    Anyone else see this and think "Hello, this is the lockpicking lawyer and today…" ?

        He's done one. You need to bang the lock enough to compress the battery spring disconnecting the battery a moment and it unlocked as a safety feature.

        • That's an odd safety feature. Does that mean the lock will unlock itself if you leave it long enough and the battery goes flat?

          • @eug: It is to make it y2k compliant

        "Let's do that one more time to show you it wasn't a fluke"

        I love it.

    • It even looks like a toy lock

      Nothing on 1, click on 2, 3 is binding

  • Are these any good? And are they IPxx rated?

    • +3

      They don't even look 4-year-old rated

    There are Bluetooth Tuya / Pin code versions of these on Aliexpress too (for around the same price), allowing to open it using a smartphone app or a pin code combination. The marketing claims they are IP67 but I'd take that with a giant bucket of salt.

      You shouldn't; IP ratings are for fresh water only.
      /s

    • If it is Himalayan rock salt then certainly take that giant bucket.

    • i cant see anywhere stating IP67 in the aldi website, where did you see it?

  • These can be broken so easily, better to have no lock

    • +1

      I mean yeah any lock can be broken, it's just a matter of how much work, time and determination each one requires. This one, very little. But if someone just needs a lock to deter casuals or little kids, might be fine for that.

    This lock looks excellent. I shall use it to secure my family jewels.

      My mate is an emergency department trauma nurse. She'll update me if you don't.

    • Male version of a chastity belt.

  • Should be fine as a school locker lock. Doesn't need something super sturdy.

  • I rekon airport security would smash this with a hammer just for giggles

    • +1

      doubt they'd need a hammer

  • CR2032 battery yuck

      you're not meant to taste them

        At least he is eating the fancy flavoured ones

          When the doctor said you need to take lithium tablets, that's not what the doctor meant. /S

  • 1 2 3 pop bop boom unlocked with another fingerprint lock

  • Found what looks like the same model on Aliexpress for $14.50+gst

    • Shows as $16.49+gst to me. Buying from Aldi is a no-brainer, if there are any problems just bring it back.

      • Agreed, however I put it there in case people miss out due to limited stock etc.
