Daily Deal: The Quicklock
from the good-deals-on-cool-stuff dept
The Quicklock looks like a normal padlock but does not require an extra set of keys or a memorized combination to open it. The lock opens with a tap of an RF/NFC card (2 included in the purchase) or via Bluetooth and an app on your phone. The lock can be programmed to be used by up to 50 different NFC cards or unlimited phone users and will keep track of who used it and when, according to the Quicklock website FAQ. It's available through the Techdirt Deals store for 18% off of retail and includes a choice of blue or black, 2 NFC cards, a key fob and a micro USB charger. Additional NFC cards, key fobs and even a ring (really?) are available as additional purchases through Quicklock's site.An additional discount is available for this lock only through the Techdirt Store. Use the code QUICKLOCK and get it for $45 (25% off).

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: Re:
That's assuming that only the lock's case is zinc, and not the shackle, which on any normal padlock is case-hardened steel. Considering that you could almost bite through a zinc shackle with your teeth, it would be hilarious if anyone was actually dumb enough to design a padlock with a zinc shackle.
Though maybe not so funny for the poor customer who got snookered into buying this lock and thinking it was more than just an ornamental novelty.
