Junk bottom of the barrel products.

The worst locks on earth, and a ego thats even worse. Avoid like the plague

Update 5/14/26: Yeah… never heard another peep from these folks. I decided to wait for the next promised interval. No proactive communication. I reached out today and was told a couple more weeks. So, I’m ripping off the band-aid and taking the loss with these folks. I’m trashing all my locks, hitch lock housings, and padlocks. I’m sorry they haven’t been able to figure out what they need to do to source locks, keys, or whatever the issue actually may be. Best of luck, folks. I hope you can get it together for future customers… I won’t be one of them. Update 2/5/26: I was contacted by Iris at Proven Industries to see what could be done to make things right. They offered several alternative solutions to address my need. I appreciate that they reached out to me. I have a fairly specific use case that prevented me from accepting their alternative solutions. Given that, not being able to satisfy my need is now a decision I made rather than a failure on their part. I am going to stay the course and wait for my product to become available again. It’s predicted to be a month or two. Again, I’m deciding to wait in light of their supplier situation, the way they handled my issue once the issue was identified, and my decision to wait based on my unique need. I’ll post another update when the product is received. Original review 2/2/26: Yep, nope. Look elsewhere. They used to make good locks and lock hardware. Now, they can't even ship keys and lock cylinders. I had them cancel the order I placed with them months ago. I have kept in touch. Each time frame has been missed. I canceled the order and will be throwing all my locks and hardware away and reinvest in another platform. $2k... gone. Thanks, Proven Industries.

terrible product and team

This company lies about their products and if you complain then they publicly shame you and sue you, even if you're just being totally honest and not even rude. Stay away from this company at all costs.

I understand that most of these reviews are in retaliation to your stupidity of suing a person who found a vulnerability in your locking mechanics. But as an amateur lock picker myself, I had my hands on few of your products, and I can genuinely say that you guys should either stop advertising that it's "secure" in any sense, or work more on the engineering and design. It is almost impossible to create an "unpickable" lock, the best you can do is to make it slow and hard as possible, and also learn to take criticism and bring a culture of continuous improvement among your engineers and designers. Hear the flaw, fix it and move on, repeat. That is how the best companies work, All the best guys.

PRC made locks with US made lock bodies. They sell problematic locks, prone to picking and once they were called out they invested time and money into litigation rather than improving on the products. Buy any other brand. Update: They tried to flag my review to have it taken down as “defamatory”. If trustpilot takes down reviews because businesses don’t like them that just reflects on Trustpilot’s value. The facts remain the same: These locks are made in the PRC while being advertised as USA made.
