Just in time for back-to-school (and back-to-lockers for many kids!), Master Lock has brought forth an innovation in combination lock security. It is my pleasure to introduce you to dialSpeed Electronic Combination Lock.
Electronic combination lock…what the heck, right?! Well, there are lots of handy dandy things this cutting edge product can do!
It offers an electronic interface which makes it quicker and easier to use than a standard combination lock.
It comes with a resettable primary code and the option of creating 3 additional guest codes. If you share a locker space with someone at the gym, for example, you can both access the locker without having to memorize the same code! That’s especially cool if the code you use happens to be used elsewhere for you.
There is also a permanent backup master code at masterlockvault.com for your device. This means that as long as you can get online, you won’t be locked out forever if you forget your code!
This lock comes with a CR2032 battery that has an estimated 5 year life span before it needs to be replaced. There’s also a low battery reminder so that you aren’t ever surprised to find a dead bolt (snort! snort!) on your hands.
I just got my dialSpeed in the mail, and it looks pretty darn slick! I’m impressed with this new way of approaching how to work a combination lock. I think the generation of kids currently in high school would really love it, too! It speaks to their electronic sensibilities!
Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a dialSpeed from Master Lock!

I forgot my combination once when I was in high school.
I sometimes write the more difficult combos in a random folder or inside a purse pocket. Interestingly, I still remember one code from twenty years ago!
Memorable #s that have meaning.
I write it down backwards.
I’m bad at remembering numbers so i always pick meaningful numbers…they say you shouldnt do that though, so don’t listen to me!
I had my combination written on the flap of my notebook encase I forgot it
I used to forget mine after breaks all the time.
I might have forgotten it after breaks but I wrote it down
I shared one with a friend and she always opened it for me.
i was always forgetting my combination in school im better off with a key.lol
Song for the combination to one of your favorite tunes
If I get to choose the code, I always try to pick something with memorable numbers. Birthdays, anniversarys, etc.
I try to repeat the code over and over till I remember the code
I am horrible at remembering combinations. I have one lock that uses letters and that is easier for me.
Lock looks awesome
I teach high school special education and our students who need extra help get a really dorky lock. I would love this to make them “cooler”.
i email the combinations to myself.
I didn’t use my locker the whole year of 9th grade because i forgot the combination

I use mnemonics to help remember them

try to assign the numbers with something in your life. Its easier if the numbers have meaning
I usually try to correlate the numbers with someones bday to remember
I have forgotten the code to my bike lock before, but at least it was not when the bike was chained somewhere!
I can NEVER remember lock combinations. I still have nightmares about forgetting the combination on my locker in high school. Serious panic attack nightmares!!!
Write them down at least 10 times in a row, helps you remember them!
The best way to remember a combination, or anything, is to put a melody to it
I used a keyed lock when I was in high school. I kept forgetting the combinations!
Don’t have any tips, I just remember numbers really well for some reason
Ive had the same one since sixth grade. I still remember that old combination.
I have no tips except to write it down. Unfortunately my daughter cannot work a combination lock. This one, however, she might be able to. THanks for the giveaway
as in i use them as codes (peoples phone numbers)
peoples phone numbers
I always have been able to remember numbers.
I was always late to class because I couldn’t master those old turn to the left turn to the right locks
I’ve always been good with numbers and memorization, so it was always easy. Thanks for the giveaway.
yep forgot mine before
I associate numbers with my pets.
I always kept the little sheet with the combo on it in my wallet.
I always kept my code in my wallet just in case.
I forgot mine in high school all the time. I made my boyfriend remember it and would ask him all the time. I also wrote it down on my arm. I know I was strange so no tips from me.

I forgot mine all the time in school and ended up just lugging all my books with me.
I kept my combination in my phone
Did you make the hedgehog?
I am good with numbers… or at least was good with numbers. It wasn’t too hard.
I keep my combinations in my wallet on a piece of paper.
I try to make my combination into a song so I wont forget it.
Luckily, numbers stick in my head, so never had a problem in school. Now if I could just remember the combo for a lock I recently found in a moving box…
I always forgot my combo in high school and had to go to the office and get it from the secretary. I secretly think she liked our little visits. lol
I’m a epic failure on remembering numbers.
I was always worried that I would forget my high school lock combo, it was just something that I remembered.
I keep all my combinations in my phone now to help me remember them.
I never used my locker in school because I could never remember the code, my mind switches numbers around so it was almost impossible. Now I think I would put the code in my cell phone.
I have not had too much of a problem remembering them. I have heard that making up a song in your head about the numbers works well!
I always reapeated it and used something easy to remember
I remember writing it on a folder so that I wouldn’t forget.
I sing a little tune with the numbers
if i have my phone with me to play music, etc. then i can store the code in there!
I always had my combination written on a paper on put into something that I would always have on me, like my wallet.
I have always had a hard time remembering combination lock numbers. I had to write them on a piece of paper and then hope I didn’t lose the paper.

I always keep it written on my hand for a few days until I remember it.
I usually make a rhyme to remember it with
make a sentence to remember
Repeat in your head seven times
I’m actually not too bad remembering combinations however any help to remember one with familiar numbers is always helpful.
For some reason I’ve always been very good at memorizing numbers, so I haven’t had too much of a problem remembering.
Thanks so much for the chance to win!!

I forgot the combination to my gym lock. Fortunately it was in my bag at the time, so all I had to do was buy another one.
I have a lock right now that is on a lockbox that I can’t open because I can’t remember the password and can’t remember where I wrote it down at…ARGHH! Hoping to win. Thanks.
I have a bad habit of forgetting if I don’t use it for a while. Recently, I went through every possible combination to find the right one and remember it. lol, fortunately, I had a cold and wasn’t doing anything else at the time.
I still have dreams where I forget my high school locker combination
Im not the best with combo locks, my husband has a good memory.
i used to forget mine all the time grrr used to be lated for class due to it
Practice, Practice, Practice and also have the number written somewhere so you can get to it if you forget.
I remembering practicing a few times the first few days!
This is really COOL
make a rnadom set of numbers people won’t guess
I use race car drivers names to help me as I love racing.
Just keep it written down somewhere handy until you use it enough you memorize it.
I forgot my combination but even more embararssing was my locker #
I try to use the same code for everything, so I do not forget.
It’s amazing it’s been 30 years and I still remember my high school combination.. 14-7-28.
I always had to make up a saying with a rhythm to help me remember my combos.
I have a set code that I try to use for as many things as possible. Can’t reveal it here though….
