Master Lock M530XQLH Magnum Solid Steel Keyed Alike Padlocks, 1-3/4 in. Wide, 4 Pack Keyed-Alike

I needed some locks for gates and sheds. These with a long shackle worked well. Just one shed had to have the hole drilled to fit the lock's shackle size. We have had these for several months, now, and they have not started to rust and still look new. As so far they look weather resistant over the old locks we had. Now we have locks that use all the same key, and that makes it easier to open.

bought these to replace the outer shell on my older padlocks. All it takes is a screw, and you can use tbe old keys.

Perfect for padlocking my toy hauler

I ordered three sets of the 4 pack of these locks. I opened the first pack and removed the key and function tested the first four locks and they functioned fine. I removed the keys from the second set of locks when I realized that all three of the packs had the same key code sticker number. I thought I got lucky since it would be easier for me if all 12 of the individual locks were key-alike. Got the key from the second pack and tried to function test the first pack of locks since they were loose already. The first key did not unlock the lock. Tried the second key from pack two and that also didn't work. I thought maybe the lock was the problem so I repeated this for both keys on all four of the locks from the first pack. None of them opened up again or functioned. I then went back to the keys that came with the first pack and they functioned the 1st pack of locks just fine. Oh well I thought as it would have been nice if they did work. Tried to remove the locks from the second pack and then found that the keys that came with that pack would not unlock any of the second pack of four locks which were still locked in position in the packaging from MasterLock. I then tried the keys that came with the first pack on the locks still locked in position from the second pack and the keys from the first set unlocked all four locks in pack two. The third pack of locks also used the same keys from the first pack and either of the keys from my first or third pack would unlock any of the 12 locks in total I had bought. So it seems like from the manufacturer some how they put the wrong keys in the second pack I bought. For me, it worked out and it wasn't a big deal but for those who order these locks if the keys don't work you could have something like mines where the wrong key was attached to the set.

Freezing rain on these locks and they open with ease. These are the best lock for the money. Never buy locks made in China where you can’t get duplicate keys made.

I've had good luck with Master Lock padlocks over the years and tend to stick with what works for me. I needed this specific shackle diameter to work with the chains I already have. This set of padlocks only comes with 2 keys. Since time immemorial, keyed-alike sets have come with 2 keys per lock.Also, the "packaging" they come in is a thick plastic card with molded blocks that fit around the lock. There's no easy way to get the locks out. I used a pair of pliers to twist the plastic parts until they broke off. What a pain in the butt! Won't dock a star b/c the locks themselves seem to be of good quality. Just have a pair of pliers handy if you buy these.

worked as excepted no issues found

Perfect
