Time Lock LCD Display Time Lock Multi-Function Electronic Timer, USB Rechargeable Timer Padlock (Black)

It worked for me right out of the box. Left button sets hour, right button sets minutes. Center button does one of 3 things: 1) quick press, resets back to 00 2) long press (toggle on|off sound) 3) 1-2 sec. press, starts 5 second delay before locking.There's even a backlight display.It will beep when the time is up. Great device for many uses. Lock up your cell phone, tv remote, whatever, then set it and forget it.I'm sure there are some quality control issues, based on other reviews, but mine worked great right out of the box.

OK, you're here because you're addicted to...(fill in the blank), GREAT, you're taking control at last, but with all the beeping everyone in the house will be reminded of your weak will and sinful nature every time you use this thing. There might be a way to silence it, but I tossed the humorous little instruction book out.So, for example: you're sneakily locking up your beloved crack pipe, and BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!! Now everyone within 50 yards is vectoring in on your location, wanting to know "whatcha up to? What's in the box? What are you hiding?" It's enough to make a man drink.

I bought this for my medication bag. Because sometimes I take them too early and this way it forces me to hold off until it goes off.At first I kept messing up. I accidently Set it for 8 hours from now and when it was up I tried to cancel it and instead forced it locked for another 8 hours.In order to clear the time click right and left buttons at the same exact time. The middle button will just lock it again. And start the countdown over.Besides that it’s been really great! And I’m glad I got it!!

I bought this to use with a metal lock box in order to lock up my phone as I feel I’ve been spending too much time on it daily since the pandemic started. This thing is junk. I order from Amazon a lot and rarely ever return stuff even if it isn’t great. But I am returning this. This thing wouldn’t hold a charge and the lock mechanism just randomly comes unlatched or wouldn’t latch/lock at all. Save your money and either find a better model or pay the extra money and buy a decent kitchen safe. That’s what I’m going to do.

So I bought this a few weeks ago. I locked some pills away last night in a metal box. Unfortunately, my desire to get them drove me to get my kitchen scissors out and I was able to cut the lock with some force. I'm looking for a metal version of this as the cable isn't good enough - at least for me.

The 'shaft' is a ??1/8"?? PVC clear-coated steel cable. It came charged and is easy to set the time. Buttons: Left sets the hours - right sets the seconds - Press both left and right to reset to zero - middle starts the timer. It gives a 5 second countdown before it locks. Press any button to stop the countdown which also sets it back to zero. Make sure the cable 'shackle' is in place as it can't be inserted after it is locked.

Works as described, have had it for 8+ months with no issues, would recommend.

I should probably give it 1 star, but I've given it 2 because it worked so well for the first month. It was easy to use, reliable, and caused my productivity to go through the roof. I realized I was getting distracted easily by my phone when trying to get work done, and this was the perfect solution. I was extremely pleased with the product. Today, I tried to use it again to lock my phone to get some work done, to find out the lock on it had broken. There is some sort of spring mechanism inside the lock that doesn't work, and I now can't get the lock inside of the timer. I didn't do anything abnormal with the product, it just stopped working. I'm very disappointed with the product overall. I would have definitely given it 5 stars had it not broken, but clearly the materials used to make it were too cheap. I'm only giving it 2 stars because it worked so brilliantly for the first month. It probably deserves only 1.
