Did you know?

Public schools in WA, Tasmania, Victoria and selected schools in NSW are banning their students from using mobile phones during the school day? From the first bell of the day through to the last bell. This means that students will need to store all their electronic devices in their school locker. Find out more about the ban and how you can protect those expensive gadgets.

Smart padlocks

Smart technology seems to be in just about anything and everything these days. So why not look at upgrading your padlock to a smart padlock? All you have to do is download the relevant app to your smartphone and you can begin to unlock away! By using the app you can check up on the activity history and even grant access (and revoke access) to someone else if you need to, from anywhere in the world. You can now forget having to fiddle around with any type of combination padlocks!

Circular combination padlocks

These are certainly the go-to padlock for most educational institutions. They are quick to open, using a sequence of either 3 or 4 digits. When closing, these padlocks require just a scramble of the numbers and it is locked. The dials of the circular combination padlocks are available in a variety of colours. The entire padlock also contains corrosion protection, making them perfect for any environment.

4 Digit combination padlocks

If the circular combination padlock is just too fiddly and annoying to open, the 4 digit combination padlocks are the next best option. They are made all the more convenient, with the visual display of each digit. The 4 digit combination padlocks are just as tough as the circular combination ones. Best practice when locking this one is to make sure you turn all 4 digits to a completely random number such as 0-0-0-0. Tip: don't lock it by turning only a single digit wheel.
