A Breakthrough In Security Technologies: Neo-Padlocks
Resource Description
Every man and his dog know what a padlock is and how to use it. Moreover, almost everyone has made use of a padlock at least once in their life in order to protect their personal belongings from unauthorized access. Even kids use padlocks: sometimes to secure their toy boxes or just for fun – they play with keys and padlocks. But the most important reason why people use padlocks and keys – thieves and burglars - and unfortunately, it is a must.
A bit of history: Padlocks have been used by Ancient Egyptians and Babylonians since 2000 BC. The oldest ones were made of wood.

Padlocks. New wave
The bitter truth is that to unlock a standard padlock is no longer a difficult task for most of the unfair people mentioned above – they can just pick a key and get access. If this variant doesn’t work – they make attempts to destroy the mechanism. As long as thieves’ skills are constantly developing, modern technologies dictate contemporary requirements and demand much from padlock manufacturers.
The first innovation took place in 2009 – it was a padlock that could be opened with the help of an unusual combination – the mechanism reacted on right/left or up/down movements. The most prominent representative of the innovative mechanism – Master Lock 1500iD – perfectly suits for indoor applications on lockers and cabinets. This mechanism can be unlocked only after you apply a special code - a combination of movements and no numbers or letters to remember! This makes it perfect even for kids.
The top-rank specialists move with the time, and in autumn 2015 the world welcomed an unequaled security – the Bluetooth Smart® padlock. Fortunately, this technological breakthrough provided its users with new possibilities in security and set new limits for those with evil intentions. Master Lock 4401DLH was designed to keep personal belongings and territories safe – it can be used for gates, fences or garage doors as well as for storage boxes, lockers or chests.

How to double down on security with padlocks
As far as opportunity makes the thief, the protection of personal belongings is a highly important task for every person and requires proper attention. Leaving this process unattended may result in bad consequences, starting with spoiled property and finishing with its absence. So, as in every beginning, you should think of the end.
The choice may seem really wide and difficult, but after answering two simple questions below, you will know what to choose.
What and where are you going to protect?
That greatly influences the choice. The primary points of any security system are gates, fences, or front doors – they are the first to tempt and welcome the burglars in.

These mechanisms ensure you with ultimate protection and extra durability along with resistance to prying, shimming, or rap attacking.
Extra tip
Along with reliable padlocks, provide your territory with proper lighting.

Add-on protection should be imposed on personal documents or other valuable private belongings. Whether you are having a picnic, sunbathing on the beach, or just leaving your office for a lunch break – be sure your stuff is safe and protected from any unauthorized access. That is possible with a portable safe Master Lock 5900D. This capacious case allows you to carry important or valuable things, like the mobile telephone, cards, jewelry, and others with you, or leave them in this case without attendance fearlessly.
