As I have been saying here for some time, keys are SO last century. I changed out my front door lock to a locking keypad system and have delighted ever since in its ease of use in change and adding codes, to the “auto-lock” feature that locks the door after a few minutes.

But today I found one great for the average padlock. Ambient weather sells an infrared remote controlled padlock (with optional key as a back-up.) They comes in a range of modern colors and at $19.95, the price is certainly right:

–4 billion rolling security codes
–Metal casing
–Hardened steel shackle
–Low battery indicator
–Padlock powered by 2 AAA batteries (not included)
–Remote control powered by 1 lithium CR2032 coin cell battery
–Utilizes infrared technology
