The master lock also allows the main user the flexibility of applying four different combination codes, one main code and three supplementary codes that can be given to other users. The main user has the capability to discard the three guest codes at any time they deem necessary by using the flash drive that comes equipped with the lock. Also, the locks user friendly interface allows for convenient one-handed use, where the user can unlock the lock with one hand without even having to look. All this simplicity allows for users to access their valuables at ease, creating a valuable lock for all your valuables.

By eliminating the need for a key ring or a large lock that becomes an eyesore, this sleek and visually appealing lock allows for a smoother transition in terms of looks for elegant chests or more modern surroundings.


COMPLEXITY:
            The complexity associated with this lock is unparalleled.
