Wordlock PL-003-SL 5-Dial Padlock, Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I previously owned a Master-Lock version of this "spelling lock" that offered four-letter combinations, so I bought this five-letter lock assuming two things: that the letter-dials could be removed and rearranged to suit my preference, and that all the letters of the alphabet were represented at least once.

I was mistaken.

Here, in order, are the letters available to the user on each dial from left to right:

Dial 1:
A, L, S, W, B, P, F, M, D, T
Dial 2:
A, P, O, R, I, L, C, E, T, N
Dial 3:
A, N, U, T, O, S, E, R, I, L
Dial 4:
A, O, S, K, N, R, T, E, L, D
Dial 5:
E, R, L, S, N, T, H, Y, D, BLANK

You must spell your word on the fixed dials without rearranging them, and you will have to choose a word that does not end in a vowel, as so many common words and names do. You may also notice that the letters G, J, Q, V, X, and Z are missing entirely, so if your preferred code-word contains one of these, you will be out of luck.

With the Master-Lock version, not only can you rearrange the dials for more variety, but you can also switch out the dials from different Master-Locks to spell a unique word that would not otherwise be possible, such as X-RAY or L33T.

I have no complaints about the WordLock's security--the whole lock has a heavy, sturdy feel to it, and the method of resetting the code-word via a dial on the side is as easy if not easier than the Master-Lock's method of snapping off the right side of the casing. But you will most likely have to resort to your third or fourth choice, as I have, before you find a word that will work with limited selection of letters.
