Combination Locks
I like to use combination locks for our gates for a few reasons. The big one is no key to lose and common codes. Also, if another group/family member needs to access the gates without you being there, a quick call can solve the situation. No key to hide nor to be found....
I also reset the lock to zero-zero-zero-zero after I lock it up. That way is someone has tried a few combinations, chances are the no-gooder won't reset it to my code. While locks only keep honest people out, I try to make my house more difficult than the neighbors. Thieves are lazy like that....

I just changed out the key locks on my gates to Master combo locks similar to the Sesamee lock you have pictured, and for the same reasons you did. Sesamee locks have been around a long time. I used one on my boat back in the 70's. They're good. The master locks allow you to change the combo to whatever you want; handy. I'm not sure if the Sesamee locks allow that.
ReplyDeleteI reset my combos to zero as well; something that was chiseled into my head in Coast Guard boot camp... a long time ago... when the Company commanders were allowed to "chisel..." and there were no "emotional time-outs..."
Good God; I can't believe it's gone that far...
"emotional timeouts", if only they would do that during wars....(sarcasm font)
DeleteWe have key locks for access to our property. I have the largest master lock I can find. I like how you switch the numbers back to Zero, smart!
ReplyDeleteJust a little sign if it has been tampered with, passively.
DeleteLove the idea of setting back to zero.
ReplyDeleteFor an even more clever security trick, always reset to a birthday or other not so obvious combination.
