Master Lock Blue Tooth Enabled Locks Review



masterlockMaster Lock has introduced a line of Blue Tooth enabled locks. You never have to worry about loosing a key again. Master Lock has always been my #1 choice in locks for reliability and durability. These new locks are no exception. They are rugged, and have the heft and strength you come to expect from Master Lock.

It’s weird to say this, but setting up the Blue Tooth enabled Master Lock the first time took about 5 minutes. I had to download and install the “Master Lock Vault App”, and setup my account with a Master password. Once that was completed I paired the Lock in the App with a special code provided when you open the lock packaging, From that point forward anytime I want to unlock the padlock all I need is my smartphone with the app loaded close to the lock and initiate the unlock sequence by clicking the unlock button that illuminates on the front of the lock. I have provided some screen shots to show you what it looks like in the app during the unlock process..

You can also manually open the lock with a series of up / down / left / right clicks on the same unlock activation button. When a battery gets low in the lock the app will inform you so that you can replace it.

They currently come in two models prices at $49.99 and $59.00 these locks would be perfect for a school locker or something that you would access on  a regular basis that needs securing..  It should be nothed that only the larger of the two offerings are weather resistant. The smaller lock is inside use only.
