can i use the lock on my *own* laces ?

The little plastic disks with two holes in them are spring loaded to bite down onto whatever is inserted through the holes, and they are separate from the laces themselves. So, yes, it should work as long as you can get your laces threaded through them (the holes are probably about 3/16" when open, so I think most shoelaces would fit).

It would depend on the size of your own laces, because the locking part will only allow something with a diameter of approximately 1/8". The laces are included in the price, so you can use them for a comparison to see if your laces will work.

The idea behind the locking laces is that the lace is actually stretchy. This allows you to remove shoes without having to tie and untie laces. The standard lace in a shoe does not allow that.

I agree with JCinTexas. If however your own laces are not elastic you would be missing half the benefit of Lock Laces.

These "locks" don't actually lock, they let the laces pull right through at the slightest tug. They're defective, poorly engineered, worthless Chinese made products at their worst. You might as well just buy the laces without the locks and tie knots in them so they "lock".

You can, as long as new keys are available with you. By using same methods from number one lock up to the sevenths lock

Yes, there is also a loop on the lock for any other kind of lock you may want to use.

nope - just like shoelaces... you can tie a simple knot and they stay snug...

It's somewhat difficult, if you don't use both fingers the lock and sometimes bind. It meant to be used with both fingers, I recommend you go to your local knife store and try it out!

I'm sure with some trial and error, you might be able to find a padlock that fits the bar. It's a special padlock where the shackle comes completely out of the lock mechanism - forming a "U" that fits down through the top of the bar, and then into the lock itself. Not sure how much money you could save over buying the whole thing, when factoring in the "hassle factor" of finding something that fits.

Yes, it can be used alone but I returned the lock I purchased and bought the Yale lock with Schlage keyway for less money. This is not an automated lock....there are much less expensive (less than 100.00) options if you are not networking with Z wave controller.

The set up does allow you to do that , yes . The lock itself is separate . We find this unit to be much better than one we had before . Hope this helps you ...Carlos.

no, the case has locking points integrated into it for you to put your own lock on it.

Yes. Put the new laces in the shoes, determine the right length and cut off the excess lace. Then you will need to close to lace lock around the ends of the shoe laces and snap it shut. Sounds more complicated than it really is.

Yes, you can lock the bldg. A lock is not built in, so you would have to use your own lock but the door handle does accommodate a lock.

Kind of a tough question to answer affirmatively but you can lace them pretty darned tight... let's put it this way: you can lace them tight enough to be uncomfortable/painful if you want to.

They should work fine. The laces you'll receive will be plenty long enough. In fact, you will have to cut off several inches to not have to much flapping. Cut off less than you think - which is not what I did - you can always trim more lace off later if necessary but cannot add back on.

I'mNot sure but what ever you do lock tight the screw . These will notoriously get loose on you . You may be able to squeeze the strap and get the screw started . You might not be able to tighten it down all the way but that's where the lock tite comes in .

The laces come with a small plastic clip that covers the cut ends and serves as grip to pull the laces and tighten them with the locking device.

Sorry! I don't use it anymore, and never had to replace laces, so.....! I don't anticipate the laces breaking since I did use it extensively, and never had a problem, nor a hint of them wearing out. The unit is easy to use, the reason I purchased it, so I am certainly happy with having done so.
