No. 0108 tech · Smart Locks

You have probably never had a padlock that recognizes you. This one has a fingerprint sensor built into its face: touch it and, per the listing, it identifies you and unlocks in about 0.2 seconds, so there is no key to lose and no combination to forget. It stores up to 20 fingerprints, and through the eSmartLock app over Bluetooth you can add or delete them, check the unlock history, and share unlock permission with family and friends. The listing also lists unlocking from an Apple Watch, so it opens three ways: fingerprint, phone app, or watch. Until the first fingerprint is registered the lock is in an experience mode where any fingerprint opens it, so register yours first. It carries an IP67 waterproof rating, has a built-in rechargeable battery that charges over USB-C with a battery indicator, and measures about 3 x 1.7 x 0.7 inches, with an alloy steel and zinc alloy body and a hardened steel shackle. Sold in Black and pitched for gym lockers, gates, sheds, and storage units.
