Where can I buy a Gym(combination) locker for under 3 pounds?

Is 3 pounds or so for a padlock from 'the Gym group' a good deal?

Also are combination locks better than conventional lock with a key? I imagine resetting a combination lock isn't the hardest thing in the world and also there's a risk with a conventional lock that somebody else might have exactly the same lock as me !

I imagine you can get something cheaper online, though postage might make it the same price. Have look at a local hardware store or supermarket.

As for combination vs key: personal preference, I think. Though remember that a key will then have to be carried with you while you workout. There are ways to deal with that, but something to remember. I would have thought that any lock that's reasonably sturdy and cannot just be pulled apart or easily sawn open will do. Do you have a particular problem with theft at your gym? At every gym I've ever used people have put stuff in lockers without locking it (though not me, I must admit).

I'm not sure if there is but I don't want to risk it happening to me lol!

i use a lock with a key, and keep the key on a lanyard some times round my neck sometimes in my pocket.

Same but so many people had the same lock as me in my old gym( seems many people went to the pound land down the road lol)! Although the locker area was in the front and covered by CCTV so was safe

Boots do those combination locks. No idea how much they cost though.

There's a combo luggage lock in Poundland at the moment - I'm not sure if it will be large enough for you, its in the DIY section. It is very much like the Antler combo locks: http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/travel-accessories/antler-identity-combination-lock/ is the kind of thing.

Way too small for a gym locker. However thanks for trying!
