The BoxLock package delivery lock is designed specifically for users that are concerned about their delivery packages getting stolen. Thanks to the simple yet efficient design, it has a high-security rating and becomes a real headache for thieves to actually pick the lock and they will just leave your delivery box alone simply because it won’t be worth the hassle.

Normally, in order to unlock the device, you use a phone application (compatible with Android and iOS). However, this is not the only way to open it. Owing to the Wi-Fi module, you can share one-time use access codes that will come in handy when you expect a delivery but not available to receive the package in person. Likewise, you will be notified after the package has been securely delivered, which is quite handy too.

Other features include a rechargeable battery that can last for up to 90 days on a single charge as well as a weather-resistant housing that prevents moisture, dust, and dirt from getting inside the locking mechanism of the appliance.

In the end, the BoxLock delivery safety lock is the best solution against porch pirates, hands-down. By severely limiting the ways in which the lock can be picked, this model will keep trespassers at bay and will give you and your family that much-needed peace of mind.

While most application-based devices offer their owners high security, they can be tricky to operate sometimes, especially if the battery runs out of charge. Fortunately, there are other, alternative solutions. Unlike application-only based padlocks, this model from WGCC features a fingerprint scanner, which works like a charm. But what about the actual battery life? The answer is simple - thanks to the standby mode implemented in the product, the built-in polymer battery can stay offline for weeks on end. Given that you won’t use the lock too often, it can remain functional with little to no charging. 

Moving on, the weatherproof capabilities of the lock include an IP65-rated housing that firmly protects the locking mechanism against harsh weather conditions, which makes it simple to utilize in both dry and humid environments. As for the fingerprint scanner, it can be paired with a phone application in order to set up. To be more specific, the lock can scan and store up to 15 groups of fingerprints, which is ideal when you want to give access to the padlock to all members of your family.

Light, keyless, and simple in use, the WGCC Bluetooth padlock will be a good addition to your security gear. Be it a fence grate door, gym, pool, or school locker, it will protect your belongings from being stolen and your keep the trespassers away.

If you are one of those people who look for something simpler than a lock stuffed with bells and whistles, Igloohome has something to offer. The first thing that catches the eye is its keypad that takes pretty much the whole surface of the front panel. Each button of the keypad is fairly sturdy and easy to press at the same time, which makes entering complex combinations simple.

What is more, the “Smart” prefix is not there just for show. The Bluetooth module of the lock enables changing the PIN-code on the fly via the Igloohome mobile application as well as locking and unlocking the safety appliance itself. Likewise, you can also send new PIN-codes to the people you trust, expanding the usability of the lock. This particular feature will come in handy in cases when you anticipate deliveries but are simply unable to receive them.

Moving on, the long shackle of the programmable padlock makes it easier to hang on various doors, gates, as well as allowing to secure bicycles, for example, which is a nice addition to an already great set of features.

Wrapping things up, this model will act as a great all-purpose lock for storage units, school lockers, gates, as well as for delivery boxes. Simple in operation and easy to lock when needed, it brings the “smart” part of the smart lock term to a whole new level.

Outdoor keyless locks are dime a dozen these days, but which ones are actually good? Well, this product from eGeeTouch is definitely among the better ones and here’s why.

First of all, the body of the lock, as well as the high-quality shackle, is made of high-strength hardened steel, which provides solid protection against bolt cutters and metal saws. The zinc coating, on the other hand, makes the padlock weatherproof to a certain extent, so you can use it in dry and humid environments without the risk of malfunction. Furthermore, the small dimensions of the lock make this model great for taking it with you to the gym or the pool to secure the locker. Alternatively, the lock can be used for securing the doors at storage units as well as hanging it on the gate of your fence.

The combination of two wireless modules enables to open the lock with a wider range of devices other than phones or tablets, including fitness bands and smartwatches. Conversely, the in-app functions provide the user with remote access to the lock and the passcode sharing option. The only quirk of the lock is its rather short shackle, which makes it harder to hang on some doors and gates. On the bright side, though, the thicker, high-quality shackle provides high security against bolt cutters and metal saws, which is not a small feat at all.

All in all, this small and simple padlock will be a good option for users that want an upgrade from regular models but don’t want to break a bank by purchasing such an upgrade.

Contrary to indoor locks, outdoor models should have pretty impressive weatherproof capabilities and we can safely say that this full-body product from Master Lock is one of those.

To elaborate on that, this particular padlock features a full-body housing that prevents any moisture from getting inside the locking mechanism. Conversely, the long shackle of the lock makes it easier to hang on various doors that have a non-standard hanging loop or simply don’t have them at all.

Moreover, simple backup access makes it easy to open the lock when it runs out of charge, however, this shouldn’t happen too often as long as you pay attention to the incoming notifications in the mobile application. To make utilizing the lock even simpler, it will conveniently send low-battery notifications directly to your phone, so you will always know when it’s time to recharge it.

The only thing that we didn’t like about this particular lock model is that its Bluetooth module can lag if the appliance’s battery is low. However, if you keep the power levels in check and recharge the padlock on a regular basis, it won’t be that huge of an issue. To add more, the package includes CR2 batteries as well as additional weather covers that protect the inner modules from chilly temperatures.

Finally, this keyless and wireless hanging lock is simply one of the top picks for outdoor use you can find today. It’s filled to the brim with smart features and it doesn’t lack the most important one - the backup unlock, which makes it worth the price.
