Best customer service
my lock failed after 3.5 years but when I reached out the the company they called me immediately and walked me through removal of the broken lock. It’s now garbage but they even offered me a discount on a new lock. I ordered again through Amazon because I was so happy with their service I didn’t want to take a discount. Thank you again!

Manage outside water flow
I would never deny anyone water when needed, but my landscapers open the outside hose spigot and leave it running when they finish. This prevents that. Just don’t lose the key.

Defeated my water thief and survived their assault
Bought these to stop a water thief that kept camping in my backyard. They threaded on easily. The thief tried to break this lock off with a sharpened stone. They hammered away at it for several minutes. The metal lock did not yield or deform.My only complaint with this design is that it doesn't protect the valve. You can still turn the water on. This lock is supposed to act as a seal to prevent water leakage, and it does an OK job at it. With the spigot on full, mine still leaked a tiny bit. A slow drip. Could probably be fixed with some thread tape. Thankfully, this slow drip was not enough to satisfy the water thief and they eventually gave up. Success. And a bargain for the asking price of $11 per lock with free shipping straight to my door.

Absolutely Useless – All Three Were Duds
I bought three of these and every single one just spins and does nothing. No functionality, no purpose—just a waste of money. This product is either extremely poor quality or completely defective. Either way, avoid it. Total disappointment.

Quality locks that will last
Purchased a few of these magnetic hose bibb/faucet locks to secure my garden faucets. These locks are made of powder coated aluminum, made to last a very long time, will not rust. The magnets that are used inside are the extremely powerful and permanent, rare earth magnets. Each lock comes with two magnetic keys; keys have magnets encased inside plastic sheath for durability and protection. When the magnetic/plastic key is inserted into the side of the FaucetLock II key hole, the magnetic key triggers the earth magnets inside the lock to join the free spinning thread part to the outside powder coated casing, thus allowing the entire lock to rotate to lock/unlock onto the thread of the faucet. Without the key, the aluminum internal female thread stays secure to the hose bibb male thread, while the outside powder coated casing spins freely. There's a rubber stopper at the bottom of the lock that seals in the water from the faucet. Once the lock is hand tightened to the hose bibb, not a single drop of water will come out even with the faucet turned all the way to full. I can rest knowing nobody will take my water without me knowing! I also like the smooth look of these faucet locks, blending in with my garden. It's so small and cleverly designed, it looks like it's not a lock when looking from a distance. Only fault I found was the key holes were a little sharp on the edges, may cut the fingers of little kids playing with it if they're not careful. I filed the edges of the key hole down to taper them. Need to taper the edges for future locks that are sold.

Key will no longer unlock device (Rating Upgraded)
*******Update August 2024*******One of the two locks has now stopped working just as they both did the first time. Reducing to 3 stars because although the devices themselves don't appear to last as long as might be expected, they are a good concept, compact and the company is responsive when contacted. I think I will just leave the stuck one on till I have no choice but to remove it using the tool provided by the vendor, but once removed I will look for another solution to securing the outdoor faucets.****** Update September 27th, 2023 ******I found an email for the company and sent a message with the issue I was having. Within a couple of days I didn't so much get an email response as a personal phone call from a company rep. He asked me a few questions about the devices and said that the issue might be due to my having an older version of the product. He asked me whether I wanted a refund or a replacement. This is fantastic customer service as there are always those who want a refund. For me though, I LOVE this product when it works so I said I would prefer a replacement. I also asked about removing the existing non-working devices. Not only did he send me the newer version of the product as promised, but also provided a tool to remove the old devices free of charge. When everything arrived it was pretty easy to remove the old locks. I replaced them with the newer versions and for the moment they are still working. I will wait a few weeks as happened with the first ones I bought and make sure these still work after that time. But for the moment, I will raise my rating from 2 to 4 stars if only because the devices are great when they do work properly and most especially for the stellar customer service from the company once they knew I had an issue******************************************************************************Well if this would work properly I would love it. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Lock your water tap away from thieves. It worked well the first month or so, but just yesterday (about 6 weeks after purchase) I tried to unlock it and it just turns as if there was no key inserted. I bought two locks keyed the same and I've tried all four keys. None of them work *on either of the two locks*. Kind of like they both broke at the exact same time. This can't be coincidence. Maybe these were in a bad batch or something but now I'm stuck not being able to use my outdoor taps. I tried to find a contact for the seller but can't see any contact info on their store page or on Amazon. Anyone have an idea how I can remove these without damaging the water tap itself? Shame because I really like these.
