No Key Needed For Secure Shed Lock
Don Wepf developed the Gate Lock a dozen years ago for a safe and convenient way to lock the gate to his backyard with a pool. With its simple installation and a keyless lock easily opened with one hand, it quickly drew the attention of friends and relatives, which led to the electrical contractor marketing his business, Yardlock, full-time. Recently, he added a model to lock up a shed to his product line.
“The Shed Lock latching mechanism is different, more like a screen door,” Wepf explains. He adds that he recognized a need to give people an option besides a padlock. Getting a key out can be inconvenient and very often people have padlocks but don’t close them.
The Shed Lock shares Gate Lock’s features. The zinc diecast body and plastic shell are weatherproof to not freeze or rust. The four-dial combination has 10,000 ways for the owner to set it. Videos online made by one of Wepf’s business partners show how to install the mount plates, feed the cable through a drilled hole and attach the lockbox.
To open the lock, slide down the weather-proof cover, flip the dial to the right code combination to open the door, and pull the cable to lift the latch on the other side. As a bonus, there’s plenty of room to store a spare house key. To lock everything up again, close the shed door, scramble the combination, and slide up the weather-proof cover.
Customers purchase the lock as a safety precaution to keep kids out of sheds that contain gas or chemicals as well as for security to protect valuable equipment.
The Shed Lock and Gate Lock each sell for about $75 online as well as in tool and home improvement stores.
