VIP - 8 Pc Metal Padlock Solid Brass Luggage, Backpack, Diary, Jewelry Box, Crafts, School Teaching Lock with Key and Durable Cover (Small, Red)

Overall these are wonderful for my specific applicationUnfortunately I do have to subtract a star because one lock no longer clicks shut and remains openUnderstandably I want these to be reliable

The media could not be loaded.  I can’t wait to use them on my trip soon ,love how all of them work and the color is beautiful 💕🌸

The locks came individually keyed with two identical keys per lock, shipped in a plain Amazon parcel. Contrary to what the store page claims, not all keys were unique. There were some duplicates. (i.e. a set of keys could unlock multiple locks.) I see some reviews saying that all were indeed unique, so I suspect it's down to luck whether you end up with duplicates.The shackle is 1/8" (3-4mm) in diameter and seems to be made of stainless steel. If you only need to create the illusion of security, or want to keep something secure from children, this will probably do the trick. It's impossible to break it with bare hands. Due to the small size, I wouldn't expect this to stop a well-equipped burglar, but at $2 per lock I think that's pretty reasonable.The plastic covering is made of ABS, which has quite a reputation for being nearly indestructible under normal conditions. It's the same plastic that LEGO is made of, so as a big fan of LEGO personally, this caught my eye and told me that they were using good, premium materials. Of the 8 locks I got, the plastic housing could be pulled off of 1 of them. I don't think it's supposed to come off, but it snapped back on just fine, and the lock remained functional even without the plastic. The plastic is very slightly textured so it's easy to grip, and is fairly pleasant to handle.Overall I'm pretty happy with this product. The duplicate keys and the plastic coming off are the only problems I've noticed so far, and for my purposes neither one is a dealbreaker.

These appear to be similar quality and size of another brand set of locks I recently bought for twice as much. Overall this is a great value. Keep in mind these are 3/4" with a shackle about the size of a standard opening in a locking zipper.

I have ordered these locks twice and they have never failed me. They are small, sturdy, and have a smooth locking and unlocking mechanism. I'm never worried they won't unlock or a key will get stuck. The locks have never let me down. They aren't big enough to stop a well prepared criminal, but they work great for keeping kids out of trouble. I use these locks on my ammo cans to keep my kids from where they shouldn't be and they work perfectly.

I have purchased several sets of these keys to use as matching activitiesin my kindergarten. The kids solve equations or sound out words attached to the keys and match them to the appropriate answers on the locks. I have been able to color code the sets for different skills and ability levels. This is one fun practice activity the kids always ask to do again and again!

We use this lock in our escape room. It is sturdy enough to stay locked against constant pulling and people sticking bobby pins in it. However, it opens easily with the key and doesn't get stuck. Unlike other locks that are lock and key specific, these keys seem to fit all the locks so if someone loses a key I can quickly just go replace it. It's a good size for small boxes and suitcases.

I saw a post on Facebook about using padlocks in math centers and wanted to try it out for myself. These are CUTE, and I can't wait to see my kids using them next week. I actually ordered TWO sets, so I could have two different centers set up with word problems (which they generally hate doing) in the hopes that attaching a fun activity to them will make them more fun. Fingers crossed!As far as general usefulness of the locks, they all showed up with keys that work, the keys ONLY work for the lock they're with, and all the locks functioned properly when I got them. (We'll see how that is after a week of third graders with them, but that's another story.)

I love them. The colors are beautiful and the padlocks are strong. I like how professional it looks when they all are similar but different at the same time. It's a great quality/price value.
