Spend the extra money on a Master Lock or RioRand or Mizzuco
These simply are not the quality of other brands. When you clamp them in tightly, which you WILL want to do, the lock release does not move easily like the other brands. The button for changing the combination is poorly made and does not return to the original position unless you manipulate it. The combination dial feels flimsy when you turn the numbers.  You should not feel like you might have to cut these locks to open them.  it’s not a lot of money to buy one of the other brands instead and that’s really what you should do and skip these. I was so disappointed I immediately went to return them. Because they were not “defective “I had to pay for return shipping. It’s better than having the locks fail to open when needed. Lesson learned. 
This is a very good kayak for very specific uses, I use it for smaller inland lakes and calm rivers. I have not tried going over any rapids. DO NOT try to compare this with expensive or sophisticated kayaks - this is a very different kind of boat. Good for people 5'9" or shorter and 180lbs or less. Really no leg room underneath (sit cross legged or put your legs on top. BUT - Takes about 5 minutes to inflate. Will go into -very- shallow water. Packs down to a super small size. The vinyl is thick and almost like leather - I have no fear of punctures. Why did I buy this? I was tired of paying $45 / hour to rent a kayak. For just a few bucks more I OWN one that I can stick in the trunk and take ANYWHERE, and when I get home it can be stored in my closet. IF you have lots of storage space, lots of money, a big SUV, like going into big wave areas, etc, then you may be disappointed in this. If you are on a budget and tight on space, and content to paddle in calmer waters, then you will be very happy with this boat. BTW, I also have the two-person version, which will give you leg room and allow you to pack some camping or picnic gear.
