Can you recommend a locker lock? (self.Blind)
submitted by BreakingBlind
I’m legally blind so have a slight amount of vision left. Recently joined a gym and need to buy a lock for a locker. The ones where you line up a dial are difficult to see, especially if it is up high or by the ground. Has anyone found one with large numbers? I’ve seen the Bluetooth or thumb print ones but feat the battery not being charged and not being able to unlock my stuff like my phone and keys. Thanks!

Master Lock makes a North/South/West/East lock. I'm sure its not as secure as a combination lock, but it'll probably do. We use them at my work (I work at a nonprofit for the blind)

Second for this. It's customizable and no sight is needed.

I have used the Master Lock 1500iD for a couple of years. It's very easy to use. It's a directional combination lock.

I've never had a problem with them (aside from not remembering the combination because I personally only open them every month or so lol)

I'm old fashioned with a good ol' padlock and key. Another advantage is that it is a bright colour so I know exactly which locker is mine

I don't know what they are called but both of the two types of combination locks my parents just found at WallMart.
a): a four digit combination with a lever. you slide the different levers to positions 1-2-3-4 with four being top and 1 being bottom.
B : ten digit (might have been 8?) + switch. this was buttons either in the up or down position, thus there was a specific shape the sequence had to be in.
sadly I'd lost both of these.
You could also always get a lock with a key for your locker. .

Just don't get a cheap one and expect it to hold. I had a cheap padlock on my locker when I was in school and forgot / lost the key. I grabbed it with both hands and launched myself backwards as hard as I can and it popped right open. You can't do that with a good one though.

If a plain padlock with key doesn't feel safe enough for you, they make padlocks that come in two pieces and you have to have the key in the big metal part in order to slide it on or off the U-shaped locking part. I used these in middle school after other kids kept stealing my padlocks. They couldn't do it with this one. :D
