Padlock

​​Where most smart padlocks steer clear of numbered combination codes, the new Igloohome Smart Padlock puts its number keypad at the forefront. Though it shares many features with other Bluetooth padlocks, Igloohome's alternative is designed with sharing in mind.​

​Back in 2015, Canadian inventor Ryan Bowley successfully crowdfunded his deadbolt Bowley Lock – it was claimed to be virtually pick-proof, yet still affordable. Now, he's back on Kickstarter with a very beefy padlock that incorporates the same proprietary technology.

​Chances are, you probably don't like it when a courier leaves a delivered package just sitting on your doorstep. Well, that's why BoxLock Home was created. It's a padlock that only the courier and yourself (or someone of your choosing) can open.

The Noke padlock has recently started shipping to backers, and although it may not be the first available to consumers, it's possibly the smartest and most secure smartlock on the market. We spent some time with the Noke to lock down its strengths and weaknesses.

Master Lock's new Bluetooth-enabled smart padlocks aim to make forgotten combinations or lost keys a thing of the past. Paired with the Master Lock Vault app, the new line of locks improves security, simplifies sharing and even sends out tamper alerts.​

The first time we heard about a padlock that can be unlocked by Bluetooth instead of a key or combination, it was the Noke by FŪZ Designs. While it won't be shipping until this June, however, the similar Quicklock will begin doing so next week. We recently had the chance to try out a sample unit.

There are already door locks and bicycle U-locks that are activated by Bluetooth, but FŪZ Designs claims that its Noke is the world's first Bluetooth padlock. It forgoes a physical key or combination dial, and instead unlocks when it detects the Bluetooth signal from an approved user's smartphone.

Master Lock has introduced its dialSpeed electronic combination padlock.

The BOLT padlock system allows you to open multiple padlocks using your vehicle's ignition key.

The Hiplok is a bicycle lock that can be worn like a belt while riding.

The Matrix Key System lets you change your locks and render the previous key useless simply by inserting the next key in a series.

The Aegis Padlock Secure Drive features a keypad on the exterior of the drive to restrict access only to those who know the unique PIN.
