Unlocking the school locker - no more nightmares.

I so remember fumbling with my lock and locker when I was in school. As a matter of fact I think that most of the nightmares that I used to have were of not remembering the combination and being late for class. It was SUCH a source of stress (funny how silly that sounds now). Between my gym locker combination and my "regular" locker combination - I was always standing there turning the tumbler over & over again.

Things are different now and we worry more about the security of locks, getting hacked, etc. Whatever your concern MasterLock has come out with a couple of new locks that will match your teen's personal style, that includes new technologies that you won't find anywhere else.

"The patented 1500iD 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 the traditional rotary dial. The lock is faster to open than traditional locks, more secure and customizable. Users can create their own easy-to-remember, resettable combination consisting of any number of movements in any sequence. For users 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.

The 1500iD Speed Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock is particularly appealing for teens who have limited time between classes and are always looking for faster access to their school lockers. The lock also provides improved ease of use for visually impaired consumers, because users don't need to see the dial to open it."

Some of our kids just don't like change, but DO want the option to change combinations, etc.

"The patented 1590D Set-Your-Own Combination Lock is designed for the traditional, nostalgic user who is more comfortable with using a rotary dial. For the first time, Master Lock is now able to offer those users the dial combination locks that they fell in love with in high school with a resettable feature. Users can choose their own combination using three letters or numbers and operate the lock with the standard right-left-right combination lock movement most consumers are familiar with. An enclosed reset tool ensures that users will never forget their combination again."
