Make Moving More Secure with the Master Lock 4401DLH Outdoor Bluetooth Padlock and More! #LSSS

May 10, 2016 by Kathryn 15 Comments

Last summer, I made one of the biggest changes of my life by selling the house in which I was raised and moving out of the small town in Saskatchewan that was my home for my entire life. My two boys and I moved to the city of Moose Jaw and now live with my fiancé in a cute two-bedroom townhouse. But even now, we’re in a transitional phase, with a move to either Thunder Bay or Saskatoon planned for the fall.

And that means that once again, I’ll be making plans to pack up everything I own and transfer it to a new house. Since this will be our “forever house,” I can’t wait to make that move. But I know that it will also be a lot of work! And there’s no better time to prepare for the big event than May, which is also National Moving Month!

Master Lock has always been my first choice for products that keep my house secure, and the company has just as many great choices for keeping items safe during a move as well. From cargo nets for secure transportation to padlocks for securing valuables, I have more peace of mind during a move knowing that I’ve got Master Lock on my side! [Read more…]

Say Goodbye to Remembering Combinations with the Master Lock 4400 Bluetooth Padlock #LSSS

December 7, 2015 by Kathryn 11 Comments

One of the reasons I’m such a big fan of Master Lock is because the company is constantly innovating. From the Master Lock Vault, a secure online storage system for my most crucial digital information, to the dialSpeed Digital Padlock, a lock with a master combination I can access online if I forget my own, Master Lock makes it easy to keep all my most important things safe and secure.

Now, Master Lock has introduced its most advanced padlock yet…the new Master Lock Bluetooth Smart Padlocks! Opening a lock has never been easier thanks to Bluetooth technology. I recently received the 4400D padlock to review and I couldn’t wait to test it out.

Heading Back to School with Master Lock #LSSS

August 1, 2014 by Kathryn 1 Comment

With July over, my mind can’t help but turn towards thoughts of the upcoming school year. And with my youngest son starting Kindergarten this year, it’s going to be a big change having both boys in school come September! I can’t help but remember Zackary’s first day of school so many years ago and the thought that Benjamin will now be having that same experience leaves me feeling a little overwhelmed.

I also often find that preparing for back to school season has me reminiscing about my own school years. I was bright but notoriously disorganized and in high school, I forgot the combination to my locker more times than I can count. In fact, I once even managed to somehow lose the backup copy of my combination that was kept in the office! [Read more…]

Master Lock Magnum Padlocks and Python Cable Lock Help Protect Your Family’s Belongings for National Safety Month

June 5, 2013 by Kathryn 2 Comments

June is National Safety Month and when it comes to keeping your family’s favourite possessions safe, Master Lock has a huge range of products to help! This month, as a member of the Master Lock Live Secure Safety Squad, I had the chance to review a few new Master Lock products perfect for any family.

I received two Master Lock Magnum padlocks and the Master Lock Python cable lock to review. I tested out the M115XDLF padlock first. The Magnum padlocks are designed to be the absolute toughest padlocks available and exceed professional grade standards for outdoor applications. This weather resistant padlock was no exception. I decided to use it to secure our back garage door since it doesn’t have a locking knob. The lock was the perfect choice since it has moisture seals and a covered keyway for maximum weather protection as well as a Rust-Oleum no-rust guarantee.

Fall Family Safety Tips with Master Lock

September 5, 2012 by Kathryn 10 Comments

Now that summer is over, it’s time to settle down, get organized and prepare for the routine of work and school that autumn always brings. But it’s also time to check my home to make sure that my family is safe and secure as the weather begins to cool. This month my job as a member of the Master Lock Live Secure Safety Squad was to discuss fall family safety, so I decided to share a bit about how I prepare for cold weather each year. Here are my top three fall safety tasks:

1) Test carbon monoxide and smoke detectors:

Smoke detectors should have their batteries replaced yearly and carbon monoxide detectors usually need new batteries twice a year, so autumn is an ideal time to make sure that these important devices are working properly and replace the batteries if necessary. I like to do this in the fall because I can test devices when the boys are at school. They are not a fan of loud noises! [Read more…]
