The Okidokeys Smart-Lock system — which works with a free Okidokeys app available for iOS and Android devices — is easy to install and use. Efficiently manage access to your Okidokeys system: Create a key for your babysitter, define a specific time for the cable guy, and get notified every time your door is locked or unlocked. Users control how long someone has access and how long the key is activated. Access can be revoked at anytime, from anywhere. Various Smart-Tags allows you to lock and unlock doors and go beyond mobile phones. Give wristbands to your kids for after school or a wallet-size card to your neighbor while you’re on vacation. And your metal keys still work, too.

A SMARTER WAY TO ACCESS YOUR HOME

Easily install an OKIDOKEYS Smart-Lock on the interior of any home door with an existing ANSI Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt. No drilling or wiring required.

Once the Smart-Lock is installed, you can lock and unlock your doors by using a Bluetooth 4.0-enabled smartphone, thanks to the free OKIDOKEYS App available for iOS and Android. Select from six opening rules to fit your needs, including the hands-free mode, which unlocks the door automatically when authorized user gets close to it.

Pair the Smart-Lock with the optional wireless OKIDOKEYS Smart-Reader, and you and your guests will enjoy the freedom to lock and unlock doors using a variety of key options: smartphones, cellphones, smart tags and traditional metal keys. You can even keep a credit-card-sized RFID card in your wallet in case your cell phone battery runs out.

Holiday Safety Tips from Master Lock & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Tis the season for online shopping, and with online sales expected to increase 13-15% this holiday season, it’s important to ensure online holiday experiences are safe ones. The holiday season should be fun and festive, and the joy of the season can be lost quickly if people interact with an un-safe website, lose important receipts or blow their budgets .

Master Lock and Mario Armstrong, Digital Lifestyle Expert™ have provided tips and tools to help navigate the holiday safety, securely and with as little stress as possible.

1. Make smart online purchases. The convenience of online holiday shopping can quickly be derailed if you become a victim of identity theft due to sharing your credit card and shipping data with a non-secure site. Before providing any personal or financial information, make sure that you are interacting with a reputable, established company. Check to make sure the website is secure by verifying the address has an “s” in “https://” at the beginning of the URL, that a closed padlock is located in the URL bar, and that if you are entering any personal information, there is a checkmark or padlock image indicating the website is protected by a trusted source. If you’re still worried about using your personal financial accounts for transactions, a pre-paid debit card may be the way to go – just be sure to read the fine print for any fees and terms.

2. Click with caution. Consumers may be bombarded with link-heavy holiday emails this season sending well wishes or advertising hot gift items and sales. However, with more than 9,500 malicious websites detected by Google every day2, consumers are advised to click links with caution to avoid a malware-spreading site. Before clicking, hover over the link first to review the complete URL. Beware of small errors in website addresses such as missing letters, misspellings, a different .com extension or other tweaks to a company’s name. For extra protection, type the address into the web browser directly to ensure you are not being redirected to a fraudulent site from a link.

3. Set and track your budget. Avoid post-holiday regret or debt by setting a realistic budget and tracking your purchases to ensure you adhere to it. A variety of apps and websites can help you with your budget tracking goals, such as Mint.com. For easy access to your private information on the go, store online passwords in the Master Lock Vault smart phone app or website for easy recall. Vault users can store and organize URLs, usernames and passwords in one protected place in a 256-bit SSL data encrypted, firewall protected, 24/7 monitored “safe deposit box.” Simply click on the stored URL for your popular sites for easy access directly from your Vault.
Master Lock Vault users can also use the Vault to access virtual holiday shopping lists, schedule reminders for bill due dates and holiday social events and even store newly received gift cards for easy access for post-holiday shopping.

4. Keep digital receipts. Easily file away receipts from your holiday shopping in one place to cross-reference purchase dates and totals with your bank and credit card billing statements to check for any unfamiliar charges, or to facilitate easy returns after the holidays. A quick and easy way to do this is to take a photo of the receipt immediately and store it in the Master Lock Vault. You can also use the Vault to store photos of gift receipts. If they accidentally get thrown out with the wrapping paper, you can easily re-print them. Check with your local store for specific policies and information.

5. Don’t leave a digital trail to your gift purchases. If you are using a computer that other family members use and don’t want them to see what sites you’ve visited, enable your browser’s private browsing feature when researching and buying gifts. Private browsing (also known as the incognito setting on Google Chrome) allows you to surf the internet without saving any information about which sites you visited or searches you’ve conducted. In some browsers this may be found under the Tools menu; check your browser’s specific settings to learn how to set up private browsing.
