I like the locks. I used to buy rigid shape code lock, the ones with solid metal arcs not the wire ones. The wire ones offer much wider flexibility in using. I specially like that the wire ending connects into the lock itself in a way that you don't even have to use the code always, it looks like it's locked already and it doesn't come apart unless you move it inwards first and then pull. It's useful in moments when you have to lock and unlock your luggage etc often in a short time period, like in an hour, this way it looks like it's locked already and you don't always have to start entering the code. My only small complaint is that the wire sort of looks like it's about to come apart from the lock any minute, it has moved a bit outwards. But it looks solid and it doesn't seem to interfere with the locks work. Frankly, this has happened to every wire code lock i have and i have quite a few of them.
