Product Description
Remember your high school locker combination? Of course not. But what if it had been "FLAIR?" Or "TROLL," "CHURL," "LOSER," or "BEERS?" The Word-Lock lets you make a "password" combination out of 4 or 5 letters... so much easier to remember than numbers. Made from hardened steel, it's easy to set and hard to break.

Art Fry, the inventor, who brought all of us post it notes indirectly has come up with another very clever idea. Art was a judge in the contest looking for cool new timesaver creations and Todd Basche was a winner in this event with his invention: wordlocks.
This combination lock works with letters rather than numbers. For those of us who are password challenged, this is a great help to our failing memories and it is easy to update your passwords changing your word combination.
Wordlock was recently Highlighted by Peter Greenberg, Travel Editor for NBC, at the Travel Goods show and was one of the top 100 new inventions in the Invent Now America competition hosted by the PTO and QVC.
All of these locks are easily reset when you want to change your combination to a new word. Travelers can choose from 10,000 letter combinations to set their password on their luggage locks, while these padlocks provide 100,000 letter combinations.
For me, words are much easier to remember; while numbers are easy to forget.
The product family from wordlock that Amazon offers on line includes the following:
Padlocks (Locker Locks)
Bike Locks
Luggage Locks
It is worthwhile investigating these products even if you are only interested in luggage locks which are all TSA approved.
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 should service them best.

My grandkids loved the padlock. I did not open the package but it looked like it was well made.

Functional.Larger than expected,which takes away from it's portability.OK for a locker or very large suitcase, but that is about all.Would not recommend it for anything else.
