Rolson 66857 Alarm Padlock

I needed a more secure lock for my garden workshop. I saw the reviews of this lock and it seems some people found difficulty using it whereas others found it straightforward to use. I found it extremely easy to use. It is a robust well made lock, you need a good screwdriver to unfasten the bottom of the lock that houses the batteries but it came apart well and after inserting the batteries went back together like a dream. You can use it alarmed or unalarmed by turning the full shackle around. Has a great loud alarm and is heavy enough not to move in the wind..Personally I am very pleased with this item and would recommend it.

This is a brilliant piece of kit for the price. You get an alarm and a disc lock all in one (fit my 2013 Bonneville a treat) and fits into a pocket. Yes it's probably easy to break so I wouldn't recommend it as a stand alone security device, but if you nipping to the shops and want something that is quick and easy to use and will deter pond life from wheeling away your pride and joy - then it's brilliant.There's a lot of entries about how difficult it is loosening the screws. They're probably using the wrong driver, I used a JIS screwdriver (Japanese Industry Standard) and had no problems whatsoever, if you don't have JIS screwdriver then I strongly recommend that you invest in a set, especially if you 're a vehicle DIYer (they are a common screw on automotive electrical devices and are not compatible with Philips or Posidrive)

Horrendous alarm and lock for the price. At first I thought it was fantastic it was extremely loud but overly sensitive which in a way could be W good thing cautioning those off who may try and interfere. After a matter of days the alarm system stopped working completely even with a change over of batteries, the locking system then began too rust making it impossible to unlock the padlock with the keys and it resulted in the key snapping, once we got the padlock undone we can no longer use it for what we bought it for. Just an absolute waste of time and money and I do not recommend this product at all if you’re looking for extra security you won’t get it with this.

Nice chunky padlock only issue is when it rains it goes in the lock making the alarm very quiet

It is doing the job on the shed. It looks strong enough and is quite loud but if someone wants to get in the shed they will do. If I can I will leave the waterproof review blank until it rains as I don't know the answer.

I would not recommend this product. the alarm doesn’t work, that was a wast of money

Very sturdy, loud alarm if you try tampering with the lock, simple to use.Would be too large for small hasps, I needed to change my shed one for a larger size to accommodate the lock.

Really good solution. Going to buy a few more... I have attached it to the bars of my bikes on the rack. 2 movements in 5 seconds then the very loud alarm goes off. Note, not suitable for outdoor use in wet conditions.
