This is a partnered post with Global Influence and all thoughts are my own.
The summer has really flew by FAST. In less than 2 weeks my kids are starting the new school year. This means back to school shopping time for mom. I got a head start on our shopping this year but there are still some school supplies I need to buy. The new clothes and shoes have been bought but we are waiting on the lists from our children’s teachers to get them everything they will need to get the new year off to a good start.
I know that I am looking forward to going back to our daily “school routine”. Did you know that nearly one third of North Americans agree that a return to routine is their favorite part of the back-to-school season? Consumers’ second favorite back-to-school activity is shopping. (Surveys conducted by Survey Monkey in May 2014 among Americans representative of a National U.S. Census)
For those looking to buy new locks, I always go with a lock from Master Lock. When it comes to protecting your valuables, you don’t want to use a cheap lock that can break easily. I believe it is worth it to pay the extra cost on a heavy duty lock, especially if you are locking up something like a laptop, iPad or tablet. Master Lock has came out with a new lock out that my daughter Hailey will be using this year, the Master Lock 1500eDBX dialSpeed Digital Combination Lock. I think this is one of the coolest combinations locks I have seen yet!
This lock offers ultrafast entry and features and electronic light-up keypad. No more spinning your combo lock to left and right. What is neat about this lock is you can save and receive your combo code from MasterLockVault.com so that you never forget your combo again! I wish they would have had these locks when I was in junior high and high school. I like that these locks light up and I also like that you can set combinations for 2 guests too!
Now through September 7, 2014 you can participate in the Master Lock Photo Hunt Challenge. This is an online interactive game that offers players a chance to view the many products that Master Lock that can protect their belongings while also having the chance to WIN fun Master Lock products and other prizes. The game features two similar back-to-school images and asks players to spot the differences before the time runs out.
Master Lock happens to be the world’s LARGEST manufacturer of padlocks and other related security products for the automobile, home, school, power sports and more. Master Lock offers a wide range of products that are perfect for your back to school shopping needs including padlocks for your children’s lockers, laptop locks and even locks for their backpacks.

Are you started your back to school shopping yet?
That back-up for passwords is such a blessing. I know I’m totally guilty of forgetting combinations more times than not!
I have not started our back to school shopping yet, but then again, we don’t go back till September. I still have some time.
Love their products for pretty much everything that needs to be locked up! The innovation is always there.
We don’t have kids but I still do some shopping for back to school, you can find great deals for office supplies!
Wow, it seems like Master Lock just keeps coming out with cooler and cooler locks! My daughter still has her’s that she used on her locker in middle school. It is neon green and looks so cool! Master Lock will always be a trusted brand among my family!
I keep meaning to look to see if they make an outdoor lock that will not rust. I want to use it on the gate to our dog yard so that I know unless I unlock it no one can open the gate and come in. Looks like they have a lot more options then when I was in school. Thanks for the reminder. I really need to get one so that I have it when I remodel and the door to the outside is on the opposite side of where the gate is.
Master Lock is great. My husband uses a Master Lock to keep his tools secure when he’s out working. Those things are darn near indestructible.
This looks great, Lock combinations have come a long way since I went to school!
No School yet, so no back to school shopping yet. Cannot wait because I love school supplies. 🙂
Oh I love masterlock! If I had a locker again I’d definitely want one of these! Or a bike to lock up! Definitely!
You know, I still have nightmares about not remembering my lock code in HS… it was always so embarrassing bringing a teacher out to ‘unlock’ it for me… ugh… this lock sounds awesome
I haven’t started yet but am eager to. i love this time of year, since it’s true – it’s the relief of routine and schedule again. I’m craving it!!
A back up for remembering- how awesome! I remember having to go to my homeroom teacher to tell her I forgot my combo… again!
THat is one cool lock. I would have wanted one like this back in my school days. I had to have the techest coolest of everything.
My daughter used master lock on her locker in middle school. It was great because some lockers got broken into but hers never did.
I used to have so much anxiety the first few days of school over my combination!! I love that this would eliminate that problem!!
I’m a big fan of their vault lock! My kids find it way easier to have a word!
Awesome photo hunt challenge! Thanks for sharing!
I trust master lock too, always have. I think that’s a great idea. Nothing worse than losing your combination and having to throw out a good lock.
I love Master Lock… I love that idea.. I always lose my combination.. Thanks for sharing, will have to check it out.
That’s amazing how smart that lock is. Love the master lock brand as well!!
We will start shopping soon as I normally wait until the sales are in full swing. My son is starting college and my daughter is starting her last year of high school, We won’t know what they need for supplies until classes start.
I really need to get this lock! It looks so cool, seriously!
Master Locks are the best. I remember using them back in middle and high school! Oh the memories…..
I love Master Lock products. I used to use them all the time in school
Guess what? I’m done with my back to school shopping. Yay!!
My kids started back to work earlier this week, so we had to get all of our back to school shopping done by last weekend. I will be checking out the twitter party and the photo hunt sounds fun.
