QuickZip Zip-Tie Multi-Purpose Combo Lock 2 Pack

This lock is perfect for securing gym lockers, luggage, or backpacks. The code system is easy to set and reliable. It feels sturdy and compact, ideal for daily use. A great alternative to keyed locks — no more worrying about losing keys.

These little zip-tie looking locks are great for a lot of different applications. I have used one to lock the legs of a ladder I keep outside to try to make it less enticing to thieves. And the fact that you can set the combo yourself is a plus.

I thought these would be more useful than they are. My plan was to loop it on my road bike and use it for roadside emergencies and urgencies. It's not strong enough to secure an expensive bike but likely strong enough to give you a couple minutes in a port-a-pottie. The primary limitation is that they are quite stiff. This makes them hang awkwardly on my bike. I sort of got around that by putting a zip tie on the end (which otherwise sticks out). A cool beans use is to provide extra security on my bike carrier. It works like a locking bungee cord.

I like these. They may not be as completely secure as bigger locks but if you can get by with using something that is simply a deterrent to thieves, this is a good solution at a fraction of the weight

Immediately upon handling the lock in the process of programming the lock code the plastic shell cracked, almost like the plastic isn't bendable enough. Very strange. I returned it as I don't want a lock that's just gonna rust - I planned on using it in the outdoors to lock a scooter. Also, the lock mechanism is stiff and not easy to turn and that's not gonna work for my tween who is often in a rush to get on his scooter and go. By the way, side note, go to Youtube and you'll find instructions on how to easily crack the code on these zip-tie locks: maybe not an issue if you're just looking for a bit of security, but I think I'd rather find something that's secure and easy to use on a scooter, if there's such a lock.

It's easy to change the combination. They remove easily. I use them for low security situations but they are pretty tough. I use them for electric scooters and I really like them for skis at questionable resorts because you can lock them to the communal rack during a long lunch by the parking lot and nobody is going to try to cut it off at a place like that. It is nice and secure with a steel band going through the plastic band so really would be a pain to hack through, but I only use it for light security jobs.

First I will say these will do the job, however they are not easy to maneuver. They are a bit harder to flex which isn't necessarily a bad thing but might not be right for some. They do seem like they are made well although I just received and haven't been able to test them properly. The instructions were pretty strait forward. Overall for the price they do what is needed the biggest complaint for me is turning the dials are difficult, I will be returning.

I used this lock on a multi-week cycling trip in Europe. It will not keep your bike safe when you leave it in a sketchy neighborhood overnight but it is great for a quick lock-up at a bar or restaurant or supermarket and as a secondary lock when you store your bike in a garage at your hotel.
