access to the lock. The thing that sets this combination lock apart is its superior construction: an extra-thick two-inch steel body that is durable.
Besides high combination ability, the body is strong having forged from sturdy metals and hardened steel shackle. The bottom part features on-slipping surface which also improves the overall grip. The quick to read window ensures that locking and setting the combo is smooth.
The durable steel padlock is 2 inches wide and the shackle is made of hardened steel. The four chrome-plated dials add a decent look to it. It will withstand all the abuse in schools and gyms.
