Login passwords, email passwords, phone numbers are all cluttering up my memory. The last thing I need is a hard to remember combination (turn how many turns left?) when I go to open the shed or the gym lock. Wordlock is a combination lock that uses easy to remember words instead of numbers. Wordlock®, Inc. was founded by Todd and Rahn Basche. The product was conceived by Todd Basche because no one in his family could remember the many numerical combinations on padlocks around his house. Wordlock was one of the top 100 new inventions in the Invent Now America competition hosted by the Patent and Trademark Office and QVC.
Wordlock comes in various configurations:
Setting the combination is easy simply pick a 4 or 5 letter combination of letters that you can remember with the lock open and rotate a dial so that the word SET is on top and aligned with the combination you set. Voila your new combination is set.
Hi,
I bought a Wordlock 4 letter dials brass padlock in a Canadian Tire store recently. Unfortunately, I can easily open it with my eyes closed. The trick is easy to find. What a joke !
Certainly not the highest standard of security. Beware !
