Hose Bibb Lock – Original Outdoor Faucet Lock Prevents Water Theft and Waste, Easy to Use, Comes with Padlock, Protect Plumbing, Water and Money, DSL-2 - Single Pack

This Goldenwarm matte black door handle is an attractive upgrade for closets, hallways, living areas, and other interior doors where a locking mechanism is not required. I like the modern square design, which gives doors a clean and contemporary appearance while complementing a wide range of home décor styles. The matte black finish looks elegant and helps resist fingerprints and everyday wear. The zinc-alloy construction feels sturdy and durable, providing a solid feel when opening and closing the door. Installation is straightforward with standard door preparations, making it a convenient replacement for older hardware. The keyless passage function is perfect for interior spaces that need easy access from both sides. I purchased this handle on May 15, 2023, and checked it again today. After more than three years of direct sun exposure and rain, it is still in very good shape. The finish has held up remarkably well, and the handle continues to function properly. The only maintenance needed at this point is a little lubricant in the lock mechanism. Overall, it’s a stylish, durable, and functional door handle that has proven its long-term reliability in real-world conditions.

The Hose Bib Lock works exactly as advertised. It must be screwed onto the faucet tightly to avoid leakage if the faucet is turned on and the lock is in place. Even if it leaks, the water leakage is minimal and a thief could not benefit from the leakage. As noted in other reviews, the included lock is of very poor quality so I purchased a good weatherproof padlock to use in its place. If this lock is installed correctly, it cannot be removed without cutting off the padlock or serious damage to the assembly itself. It will protect the faucet from a casual water thief. Delivery, on the other hand, was a nightmare. Apparently it's become common practice to use what's called "SmartPost" where the shipping company (both FedEx and UPS) turn the package over to the Post Office for local delivery. In the past month, I've lost one package after the Post Office claimed it delivered the package (the business was closed at the time of posted delivery) and two others have been delayed by up to a week after attempted deliveries to my shop after the business has closed for the day. No notice was left at the business and only tracking disclosed the problem. For some reason, getting the package delivered when it is within 2 miles of it's destination is beyond the capabilities of the Postal Service. These were small packages. Larger ones are still delivered by the original shipper and I haven't experienced any problems with them. I gave the product 5 stars because it performs as advertised. If I were to include delivery, I would have downgraded it considerably.

The padlock is a 99 cent product from China. I do not understand why people complain about the padlock when you can buy the hose bib with the padlock for $11.98 and without the padlock for $14.98. The padlock is a joke, but the hose bib lock works perfectly. The hose bib lock I got prevents water from coming out if you turn the water on, it prevents someone from using your water, and a regular padlock will fit perfectly. I got tired of repairmen using my hose and not winding it back up, now this cannot happen. I do not have to worry about someone turning my water on. Sorry to say but if someone wants to steal water the neighbor on either side has unprotected hose bibs. For the money this is a wonderful product that works. I purchased one, it worked perfectly so I purchased the second one. I am 100% happy.

A bit flimsy and I doubt it would hold up to simple attempts to remove but it makes a good visual deterrent. Very easy to install.

This was my second choice. The style that covered the whole hose bib didn't fit my faucet. For this one there is no issue. It's solid brass, goes one easily without tools and locks with the little padlock that was supplied. It's a little trickier to unfasten to use the faucet than the one I bought previously. Takes two hands. But it's not hard and if the threads don't get limed up in my water it should be good forever. My only caveat is if you are trying to get children or others to not turn on the water, this won't do it. The lock prevents the attachment of a hose but does not seal the faucet shut. I expect that turning on the water will have drip and squirts everywhere. I haven't tried that tho'

I had ordered 3 others of this hose bib lock earlier without the padlocks and they work wonderfully and are easy to install. I needed 1 more and really didn't pay attention to this single one came with a padlock. I am very glad I was not going to rely on this padlock for security. It is cheap PLASTIC and would provide no protection except from the least enthused thief in the world. Uh, no thanks. I am glad that I had the 4th padlock from the Master locks set, which are all keyed the same, to use with this bib lock. Nice product, but keep the cheap lock.

I recently experienced water theft from the outside faucet and I knew I needed to find a lock. Initially, this model was my least favorite because I wanted to be able to lock the faucet without removing the hose. I tried THREE other locking mechanisms and none of them fit correctly. Two of them didn't fit at all and the third one was plastic (the red one) and I was able to maneuver it off the faucet handle to the point where you could still turn the water on. I finally purchased this one as my last resort and it works very well. I used my own lock and sprayed a little silicone lubricant on the thread to prevent corrosion. If you tighten it just right (without over tightening), it will create a seal so even if the water is turned on, it will not seep out or leak. I wish I would've just purchased this one from day one. After having several failed attempts (one of which I cannot return), I am pleased to finally find one that works.

I had to buy these because the contractors builing the house next to ours were using our water hose for their needs. It does what it is supposed to do and does not allow for anyone to access your outdoor water supply, but the material is not water proof (odd) so they will rust over time. Also, the locks are cheap, if someone wanted to break the lock they could. As a first line of defense, this lock is worth it.

Lock outside tap

Exelente producto

Not sure if still available but this works flawlessly. Purchased after neighbour flooded our basement while away with garden hose in window well. Just be sure to keep supplied padlock well lubricated given it sits outside during climate extremes. Otherwise, you can always upgrade to a different lock as long as its shackle fits the lock's hole.

Buena calidad y cumple bien su función.

I spend some time searching for this kind of lock in Rona, Home Depot even Wal-Mart. I finally found what I was looking for here. We are really happy with our purchase: it was easy to install and the lock, even if it seem a little flimsy, does the work.
