 Which locker is mine? September 3, 2007
Bentley (USA)

You are at the gym and you are trying to remember which locker was yours. Easier with these color coded padlocks which come in silver, pink, red or black.
Then comes remembering what the number series was for this particular lock. Now it is a lot easier because Art Fry who invented the beloved post it notes was the judge in a contest looking for the next new invention. Todd Basche was a winner and had come up with another clever timesaver: wordlocks.
These word-powered locks are bright and colorful and easy to see from a distance. They are also a welcome relief to those of us who are password challenged from trying to remember odd numeric combinations. You can set them to any five-letter combination (real word or not)
Also, if the kids all want their own lock, it is easy to color code which lock belongs to whom without any squabbles.
One reviewer seems to like the Master Lock version better and, of course, I agree that there are always personal preferences and possibly tighter and more stringent security environments where a Master Lock might be necessary. But in my gym and in other similar situations, it has not been a problem. In fact, most children prefer the ease of the word locks and to me that is the innovative part. It seems that Master Lock is also offering their own version of this creative concept. I am wondering who came first: Todd Basche and Wordlock or Master Lock's version? In any case, the ease of use and your lock situation should determine what you feel comfortable in using. The Wordlock is made of hardened steel shackle for strength and security standard in WLPLS. It may feel lighter; but I always prefer items that are lighter yet still durable, sturdy and secure.
I like both Wordlock's products very much as well as Master Lock. The consumer should decide which lock would service them best.
The ease of use and your lock situation should determine what you feel comfortable in using.

Great idea for locks October 3, 2007

This is such a great idea that I can't believe it hasn't happened before. It is SO much easier to remember a word than a number (whose birthday?). And the colors are not only cute, but help distinguish the locks. The letters seem to accommodate just about whatever word you want. I have one on my shed and one on my fence and a little one for my luggage. Now I see there is one for my bike. They will be great for the kids' bikes, since kids can remember words more easily than numbers, too!
Also good quality and no trouble setting the password - works just like a number lock. A great idea and so obvious, I wonder why I didn't think of it!

A full two days after my daughter started using this lock her locker was broken into. The lock was still intact and not broken. It was hacked using an aluminum can. This lock works great for honest people not for people hoping for security with dishonest kids in middle school. Of course the regular combination locks get hacked with the same aluminum can trick.
