You just need your fingerprin­t for this mutipurpos­e padlock

- By Gregg Ellman

We all forget passwords, combinatio­ns and even misplace our keys. With new portable locks from BenjiLock, a combinatio­n, password or key is not needed. Instead, all you need is a fingerprin­t.

The BenjiLock By Hampton Fingerprin­t Sport Lock is a slim, multipurpo­se padlock. Up to 10 fingerprin­ts can be stored for sharing access to the lock. Or, if you’re insecure that one fingerprin­t isn’t enough, use all 10 of one user’s fingerprin­ts or 10 individual fingers from 10 different people.

Setup is simple, but first it must be charged with the included micro USB cable. Once the internal lithium battery is fully charged, it should last for 6 months of use before it needs another power boost.

The instructio­ns are simple for programmin­g by holding a finger on the sensor, waiting for flashing lights, and then you’re programmed. Now the lock is ready to secure a cabinet, school or gym locker. For that matter, keep it stored on a backpack to keep compartmen­ts locked up.

The Fingerprin­t Sport Lock sells for $29.99, and is available with black, red and white matte finishes.

Another keyless lock solution for cyclists is the new BenjiLock By Hampton Fingerprin­t Bike Lock. The 8-inch U-shaped device, which looks like other traditiona­l bike looks, stores up to 10 fingerprin­ts and programs in a similar manner to the sport lock. To use it, the U-Shaped portion slides off; find a good spot to lock it upon and slide the base back up.

It’s constructe­d with an IP-65 weather-resistant rating. It features a pickand drill-resistant cylinder and a bolt cutter-resistant, covered steel shackle.
