Our Thoughts

This was a super easy review to do!  We love MasterLock, and have been using their locks for many, many years.  They sent me the 5D Laminated Padlock:

Product Features:

• 2" (51mm) wide laminated steel body for superior strength
• Hardened boron alloy shackle for maximum cut resistance
• Dual locking levers provide extra pry resistance
• 4-pin cylinder helps prevent picking

Best Used For:

• Residential Gates & Fences
• Sheds, Workshops & Garages
• Storage Lockers
• Tool Chests & Tool Boxes

This lock will see years of use with us.  We use MasterLock locks (including the 5D) on toolboxes, outbuildings, even on our boat!  I think my favorite of all their many lock options, is the "keyed alike" option. There's a long story involving the vacation from hell, where one of our problems was solved with "keyed alike" MasterLocks.  Prior to that, I didn't know you could buy them keyed alike, we'd always purchased individual locks as needed.

Now, here's some cool stuff I didn't know:

They offer LoveLocks!  I had no idea this was a common thing.  My mother recently returned from a trip overseas, and showed me a photo she took of a gate with hundreds and hundreds of padlocks on it. 

"Love Locks can be seen on bridges all over the world.  It is an international custom for sweethearts to lock a padlock to a bridge [or gate!], symbolizing their everlasting love. Master Lock invites sweethearts, family members, and friends to virtually lock up your affection or memorialize loved ones on an iconic bridge, no travel necessary." 

You can purchase the LoveLock of your choice right on their website, choose a bridge, write a message, and send it!
