Bought this so my tree sprayer can get into the backyard. Installed easily on stockade fence and gate. While this won't make my yard impenetrable, its very much a deterrent and works as advertised.

I've been looking for locks for my two gates and I thought this might be the solution. After looking at the videos I think its not quite there.

I'm not a big fan of the latch type but i guess it would be OK. The big problems I see are the type of combination it uses, the turn wheel style is a pain in the back side, and it does not automatically scramble the code after its used. If the last person to use it doesn't remember to scramble it the gate remains unlocked.

Not quite there yet.

I installed on of these on a side gate. The concept is excellent, and the instructions were clear. Unfortunately the quality of the lock mechanism is so poor (IMO) that the lock is basically useless and I will be removing it.

After setting my combination, I tried but it failed to open at first. I had to juggle the tumblers many times and finally it did open on my combination. When I wish to lock it however, it is very difficult to get the tumblers to roll.

My assessment is that the lock mechanism is just very cheaply made and does not work very well. This is a shame because it is a nice design idea and if quality made I would be very pleased. Perhaps I got a poorly made one off problem - do not know.

The wood gate combination lock arrived quickly but the cover over the combination was broken. I called customer service and a replacement was shipped promptly. The second one was not broken but the combination cover does not latch like it is supposed to. Otherwise it works well even though the cover does not latch properly. I installed it anyway and concluded that the quality control on the product leaves a bit to be desired.

Great idea just not perfect yet. For the price expected a sturdy latch then the normal cheap one that bends, plus the combination numbers are not that smooth to dial beside that great item.

I've been looking for a lock like this for a while. I want to keep unwelcome people out of my yard, especially since I have a pool. Yet some people, i.e. pool service, gardener, exterminators, etc. need access and I may not be home. I had a locksmith install the kit. He had to add a piece of wood to make both sides of the gate even but it was completed in a short period of time. I wanted some of my neighbors to know how to open the lock so they could get in the yard in case of an emergency. Two neighbors wanted to know where I bought it as they want one too. I've found it easy to instruct people who should have access how to use it. I highly recommend it.

Initial item shipped was defective. Customer service was very helpful in quickly shipping a replacement.

Only lockable gate latch I could find with lock being an integral part of latch. Fairly easy to install. I had a metal framed wood gate kits that were a little more work than an all wood gate.

Although we have not yet installed the lock, it appears to be just what we need to protect the secluded backyard with a pool. It arrived in a timely fashion, and we're very satisfied.
