Master Lock Sweepstakes & A Giveaway You Don't Want To Miss!

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

The new school year is just around the corner. Have you got all the necessary supplies for your kid, including a lock that can reliably safeguard her property or even privacy? Whether or not, you're highly recommended to check out Speed Dial™ & Precision Dial, the newest offerings from Master Lock, the time-honored brand for padlocks and security products.

The revolutionary Speed Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Locks (left picture) feature a first-of-its-kind design that opens on directional movements – up, down, left and right – instead of a standard rotary dial. Those who are more comfortable with a traditional rotary dial padlock may go with the Precision Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Locks (right), which offer a new resettable combination feature in a familiar format. Both new locks are available in various bright colors with stylish designs. I have a feeling that someone may desire the lock more than what's locked inside, haha. I will let you know about my experience with these locks once I get the chance to try them.



To help students survive the school year secure and in style, Master Lock has launched a fun online video series known as The Secret Combination to Surviving Teen Years and a watch & win sweepstakes filled with fabulous prizes.

The sweepstakes has two parts: Daily Video Sweepstakes and the Grand Prize Drawing. Each weekday between August 2 and August 13, a new Master Lock video is released containing a "letter of the day" toward the end. To enter, you need to watch the video and fill out the entry form with the CORRECT letter of the day. One winner in each of the 10 daily drawings receives the ultimate back-to-school accessory package: an 8 GB iPod touch®, a Master Lock 1500iD Speed Dial™ and a Master Lock 1590D Precision Dial. Four additional winners receive a Speed Dial or a Precision Dial. A total of 50 winners will be chosen during phase one.

From August 13 to August 29, you may enter the Grand Prize Drawing by piecing together the master combination, i.e. ten “letters of the day” from the videos in correct order to form a phrase that answers the question posted on the sweepstakes website. All correct entries will be entered to win the Grand Prize of a 32GB Wi-Fi 3G iPad, $600 AT&T Gift Card good for a two-year data plan, iPad Case, iPad dock, iPad® dock connector to VGA adapter, AppleCare® Protection Plan, a Master Lock® Speed Dial™ Lock and a Master Lock® Precision Dial Lock. Whoohoo! I want to win!!!

Don't worry if you missed the previous episodes in the series. All videos are available on the Master Lock Youtube channel. For more information, please read the official rules.
