The Master Lock 4680DNKL delivers reliable security with user-controlled combination settings that eliminate the need for keys. This resettable combination lock features a hardened steel shackle and weather-resistant nickel finish that maintains performance in harsh outdoor conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed-combination locks, the 4680DNKL allows users to set their own 4-digit combination and reset it whenever needed. The nickel-plated steel construction resists corrosion better than standard zinc locks, while the precision tumbler mechanism provides smooth operation even after extended exposure to moisture and temperature fluctuations. The 2-inch wide body offers enhanced security compared to smaller padlocks.
Key Features
- User-resettable 4-digit combination with 10,000 possible combinations
- Hardened steel shackle with 9/32-inch diameter for cut resistance
- Nickel-plated steel body measures 2 inches wide for maximum security
- Weather-resistant design withstands rain, snow, and temperature extremes

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 160°F. The lock maintains smooth operation after 1,000+ open/close cycles, making it suitable for high-traffic applications like storage units, gates, and equipment securing. The corrosion-resistant finish shows minimal wear after 12 months of outdoor exposure in salt-air environments.
