Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed.

The unpacked combination lock

The combination lock impresses with its good looks and the practical shackle height of 35 mm. The dimensions of 82 x 42 x 15 mm and the low weight of 120 grams make it handy and easy to transport. The aluminium lock body and the hardened, galvanized metal shackle are solidly made and make the product robust and durable. No information is available on the sustainability of the product, but the high-quality materials suggest a certain environmental compatibility.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the GOODS+GADGETS® combination lock delivers what it promises. The functionality is there and it is suitable for various applications. The configuration of the numerical code is simple and secure. Security is increased by the 4-digit combination, which offers 10,000 unique possibilities. Handling the lock is straightforward and it reliably fulfills its purpose. Protection and durability are guaranteed by the high-quality materials.
The lock is only suitable to a limited extent as a security lock for luggage such as suitcases, rucksacks etc., as most zipper eyelets are not wide enough for the diameter of the shackle. The lock itself is also sometimes too large for the piece of luggage. When traveling by air, a TSA lock should also be used.
The manufacturer offers a money-back guarantee in the event of dissatisfaction. This model is currently available in various pack sizes. Overall a very good product.


Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
