Amazing lock. Tested from the spring of 2015 to the summer of 2016. Based on the reviews I've read before purchasing this unique lock, I never would've guessed that it works 100% of the time. This lock is a bit thicker than most but that's due to its mechanism and very unique lock structure.
Positives of his lock include the ability to open it up with only one hand and it's very stylish metallic body. Along with allowing you to set your own unique "password". Mine currently works with a set of 8 shifts with one shift repeated twice.
The main problem that kept coming up during the first week was that the middle knob kept getting stuck on edges such as in the picture I've included. However, after months of usage, that hardly ever occurs unless specifically forced. It's as if it has its own break in period in where you just play around going up, down, left, right in order to get the lock all greased up and loose.
The instructions for the lock must be taken seriously and must be done precisely in order to get the lock to remember your "password". This is where I had the most problems. I messed up once and couldn't open the lock with the new password I set. That's until I noticed it actually didn't recognize one of the shifts I made because the lock jammed up during a shift (main reason why you should play around and break it in before attempting to give it a new password). It was able to open up once I tried some variations of the password I tried to save into it. Just follow the instructions and the lock will work correctly. Keep notes of what you've registered into the new lock password beforehand just in case the new password you set didn't recognize of your shifts.
For me, the ability to open up the lock with one hand outweighs the troublesome setup and break in, which is why I believe it's worth every penny. Just have patience.
PS: For the first few days, I suggest a simple password that doesn't include two of the same shifts, one after the last one, such as up up or down down until your sure the lock is able to make those shifts.
