Back to School with Master Lock Sweepstakes and Giveaway CLOSED

Milwaukee, Wis., May 26, 2010 – From being on time to class to acing tests, students face an array of challenges every school year. Master Lock is taking the challenge out of locker security with two creative padlocks featuring faster user speeds and custom combinations to assist students’ unique learning styles. As students across America head back to school this fall, the 1500iD Speed Dial™ Set-Your-Own Combination Lock and the 1590D Precision Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock are designed to keep belongings secure and students on-time.

Master Lock’s revolutionary Speed Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock features a first-of-its-kind design that opens on directional movements – up, down, left and right – instead of a standard rotary dial. The lock is faster to open than traditional locks, saving students valuable time as they hurry to and from classes. This innovative lock is customizable, allowing students to create their own easy-to-remember, re-settable combination with any number of movements in any sequence. For those who prefer more traditional methods of recalling their combination, the lock includes adhesive letters, numbers, colors, shapes and symbols that can be applied over the lock's directional arrows. This creative lock offers a helpful solution for visually impaired students, as users don't need to see the dial to open it.

For those students more comfortable with a traditional padlock, the Precision Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock from Master Lock features a standard rotary dial. However, busy students can leave memorization for their history books as they choose their own combination for this unique lock using three letters or numbers. The lock operates with a traditional right-left-right movement, and an enclosed reset tool ensures students will never forget their combination again.

Like every great school accessory, these locks are available in an array of vibrant colors: the Speed Dial is available in red, blue, black with chrome, and black with green, and the Precision Dial is available in pink, black, blue and green. Both locks feature anti-shim technology making them more secure than traditional locks.  
For an extra measure of security and convenience, students can visit www.combolocker.com. Combolocker allows lock users to store multiple combinations or key numbers in a secure database that can be accessed 24/7, 365 days a year.

From locker security to Facebook privacy, Master Lock is also offering a solution for locking up secrets online with the "Master Lock Secret Vault" Facebook application. Facebook users with a juicy tidbit or fun photo they want to share with a select group of confidantes – but not their entire friends list – can install the application at www.facebook.masterlock.com, lock up their secrets in their own Secret Vault using a virtual Speed Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock, and create a custom combination to share with only a select group of friends. 

The 1500iD Speed Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock and 1590D Precision Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock are available at retailers nationwide, with suggested retail prices of $8.99 and $7.99, respectively. Both locks are also available online at www.Amazon.com.

Win one of EACH of these style locks here.  I don't know about you but I think these locks would have been a life saver back in school.  Somehow I was a math whiz but when it came to remembering my locker combination, epic FAIL!  Plus they're actually kind of cute.  I don't know if all schools will allow kids to use these locks as I recall my high school only letting us use the locks THEY gave us, thus allowing them to be able to get in if need be.  But I'm sure you'll be able to find a great use for them regardless.
