- dosman33 2y agoSame company makes both combination dials and the large padlocks like the 831, 833, 851. I was lucky enough to tour their manufacturing facility, it's a typical machine shop plus a small foundry as they do their own casting on-site too.
- sandworm101 2y agoS&G padlocks are evil. They are hateful devices. The inner working are broadly similar to the full-sized dials but are fiddly little demons. Changing their codes never goes properly, and recovering from a lost code requires multiple special keys. I know of boxes containing dozens of "bricked" S&G padlocks that people have given up trying to use. The difference in design and build quality makes it hard to believe both are made by the same people. https://mbausa.com/content/downloadfiles/8077_Combo_Recovery.pdf https://mbausa.com/content/downloadfiles/8077_Combo_Recovery... https://mbausa.com/s-g-padlock-combo-recovery-set/ https://mbausa.com/s-g-padlock-combo-recovery-set/ Compare with the easy change procedure for dials: https://homelandsafes.com/how-to-change-the-combination-on-a-sargent-and-greenleaf-mechanical-lock/ https://homelandsafes.com/how-to-change-the-combination-on-a...
