“The shank is not long enough to fit through both holes in the support post, meaning it has to be used only through one of the holes, significantly reducing the strength of the security provided. For the first Hoselink hose reel I purchased years ago I bought my own padlock with an extended shank. I did expect a padlock from Hoselink to also have an extended shank.”
“Expected the padlock to be larger, to fit across full diameter of the mounting pipe. Turns out its not, but still does the job of preventing easy removal (theft) of the reel from the mounting bracket.
The padlock fitted in easily, without any issues. Ive only had it for a couple of weeks, so cannot comment on durability and rust resistance.”
“Fantastic. No more frustrating manual wind ups of a kink filled hose. The hose just glides and is going to make things soooo much easier. Very happy with quality and a minor part issue was promptly rectified. Excellent customer service. Will highly recommend”
“I found the padlock secured the hose reel really well (no pun intended) and fitted easily. It is solidly built and the key inserts with a secure click. Its brass materials offer a weatherproof and reliable solution to potential theft and the padlock looks good too. I have no hesitation in recommending this anti-theft solution. In addition I feel that it is a must where the hose reel can be seen from the street and Im sure the lock would act as a visual deterrent to any thief.”
