I can remember entering middle school and being introduced to the school lockers and having to memorize the combinations. I still have dreams about not remembering the combinations for my lockers. Not sure what that is supposed to signify do you? Growing up we also had to bring our lock for our gym lockers, not sure who would want a smelly uniform but I guess it was better than a demerit. There was nothing special about the locks, they were they typical turn dial and everyone’s looked the same.
Did you know that more than half of North American students don’t use a locker to store their belongings – most, opting to carry their belongings with them all day. This has to be awful on their backs. However, according to the same survey, nearly half of North American parents admitted that their child has had an item stolen from them at school, with the most valuable being their cell phone.*
*Survey conducted by Survey Monkey in May 2014 among Americans representative of a National U.S. Census
So what is the solution, carrying your things on your back all day or getting a Locker Lock that will protect your valuables from being stolen. Master Lock has come out with some amazing locker locks to for Back to School that should make everyone confident their things are safe in their lockers.
The first locker lock is super cool, 1500eDBX dialSpeed Digital Combination Lock: Eliminate the fear of the forgotten combination with this high-tech gadget for the digital era. This lock offers ultrafast entry and features an electronic light-up keypad with a unique online Backup Master Code that users can retrieve from masterlockvault.com. It stores multiple resettable guest codes and sports a sleek, ergonomic design for one-handed, no-look operation to keep lockers stylish and secure. Available in black and white and retails for $15.99. The battery is good for 5 years so no worries about loss of use during the school year.
I would love to have this on our Car’s Bike carrier since it lights up and would be convenient at night but they do not recommend getting this lock wet at all.
For those kids that are less prone to remember number combinations, how about a lock opens to a 4 letter word of choice? 1535D and 1535DWD Set-Your-Own Combination Locks: Perfect for students who prefer to create memorable combinations in the form of numbers or a word, initials or a favorite acronym. Select styles are available in black or white with brightly colored dials and retail for $7.99.

On Master Lock’s Website they have laptop and smart phone locks now.
The lockers in the gym were so easily broken into in Junior High and High school. I use these locks on my locker at the club, need a good lock for all of my tech gear!
That’s an awesome looking lock but because it’s so fancy, it might be a target. Would love this for my shed though!
Wow those locks are much fancier than the ones I had as a kid!
I love how funky locks are now. My kids can not bring their own lock to school as they have to use a school provided lock. They are the old boring style.
I love the upgrades! Masterlock has come a long way since I was a kid!
I love Master Lock. I’m headed over to play that game. 🙂
That is so awesome! I had no idea they made them like that now! Thanks for the info!
We only really had lockers in our first year at secondary school. They were never in a block we were in most of the day, and weren’t on the way out of school, so were never used. We just had key padlocks we had to provide.
Love the word combination ones. Cool colours
I am just so glad my kids are not at locker age yet. I am not ready for them to grow up. Lol. And yet…at the same time, I totally am. Anyway, the locks look great. Thanks for sharing!
MasterLock is a popular and trusted brand. We also use it here.
Most schools in my country don’t believe in the idea of lockers. The closest thing that we had to a locker were boxed shelves on one side of our classrooms and we could only leave books & notebooks. We were encouraged to bring home our stuff every day.
Best School Locker Locks with Master Lock- Oh how cool it would have to been to have one that lit up! Even the basic lock keeps evolving 🙂
We don’t supply our own locks at school. If we did, I would totally use this brand.
I love Master Lock. It’s like a portable Fort Knox. I never use anything else.
My daughter uses master lock for her gym locker.. she likes all the different combinations she can make to trick her friends..
Seeing those lockers brought me back to highschool days lol. My oldest is in highschool this year. Will have to get this for her.
Cool Looking And Love That You Can Creative Your Codes Must Get For My Son!
Those are some cool locks. I would have loved those when I was in school.
MasterLock is the only brand of lock that we buy. I need to buy one of these for the gym!
Digital locks? Very cool.
I have never seen a lock like this but I think it looks really cool.
I could have really used something like the 1500eDBX dialSpeed Digital Combination Lock when I was in school. I was constantly forgetting my combo. I don’t even know the combo for my work locker anymore so I never use that.
I remember forgetting my gym locker combination once. It was not fun. These locks are great for kids. My son starts middle school this year and will have a locker.
my kids are still little; however, these are great tips for me to keep in mind!

I have always used Masterlock as a school lock – even now, in med school. I do have to carry around most of my books (and computer and everything else), so it can get rather tiring. I forgot my combination once at the end of the year last year and they had to cut my lock off! Could have used one of these.
That digital lock looks really cool. It’s so different from the locks we had when we were kids!
Master Lock is all I have used for years and years. The new designs and methods are so neat!
These are really cool! I wish they had these when I was in school, I always forgot my combination!
How nice a change in combination locks, I like the colored ones you can put in your code for, I always lost my combination and had to wait till I got home to get it from my mom or dad, thankfully, I have an old combination lock here, but no one knows the combination…LOL may be left from the 60″s when I was in school.
