Master Lock

The best known lock

Master Lock is one of the world’s most well known lock and security organizations. Their products range from residential to commercial locks, and include a number of innovative products for vehicles, computers, luggage and lockers.

Defeated by Bic?

There are a number of consumer blogs and websites dedicated to the art of lock picking: proving that all the latest security technology isn’t going to protect your stuff from a thief. While the investigations focus on the portable models that secure bicycles, motorcycles and lockers (among other mobile valuables), it’s been proven that some Master locks can be picked with a ballpoint pen, a beer can or even a credit card.

While the videos posted by lock pickers (both amateur and professional) can be both scary and disappointing to the security consumer, Master Lock is one of the few companies that have addressed the issues directly. They’ve developed a unique website focused on “Street Smart Security.” With more than 50 available products for your portable needs, the website also offers tips and tricks for better using and maintaining your locks and increasing your security.

Nightwatch Deadbolt

Master Lock works with much more than portable security. They’re constantly innovating the way consumers can customize their home security systems, as well. One of their most original designs is the Nightwatch deadbolt system.

Master Lock recognizes that there are plenty of situations where you might find the keys to your home out of your hands: you leave all your keys with your mechanic; your cleaning or maintenance company may have copies; or you or your child can lose your keys or leave them unattended. What this means is that while you may deadbolt your door at night to protect your family, you may still find yourself vulnerable to invasion by someone who has managed to get a copy of your key.

The Nightwatch deadbolt is a simple system that disables the key mechanism on your deadbolt. To turn on the system you simply press a button and pull the latch on your door. This removes the key mechanism from the deadbolt latch and makes it so that a key can’t deactivate the lock. The system contains two steps so that you can’t accidentally activate the Nightwatch and lock yourself out.

The Nightwatch system is easy to disable from the inside – all you have to do is push the latch back into place. This way you won’t find yourself struggling to unlock the door in case of an emergency.

The Nightwatch deadbolt provides that little bit of extra security you may need when you’re home alone or you simply want to sleep a little more soundly.

Consumer Satisfaction

The company continues to work to change the way people think of their security systems. An internationally well known company, Master Lock is one of the most reliable security systems you can choose.
