Compact Pocket Locks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Security Loop Protects Various Possessions with a Cable and an Alarm

— May 9, 2013 — Tech
As practical as they are, padlocks are rather restrictive locking solutions, making it difficult to safeguard many of your treasured belongings. The Security Loop is a clever solution that opens up to more potential uses with an extendable cable that can wind around and through objects of assorted shapes.

The Quirky-made product is about the size of a computer mouse, so it's nice and portable. The small blue ring that protrudes from one side of the gadget invites you to pull out the wire. Draw it as far as necessary, wrap it around luggage handles or even your bicycle and then insert the jack into the cable locking port. A three-digit combination lock will release the Security Loop, and if anyone attempts to snip it, the device will sound an alarm.
