"I lost the key to my Master Lock padlock keeping my flagpole lowering mechanism locked. I decided that I would go down to my local hardware store and borrow their bolt cutters. I BROKE THEIR BOLT CUTTERS trying to cut the lock! Haha! Talk about one tough lock!"— Chris @ Council Bluffs, IA Full Story

"We have 3 ATV's secured to a trailer with chains & Master Locks. Thieves worked with bolt cutters & prybars, but were unable to get them opened. We were very surprised and disturbed that someone tried to take our machines, but very pleased that our decision to use Master Locks saved them. The locks really stood up to the would-be thieves' attempts. THANK YOU for a great product! Sincerely, Frozen Lake Racing, Mazomanie, WI. 53560."— Grant @ Mazomanie, WI Full Story

"For school we needed a gym locker lock and I had the one where you reset the lock by moving the wheels on the red markers. At the end of the year my gym teacher said "If you don't take your locks home, we will cut them off and take what's inside the locker." Unfortunately for them, I had a Master Lock and they couldn't cut it off with bolt cutters! So they had to call me over to the school to remove the lock."— Jonathan @ columbia, MD Full Story
"Today I visited the Gold's Gym. I had been leaving my stuff in one of the lockers and secured it with a hardened Master Lock combination lock. When about to leave I noticed 2 bolt cutter marks where someone tried to cut the lock in half but without success. They couldn't cut thru it. Amazing lock! My hat's off to Master Lock."— Clay @ Sebring, FL Full Story
"Many people buy insurance hoping they'll never need to use it. In some ways, my purchase of your Model #6121 was similar. Your product exceeded my expectations in that it truly prevented loss of my property. While I "hoped" my property wouldn't be stolen, your lock "made sure" that it wasn't."— David @ Janesville, WI Full Story
"The shed was burglarized not only once but twice within one week! Although the burglars ultimately managed to enter the shed by using a crow bar to pry off the hasp, the lock fared in much better shape! I was very impressed at the inability of the burglars to pry, cut, or in any way break the lock! Fantastic product that we will recommend to anyone!"— Judith @ McAllen, TX Full Story
"U think a Master Lock isn't strong? Some thieves tried to drill out a lock on a gangbox at work with my tools in it one night after work. The bit had broke off while"— John @ Baton Rouge, LA Full Story
"The next morning I found that someone had tried to break into the truck. They apparently tried to use bolt cutters to cut through the shackle. I don't know how long they spent working at it, but judging from the number of scratches on the shackle they must have spent some considerable effort. As you can probably guess, the amount of progress they made was pathetic. They would have been better off trying to cut a hole in the side of the truck."— Carr @ Erie, CO Full Story

"...as I write this,I have that lock sitting on my desk with part of the shipping container door still attached to it!!! It was so hard to open the lock that they cut the container open around it. I'm upset that I was burglarized, but smiling at the same time as I picture these fools beating on this lock till blue in the face only to have to start over with plan B. I would have paid to watch them in the middle of the California desert (115 degree heat) beating on that lock! Thanks for letting me share my story."— JAMES @ glendale, CA Full Story

"The Master Lock with hardened shackle is the boss in my book of the Worlds Best. Just recently someone had tried to break into my work shed and they unsuccessfully used bolt cutters to cut the Master Lock. I use the 4 pack for the convenience of one key and this lock saved me THOUSANDS OF $$ in losses. Thank You Master Lock, for making me safe."— ERIK @ BINGHAMTON, NY Full Story
