I purchased this lock primarily for the resettable four digit combination. Some other reviews said that the combo sometimes resets itself. I tried it anyway. Well it did that to me. We reset the combination to a family standard. We used the lock to secure our kayaks. Multiple family members used the kayaks with that combo and then one day we couldn't open the lock. Absolutely zero chance we were using the wrong combination, so the combo had reset itself.
No problem though, a quick internet search found no less than four methods to quickly crack a Master lock model 175 and they all work. And worse when I got this lock home I went at it with the drill and an angle grinder. It's basically made of paper mache, nothing, not the case, the combo face plate or the shackle took more than a couple of seconds to get through with power tools. So this lock is likely to keep you out but not the crooks.
So while the features are great the quality and reliability are poor and this lock isn't worth it.
