Since
the break-in, I've been exceptionally diligent about locking our doors. Something I was never worried about before, but unfourtunately, after such an intense event, I now keep our house locked up 24/7. It's not ideal, but it
does make me feel safer.
Our front door and back door lock up just fine, but shortly after the incident, I starting thinking about the
gate to our backyard. I knew I wanted to keep
something on it, at least at night, to prevent someone from sneaking into our yard.
Cue the fine folks at
Wordlock, who recently sent me one of their really neat padlocks to try out. Our gate closes with a simple latch, which has a small hole at the bottom -- a perfect fit for my new padlock, and a perfect way to me to sleep a little better at night.
As you can see, Wordlock locks are number-free -- which, if you're anything like me, is a bit of a relief. My bank pin is just about the only numbered password that I need to have stuck in my brain. I'd much rather think up a fun word for my fancy new lock.
There's a HUGE collection of words that can be spelled out with this lock, many which are featured in the packaging, so that you can choose and change your keyword (quite simply). And, since you're probably all wondering, it's pretty hard to find any inappropriate combinations. (Yes, I tired.)
According to their website, these spiffy little
Wordlocks are weatherproof, can withstand 3000lbs of pull strength and are made with a maximum security hardened steel shackle. Essentially, I don't think I could break this if I tried. Which is a pretty comforting fact!
I'm feeling quite content with this baby hanging on our back gate. Begone, creepy robbers!

If you're in the market for a lock (for your gym locker, kids' lockers at school, luggage... you name it) you should definitely check out their website. The lock I was sent goes for less than $10 and is available in four different colours.
