Master Lock Combination Lock Prize Pack Summer Giveaway Eases Back to School Locker Anxiety

July 1, 2014 By Leticia

Master Lock Combination Lock Prize Pack Summer Giveaway Eases Back to School Locker Anxiety

As a member of Master Lock’s Live Secure Safety Squad, I have been compensated for my time in writing this post and receive samples for review.

Even though summer is here, many families are already dealing with some school anxiety in anticipation of the coming year. One source of anxiety for tweens who transition from elementary to middle school is lockers. Troublesome locks on and the short amount of time between classes can make some kids dread having to store their belongings in lockers. This summer take some time to help your soon-to-be middle school student select a lock so they can practice over the summer.

My picks for easy to use locks are the Master Lock Set Your Own Combination Locks. Our elementary aged kids like the Master Lock 1535 D Combination Padlock ($10.40) that features letters to create a customized work as your combination. They also like the directional movements of the 1500iD Speed Dial Combination Lock ($13.39) because it’s fast to unlock a locker using up/down/left/right directional movements than twisting the dial of a traditional combination lock. Both the Master Lock 1535D and 1500iD are favorites because the easy to operate locks hat keep belongings secure.

This summer Master Lock wants to give your family a chance to win easy to use locks that will help keep your belongings secure whether you’re using them at home, school, the gym, or to lock bikes during summer rides.

Enter to win a Master Lock prize pack courtesy of Master Lock!

    The locker I used was built into the wall unit. I recall it being fairly easy to use, but it would occasionally get stuck. These new locks sure look nice!

    it was a chrome and black lock that had a three number code to unlock; it was typical of the time, many years ago 🙂

    We had combination locks issued by the school. It was pretty easy to use.

    My Lock Was Built Into My Locker In School, It Would Always Stick And Was Difficult At Times To Open.

    My school lockers all had simple locks build into the structure. They said each was changed at the start of the school year, but then you would find people who saidd they could open their last year’s locker. I had enough trouble remembering the combination for the current year.

    A combination lock. It was easy once you remembered the combination.

    My locker was the dial combination lock you had to remember the number given and be right on that small little line or it won’t open, but today you can make your own lock combo and that is a huge help not to forget I think it’s snazzy, kinda wish I was in school again lol.

    I used a combo lock while I was in school, it was easy to operate, probably too easy.

    I used a combination lock and liked it. But now I have nightmares of not being able to open it.

    We always used combination locks and it was easy as long as you remembered the code or weren’t in a hurry!

My best advice to parents of college students? Whe My best advice to parents of college students? When they say “you should come” - GO! ✈️

Over the last 4 years it’s been so wonderful to be invited for glimpses of Emily’s life on campus. I’ve been welcomed by her amazing friends who have become part of our family, met the professors, faculty & staff she talks so fondly of, and gotten to know fellow parents through trips to Family Weekend all while enjoying time with my best girl. 💕

Today I’m heading home as a proud mom with a full heart for all that I’ve experienced on campus during her college years and am in disbelief I’ll be back for graduation next week. 🥹

The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has fin The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has finally come to an end but what we accomplished was pure CubeSat Joy!! 🛰️

I continue to be in awe that we put something in space that existed up there for 5 months. 🥰 Our CubeSat took photos 📸 and tweeted 🐦‍⬛them out as we hoped it would thanks to the many students (and parents!) who have been involved in our meaningful real-world hands-on STEM project that enabled them to learn about technology and space over the past 11 years.

I found some old notes from a 2015 meeting and under Questions, I wrote: “If we are successful, would we do this again?” 

And the answer is yes! 🎉 Here’s to SilverSat 2.0 and involving more kids to dream up a new mission for our next Silver Spring CubeSat! 💕

Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over the weekend and is adding new race bling to their collection! 🎉 I did a thing this weekend too but it didn’t involve another race! 😂Here’s the before, swipe ⬅️ for the after!

Inspired by seeing @allytbrett_runs ’s race medals, I did a little medal reorg that makes my OCD self happy. 🙌🏼Pro tip- Instead of sliding the bar of the medal rack through the ribbon, I looped the ribbon around the bar so all the medals face forward! This small thing made a huge difference and makes me happy every time I walk into my office!💕

My next race is the 25th anniversary @stjude Memphis Marathon Weekend on December 5th. I’m thinking this anniversary year medal will be the start of a new medal rack, just like my 15th anniversary medal started this collection.🫶🏼

If you want to run Memphis with me, race registration is open! Comment Memphis and I’ll DM you the registration link and happy to answer any and all race ❓s!

Here’s to the most amazing coaches, fellow members becoming friends outside the studio, planning my work schedule around workouts, showing up for class on days I’d rather not just to avoid paying the cancellation fee (IYKYK), and continuing to count classes because I’m coming for you 1000! 💪🏼

THANK YOU! Already excited for our studio to @runrocknroll DC next year!

Race medals are great but charity bling is better! Race medals are great but charity bling is better! 🏅When I first started running for @stjude 10 years ago, I thought I’d be one and done but here I am- 15 races later and having raised almost $50,000! 🎉

The goal has always been to help end childhood cancer and I feel so fortunate to have met the most amazing people along the way. My fellow @stjudedc Hero Ambassadors are a group of dedicated baddies who I adore. 🥰 

We cheer for each other on and off the course and as my friend & fellow DC Hero Ambassador @jess_santora says, “My goal was never just to reach the finish line- it was to help more people get there too.” 🏃🏻‍♀️

Here’s to more races, more money raised for St. Jude, and forever friendships! Already excited (and fundraising) for St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend this December. ✨Fundraising link in bio and donations of any amount are appreciated to help me reach my $4,000 goal! 🙏🏼

I am so proud of each and every one of us and especially incredibly grateful that OTFSS members said yes to running today! 🥰 

We fundraised, trained, and ran to give families hope that their kids will survive childhood cancer and to support researchers as they work towards a cure for childhood cancer and other life threatening diseases. 💕

As a mom of 2, I know no parent should ever have to hear “your child has cancer” so thank you Team OTFSS for supporting St. Jude’s mission by running the streets of DC! We did it and I’m already looking forward to next year’s RNR DC race so we can do it again!🧡🧡🧡
