Lock of the Day- 25/7/22

Once I got the app set up, I found the Master Lock Bluetooth padlock very easy to use. As long as I had the app open on my smartphone, I could easily unlock the lock with a press of a button—no key or combo required. There’s even an added security feature that lets you set a “locker mode,” preventing someone else from trying to unlock it while your phone is near.

The reason why it isn’t higher on the list is I’m concerned that those who aren’t as tech-savvy won’t be able to use it with ease. You also need to keep an eye out for a dying battery indicated by a yellow glow or else you’ll be stuck jumpstarting the lock to get your precious trapped items. This lock was also the only one to fail the water test. The batteries short-circuited as expected, which leads to some concern of potential water damage if it’s used outside. I would personally use it as an indoor lock, though.

Pros
Easy to use

Secure

Cons
Not great for outdoor use
