[Back to School] Masterlock: Protect What’s Yours

By Kenda - July, 29th 2013

The summer is winding down and Back to School is already on every parent’s mind (and most kids). This year your teen may be taking their own cash, electronics and driving license or other ID to school with them. While that means they are more independent and easier for mom and dad to reach while they’re away; it also means more risk of theft. 60 percent of people worry about the security of their belongings while they or their children are at school*

The first line of defense is the school locker. But, I remember being in high school. I rarely used the lock on my locker; instead, leaving it half way open because sometimes I couldn’t remember the combination or I’d be late to class because I messed up three times trying to open it. I’m not the only one: 1 in 4 Americans say their child cannot always remember their combination or struggle to open their lock*

Master Lock offers a new way to protect their property with the 5900D SafeSpace.

The SafeSpace offers the locking security of a safe – on the go.

Product Features:

• Ideal for recreation, campus, office, travel or leisure use.
• Lightweight & Portable. Protects MP3 players, cell phones, cameras, gaming devices, cash, credit cards, jewelry, keys, passports, sunglasses or other small valuables
• Lock Up & Lock Down. Lock up valuables with the cable wrapped tightly to the safe or wrapped securely around a fixed object. Cable doubles as a carrying handle
• Durable Water-Resistant Construction
• Set-Your-Own-Combination for locking convenience
• Ear Bud/Charging Cable Access Port
• Shock absorbing foam lines the interior storage area

While there are obvious benefits of the SafeSpace (combination lock and locking cable to secure it’s location) another bonus is the ability to track more than just your phone. How? If your teen has a GPS tracking service through their provider or a GPS location app – it normally only tracks the phone. However, if you place ID, cash, credit cards and electronics in the SafeSpace WITH your phone – you can track everything according to the location of your phone. Cool, right?
