Purple Master Lock Padlocks for Gym and School Lockers

Best for
Anyone happy with blue, red or purple

Best for
Siblings or gym plus school locker

Best for
Students wanting a guaranteed purple lock

The Master Lock Combination Padlock 1526EC is the one to buy if the goal is a lock that is unmistakably purple. The listing describes a purple aluminum cover with an anodized finish and a matching dial, which makes it easy to spot in a row of identical lockers. It uses a three-digit dialing system with 1,500 possible combinations and a 1-7/8 inch wide metal body with a hardened steel shackle.

Its signature feature is auto-scramble: the dial scrambles the combination when you close the lock, so the next person cannot see the last number you used. The description also mentions an automatic locking lever that secures the shackle when closed. It is recommended for indoor use, though the description lists bikes and sports bags among possible uses, and it refers to the model as 1526D in places. Choose it for a school or gym locker where you want the whole lock in purple; step to the two-pack if you need two.

• Purple anodized aluminum cover with matching dial
• Auto-scramble on closing
• 1,500 possible combinations
• Hardened steel shackle

Best for
Buyers wanting a steel cover and lifetime warranty

The Master Lock 1514D Dial Combination Padlock takes a slightly different approach. Only the dial is purple; the cover is stainless steel over a metal body. The shackle is hardened steel, 9/32 inch in diameter, 3/4 inch long and 13/16 inch wide, and the lock body is 1-7/8 inches wide. An anti-shim locking mechanism is included for added security.

It uses a preset three-digit combination, is made in the USA and carries a limited lifetime warranty. Master Lock says it is not intended for outdoor use. One bullet oddly tells you to measure your door’s backset and cross bore, which is irrelevant for a padlock. Choose it if you want a more understated look with a purple accent and a stainless cover; choose the 1526EC if you want the lock to be fully purple and to scramble on closing.

• Stainless steel cover, purple dial
• Anti-shim locking mechanism
• Made in USA, limited lifetime warranty

The two-pack Master Lock Combination Padlock 1526EC2 bundles two purple 1526EC-style locks. The features repeat the single version: a 1-7/8 inch metal body, hardened steel shackle, three-digit dialing with 1,500 combinations, auto-scramble on closing and a purple anodized cover with matching dial.

The listing is a little sloppy. One bullet still calls it a single-pack, and the unit count field says five, while the title, components and item count all say two locks. We trust the title: two padlocks. This pack suits a student with a school and gym locker, siblings who want matching locks, or a gamer who wants one lock for the gym bag and one for a storage cabinet holding consoles.

Best for
People who forget number combos

The Master Lock Word Combination Lock, model 1535WDPUREC, is the only lock here that lets you pick your own code. Instead of numbers, it uses a four-letter word that you set, which many people find easier to remember than a random three-digit combination. It is purple, uses a heat-treated steel shackle and includes anti-shim technology.

It is smaller than the dial locks, with a 1-1/2 inch wide body and a 1/4 inch diameter shackle. The shackle length is listed as 15/16 inch (24 mm) in the features and 23 mm in the description, and the description refers to model 1535DWD; these are minor listing inconsistencies. The description mentions dial grip points and a limited lifetime warranty. Choose it if you have ever forgotten a locker combination; choose the 1526EC for a larger body and auto-scramble.

• Set your own four-letter word
• Anti-shim technology
• 1-1/2 inch wide compact body

The Master Lock Combination Padlock 1530DCM is the gamble option. It ships in blue, red or purple, and the color is randomly selected, so you may not get purple. Otherwise, it is a well-specified locker lock: a 1-7/8 inch metal body, anodized aluminum cover, 9/32 inch hardened steel shackle 3/4 inch long, preset three-digit combination and anti-shim locking technology.

It carries a limited lifetime warranty. Pick it if any bright color will do and you mostly want an easy-to-find lock. If blue is your color, our blue Master Lock guide covers locks where you can choose it outright.

• Random blue, red or purple
• Anti-shim locking
• Anodized aluminum cover

Best for
Fans of pink instead of purple

The Master Lock 1530DPNK Locker Lock Combination Padlock shares the 1530 construction in bright pink: 1-7/8 inch metal body, anodized aluminum cover, 9/32 inch hardened steel shackle, preset three-digit combination and anti-shim mechanism. It is an indoor lock for school and gym lockers.

It is not purple, but for shoppers who want a bright, easily spotted lock with a guaranteed color, it is a reliable alternative. The description mentions a limited lifetime warranty, while the spec field simply says warranty.
