@mtb002 If it won’t wake up and you can’t use your phone to open it, apparently you need lock cutters - see the negative reviews. It also appears to fail quickly when used outside.
@sammydog01 you use one of the 23 battery packs you bought at meh.com and plug it into the usb port that is at the bottom, just sitting there behind a little flap of plastic, for anyone to access. and charge it back up!
I would totally buy it for $10. That’s my price point for impulse buys. At $30 I have to think about it for a minute. And a minute is long enough to realize I really don’t need this.
What I want to know is who the heck would pay $70 for it? It’s not even the full size one.
@mydrivec perhaps you would like one of the many portable usb chargers meh offers? perhaps you would like to listen to some hot chart toppers with a portable bluetooth light bulb while it charges?? It’s all about the meta-game when you’re selling bulk!
@Stallion dammit- I can’t find the link, but the japanese have a bluetooth toilet paper holder that tells you when the roll is empty… if you need one- you probably wear slip-on shoes. a lot.
Isn’t anyone paying attention? “Zinc alloy body” That is junk. They use call that pot metal. It’s brittle and soft. You don’t need a bolt cutter to break it, just hit it with a rock. A shoestring tied in a really good knot would be harder to open.
I love the bad amazon reviews that complain you have to go to the lock to unlock it. Ok. What would you do after unlocking it without having to push the button? You would still have to go take it off the latch it’s on!!
Concern of the security of the BT version it uses seems valid though.
So, I was looking at that price like damn that’s high. Then I noticed its Amazon price, apparently straight from the manufacturer no less- $70. Double fuck that. I also looked over their description 'n whatnot, looking for some answers to some questions I had and… what is it with little, or even big, companies who seem incapable of throwing a couple bucks towards a proofreader to make sure they don’t come off like a joke in the shit they present to the public?
The one thing I like about the locks is that you can open more than one with the same app.
I just recently bought 6 basic locks at the dollar store to lock up some things in my house. So now I have 6 little keys to go with those locks and I had to number them all to keep track of them.
But it’s still not worth $30 for one lock when it’s probably not any stronger than the dollar store lock for $1, based on some of the comments.
@narfcake They’re actually pretty good locks! They’re small but heavy and they all use different keys. (It would probably make my life easier if they were the same.)
i can see it now… i’m out & about, i go to open this lock at the gym. i forgot to charge my phone, it’s down to 1%, phone keeps shutting down, have to get battery pack from car. after finally finding battery pack accidently leave car keys & phone in car. wouldn’t you know it, the battery pack needs charging too. now, my keys & dead phone are in the car, my spare car key is locked in gym locker & all i have in hand is a dead battery pack… but… all’s not lost, hacker dojo is just around the corner… phew, now there are some nice people… took them less than a minute to open it up. so glad i have a bluetooth lock.
wow. This may be the lamest thing that Meh has ever had. As an aside, if you missed the two knives for $6.00 the other night you can still get them on the sister site Morningsave for $12.00 each.
You should send me one or two of these just for free for the fact that I don’t want to be the guy who doesn’t need a key to UNLIKE his bike or his gym locker either. I am the grammer control police. I hereby repudiate this here unlike comment hitherto for mentioned.
Then I realized I didn’t need it… the only place I use a padlock is on my shed, and I have one of those directional combo locks on it (up down left right) that I can do the combination one handed in about 2 seconds without even looking at it. So it would be way more inconvenient to pull out my phone, launch an app, etc.
@tsfisch He says “Don’t trust locks that pretend to be smart.”, but I think most of us do. For added protection, you can always stop over at ebay and pick up a sticker…http://imgur.com/a/v5J2N
(These stickers used to be like a quarter at Radio Shack, now they’re practically the cost of a security system. ) Bluetooth lock–in my book, very cool!
Perused the Amazon reviews. I found the following facts.
Batteries should last a long time - 2 years or 3000 unlocks.
To unlock it, you need to push a button on the lock, then use an app on your phone. This is the deal breaker for me. I wanted to be able to walk up to the lock at the gym, and have it unlocked. (And, unless the company publishes the protocol they use, you are dependent on the company to maintain the app.)
It is easily shimmed (see above as well).
Someone claims the security baked into the bluetooth protocol they use is flawed, and you really want a lock that uses the subsequent version of bluetooth. (I think shimming, brute force, or a pair of bolt cutters are a lot more likely method of opening this lock.)
Truth is, you won’t buy this after sober analysis of the relative merits of key locks vs. Bluetooth locks. You’ll buy it because it exists, because somebody made it and it sounds cool.
Drunk or sober, 30 bucks is real money, not “it sounds cool” money.
Kewl is the 1w speaker 2fer 6 bucks , i have very little use for padlocks period like someone saying try this ice cream its 30 dollars a pint but its a new flavor…like everything else when they drop to ten bucks i’ll buy one , Like a previous poster said “Just to have one” But i must say ty Meh for the new product introduced duly noted !!
@rustyh3 There are some bike locks where you just walk up the the lock with your phone in your pocket and it unlocks (you push a button on the lock to actually unlatch it). That would be pretty convenient. Launching an app, etc… not so much.
Did anyone else ever go to one of those lock and key parties. The girls would get a lock. The guys qould get a random key. The idea was to go around and meet people and see if you could open the lock with your key. It was supposed to facilitate meeting and flirting.
@CaptAmehrican A while ago I read something about an organic vegetable farm having “weeding parties”, where random single people got paired up to weed rows of plants. It sounded kind of interesting; quiet, good opportunity for conversation, and supposedly you could learn something about people’s personalities and approach to life by how thoroughly they pulled their weeds.
So, this is kind of useless for those of us that don’t carry cell phones. I wish Meh would stop selling so many bluetooth devices and sell more useful things instead.
I want to want this. . I really want to buy something… I’m in a shopping mood… And yet… I could have sworn when I first looked at this it said $18 - now $30? How about take 18 from 30…$12… Or 3 goes into both… So 6 or 10…subtract the smaller from the larger… 4… Which goes into 12 3 times… 3 shows up twice… 2 times 2 is 6… Where was I going. Maybe I should buy a calculator instead. Or sleep. Sleep is cheaper and more useful than either a padlock or a calculator. Plus I have a calculator on my phone. Why is MEH selling calculators? Back to bed!
There are applications for good Bluetooth locks, and even a few situations where this lock would be adequate. All of the applications involve the lock owner sending temporary keys to someone far away.
You could use good Bluetooth locks (not these) on remote gates for those organizations with lots of gates and lots of workers, particularly outside contractors. For example a company that manages cell phone towers out in the country. Surprise issues come up. For example, if vermin move in, the management company will have to allow the exterminator in to get rid of the rodents or marmots, then carpenters will need to fix structural damage, and landscapers will have to fill in the holes.
There will be no need to send out someone to meet each of the workers.
These locks aren’t reliable enough for that, particularly for outdoor applications. So for those sorts of things the companies will spend a lot more than $70 each installing hardwired remote control locks.
These locks make sense in a widespread corporate setting where janitorial supplies disappear when not locked up, (a sign that management mistreats employees), but sometimes there are cleaning emergencies so bad that management authorizes access to the sacred cleaning supplies. In those situations, management can just send a temporary key to the employee working at that location. When the lock fails, then the employee can use the emergency bolt cutters and install another $70 lock.
I have heard of paranoid managers that spend a lot more money keeping their employees from doing things, that well treated employees would never do. Even if I knew of a mean spirited paranoid manager that would want these, I wouldn’t tell them about this “deal”.
@hamjudo It could be useful for people that do vacation rentals. When I rent vacation houses (half the price of hotels) I have variously had people mail me keys, have someone meet me with keys, have keys in a coded lockbox and email me the code.
Looks like rubber crap. I bought a keyhole-less all-hardened-steel mag-lock in Japan. It uses a special magnetic key, a series of tiny magnets welded together seamlessly, that you hold against a groove in the side of the lock. Sturdy as hell, and cannot be picked, ever. That was in 1970, and it still works fine. So, no thanks on the rubbery Blue-doofus thingy.
This one is great Meh! I can use the bluetooth lock to lock-up the shed so that when an intruder comes into my house he can get in! So that means that I will not need the cameras I decided not to buy the other day don’t give me the opportunity to see somebody break in to my house, steal my stuff, make a sandwich, take a dump on my Trump Gold plated toilet, make some microwavable popcorn, take s nap, eat my kids porridge, sit on my recliner, mess up my beds, make some quesadillas, smoke my Cuban cigars, take my chihuahua for a walk, watch the fake news about that crazy president that was elected on CNN, take a shower, have some Makers Mark on ice, give them self an enema, go crap all over the Trump toilet again, back up the toilet, play mine craft on my Xbox, do the laundry, mop the kitchen, pick up my dogs shit, fold the laundry, make phone call calls to Eastern Europe, order pizza, order a mail order bride from Russia, take selfies imitating Trumps “Your Fired” line, cook dinner, eat the 20 cases of Girl Scouts cookies my daughter has to sell, clean out my garage, and do the dishes. Seriously considered getting this lock, Meh!
I’d rather have an NFC padlock. I don’t want to have to take out my phone, open an app, and activate it in order to lock/unlock. However, if I could just hold my phone up to the side to unlock it, that would be more useful to me.
MEH stuck me with a bad lock I purchased from them. Instead of supporting the purchase they send me off to the manufacturer which is in another country. Piss poor service!

Locking up the deal tonight --does it have a speaker dock too ?
@AttyVette you’re almost making me cry… I miss the speaker docks…
I WANT PURPLE TOOTH!!!
@yakkoTDI just bleed on your blue tooth…
@Thumperchick what if @yakkoTDI is Vulcan or Romulan? Wouldn’t make purpletooth then…
this is kinda neat, but still not worth having a phone for.
Ummmmm… but what if I want to lock my phone in the locker with this lock?
@haydesigner It’ll work just fine for that. Getting your phone back, on the other hand…
Alternate smart-ass response: I’m sure your phone and the lock will get along just fine inside the locker together.
@haydesigner is there an Apple Watch app for that?
Will it work with a Mac?
@jsh139 No no no! It’s “Will it work with Windows?” now. After all, it’s WP with the 0.3% market share.
@narfcake this will work quite well with windows if thrown hard enough at them.
What happens when the battery dies?
@mtb002 you’ll need an extension cord. Or maybe a battery pack.
@mtb002 well, it’s made of cast zinc- basically pot metal. hit it with a rock.
@mtb002 If it won’t wake up and you can’t use your phone to open it, apparently you need lock cutters - see the negative reviews. It also appears to fail quickly when used outside.
So if the lock battery runs out you can’t unlock it?
@sammydog01 it does plug in so no. You’ll need to get creative. Things like extension cords or battery packs.
@sammydog01 you use one of the 23 battery packs you bought at meh.com and plug it into the usb port that is at the bottom, just sitting there behind a little flap of plastic, for anyone to access.
and charge it back up!
@thismyusername only 23? Someone’s slacking off…
@sohmageek I have almost that many in the propeller version alone.
@jml326 You could probably plug it into your phone for power.
@thismyusername @sohmageek It would have to be an even number, or are you not buying them on Two for Tuesday?
@moondrake Haha. They’re not suckering me in for more. Hopefully.
Yeah not for $30. Maybe for $10.
/giphy cheapskate
@intenseNERD mehbe $5
I would totally buy it for $10. That’s my price point for impulse buys. At $30 I have to think about it for a minute. And a minute is long enough to realize I really don’t need this.
What I want to know is who the heck would pay $70 for it? It’s not even the full size one.
@christinerenee They call this the mini, but there is a “travel” one on the Amazon link that is even smaller (luggage lock).
@kungfuqua Is the travel one a TSA lock? Because if not it’s no use for luggage.
You totally forgot “Lock and Key” by RUSH. Failure is unacceptable.
@morrdt Came to add this myself. Best. Band. Ever.
Has science gone too far?
So let’s face it, this thing is just stupid. Period.
@Sevylor7 That’s sorta the whole reason Meh exists though, ya?
Where’s the speaker on this?
When will i be able to carry a phone but not a key?
@PantHeist Now! The real question is when are you going to actually spend the money to do it?
I don’t understand this. There’s no backup key, right? So what do you do if the battery dies?
@kevinsearle plug it in…
@jml326 And wait…so now I have to find a usb charger that is near whatever I locked up sits? Thanks, no.
@mydrivec perhaps you would like one of the many portable usb chargers meh offers? perhaps you would like to listen to some hot chart toppers with a portable bluetooth light bulb while it charges?? It’s all about the meta-game when you’re selling bulk!
@mydrivec hey im not selling them just providing logical answers.
Just when I thought Bluetooth couldnt be added to anything else…
@Bayamonprieto77 We need to invent a bluetooth pet rock.
@Tadlem43 Im game. Only problem is the dialogue and to whom it will be conversing with, besides us!
@Bayamonprieto77 lol People will buy anything that says ‘bluetooth’ on it. Of course, the deluxe model will have to have a place to hide a key. lol
There has to be some kind of physical backup key for when it inevitably refuses to pair with your phone for no damn reason, right? Right??
@currawong
/image bolt cutters
@narfcake Can I get the Bluetooth version of those?
@El_Oel Mehbe?
/image Bluetooth bolt cutters
@narfcake Great!
Now if I only had some way to secure them…
@currawong
I was all keyed up for tonight’s deal, and then I see this.
meh
Great to have on a cupboard which contains food during a blackout/the upcoming zombie apocalypse. Then nobody can steal from the stash.
This is cool, but is it $30 cool? Especially considering I wouldn’t dare to actually use it for anything important.
Just when I thought all this smart phone technology was just a bunch of crap, MEH proves me right!
Wow this may be one of the most ridiculous uses of Bluetooth I’ve ever seen.
@Stallion dammit- I can’t find the link, but the japanese have a bluetooth toilet paper holder that tells you when the roll is empty… if you need one- you probably wear slip-on shoes. a lot.
@alacrity I found this TP holder …
@narfcake you have got to be shatting me.
@narfcake this made me laugh so hard I peed a little. If only I hat a portable tp unit that was full… Alas…
@narfcake http://sneakhype.com/more/technology/2014/08/rollscout-smart-toilet-paper-holder-notifies-running-low.html
I found this review (which compares this one with a Master one).
I’m kinda feeling rather meh on this deal.
Bolt cutters? Just tazer the sucker in the charging port.
Isn’t anyone paying attention? “Zinc alloy body” That is junk. They use call that pot metal. It’s brittle and soft. You don’t need a bolt cutter to break it, just hit it with a rock. A shoestring tied in a really good knot would be harder to open.
@gadellr You might be new here.
We’re no so into those “facts” based comments 'round here.
@gadellr I’m pretty sure the entire purpose of this thing is to go “hey look at this” and then put it in a drawer.
@gadellr Thanks for the warning. “Zinc alloy body” didn’t mean anything to me, but from now I know better.
@gadellr It has “Hardened” etched on the hook! So there…
@gadellr
Or “an honest person without a cellphone”. Or something.
@stinks is this about chastity belts?
@gadellr Yep - zamak 3 is 96% zinc, 4% aluminum.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamak#Zamak_3
@gadellr It’s also what Hot Wheels are made out of. And I’ve got an original 60’s Hot Wheels truck that has spontaneously decomposed.
Lock and load, …
this is absolutely useless for margaritas.
First!
@wootthereitis
But does it have an embedded speaker?? I mean, if its bluetooth, its gotta have a speaker, right?
@eeterrific And it should light up, too.
Does it use a locking pawl or ball bearings? A spring-loaded pawl is super easy to shim open.
@j8048188 Reviews say spring loaded
@j8048188 you might be splitting hairs on this.

@narfcake They’re actually pretty good locks! They’re small but heavy and they all use different keys. (It would probably make my life easier if they were the same.)
@christinerenee It’s a bit of work, but you can set all of your locks to use the same key:
@gregormehndel I would much rather have 6 keys than have to go through all of this 5 times to get a less secure lock.
@christinerenee Why didn’t you just buy 6 adjustable combination locks? You could have set them all to the same combo and had no keys at all.
@cinoclav Those won’t be $1 each.
@cinoclav Because I clearly didn’t think it through in advance…
i can see it now… i’m out & about, i go to open this lock at the gym. i forgot to charge my phone, it’s down to 1%, phone keeps shutting down, have to get battery pack from car. after finally finding battery pack accidently leave car keys & phone in car. wouldn’t you know it, the battery pack needs charging too. now, my keys & dead phone are in the car, my spare car key is locked in gym locker & all i have in hand is a dead battery pack… but… all’s not lost, hacker dojo is just around the corner… phew, now there are some nice people… took them less than a minute to open it up. so glad i have a bluetooth lock.
@mehod You totally get it!
@mehod LOL, good point. That would be me!
my guess is he did not get it.
meh!
wow. This may be the lamest thing that Meh has ever had. As an aside, if you missed the two knives for $6.00 the other night you can still get them on the sister site Morningsave for $12.00 each.
You should send me one or two of these just for free for the fact that I don’t want to be the guy who doesn’t need a key to UNLIKE his bike or his gym locker either. I am the grammer control police. I hereby repudiate this here unlike comment hitherto for mentioned.
I saw it too and just wanted there to be a warning, a record. But ehat the hell… full on ticket for the infraction.
@equable1 who fives a shir about grammer
The inner geek in me wants it.
Then I realized I didn’t need it… the only place I use a padlock is on my shed, and I have one of those directional combo locks on it (up down left right) that I can do the combination one handed in about 2 seconds without even looking at it.

@rustyh3 There are some bike locks where you just walk up the the lock with your phone in your pocket and it unlocks (you push a button on the lock to actually unlatch it). That would be pretty convenient. Launching an app, etc… not so much.
Whoa, something new on meh?. Kudos.
@Crood a bag of 1,000 refurbed cotton balls, 2 for $6 would also be “new” here.

@CaptAmehrican So, if your key opens her lock, do you get to keep her?
@CaptAmehrican A while ago I read something about an organic vegetable farm having “weeding parties”, where random single people got paired up to weed rows of plants. It sounded kind of interesting; quiet, good opportunity for conversation, and supposedly you could learn something about people’s personalities and approach to life by how thoroughly they pulled their weeds.
@Steve7654 usually you could go up to the bar and show the bartender and you would each get a free drink.
@Steve7654 In this context “how thoroughly they pulled their weeds” sounds naughty
So, this is kind of useless for those of us that don’t carry cell phones. I wish Meh would stop selling so many bluetooth devices and sell more useful things instead.
@Steve7654 Yeah, like 8-track tape supplies.
Fewer playlists, more Holmes dialogs, please.

@hamjudo you’ve been giving this a lot of thought. Thank you.
@RedOak i.e. tl;dr
@hamjudo I don’t think the average contractor is going to be cool with downloading an app, then setting up an account, then accepting your “key”.
@hamjudo With all due respect, I suggest that you get a hobby.
@hamjudo It could be useful for people that do vacation rentals. When I rent vacation houses (half the price of hotels) I have variously had people mail me keys, have someone meet me with keys, have keys in a coded lockbox and email me the code.
Ah, this is reassuring!
Bundle this with a pocket knife and a speaker dock for the ultimate meh.
Looks like rubber crap. I bought a keyhole-less all-hardened-steel mag-lock in Japan.

@narfcake Hope I didnt take any valuable time out of your day
I’d rather have an NFC padlock. I don’t want to have to take out my phone, open an app, and activate it in order to lock/unlock. However, if I could just hold my phone up to the side to unlock it, that would be more useful to me.
Just got mine. Anybody know what the long black button on the bottom does? The manuals have didly to say on this thing! Thanks in advance!
@Bukaroo Is it the self destruct button?
/giphy the curious case of @Bukaroo’s button
@Bukaroo It’s not the flap for the USB port?
@narfcake Ya, know what? I’m feeling kinda special. It is the button under the rubber flap.

@Bukaroo I think it is to wake up the lock when it goes into power saver mode (you can set this in the app).
It’s failed. Can’t unlock it after charging with a battery pack. What now???
