The Master Lock Company

In 2024, an estimated 98.46 million Americans embarked on international journeys, with popular destinations including Mexico, Canada, and the U.K. As international mobility accelerates, so does operational risk. Recent studies show that 1 in 20 checked bags is lost or stolen globally, translating to approximately 1.8 million mishandled bags each year. For airlines, airport authorities, and travel infrastructure providers, these trends underscore the need for integrated, TSA-compliant security solutions that reduce risk across the baggage handling ecosystem. At Master Lock, we support the travel industry's evolving demands with high-integrity, TSA-approved locking mechanisms designed for compatibility, compliance, and operational efficiency. https://lnkd.in/e4bZXia6 https://lnkd.in/eFibj2SY

A recent Pew Research Center survey indicates that 41% of U.S. workers with jobs that can be done remotely are now working a hybrid schedule, dividing their time between home and the office. This shift underscores the growing importance of implementing secure, autonomous access solutions—from lockers and storage cabinets to remote gate controls. As hybrid work becomes more common, physical security systems that operate with minimal on-site oversight—while still offering secure and efficient access for employees—are playing a more vital role than ever. At Master Lock, we offer a comprehensive suite of commercial security products designed to meet these evolving needs, enabling businesses to maintain control over access without added complexity. https://lnkd.in/e9XMrvnv

According to a 2009 study by Ball State and Florida International universities, 38% of guest-related hotel thefts occurred in guest rooms, while the remaining 62% took place in common areas. In Las Vegas, there has been an observed increase in hotel room robberies. In early June 2023, six rooms at the Paris Resort and Casino were robbed while guests were sleeping, with thieves accessing rooms between 3 a.m. and 4:40 a.m. To enhance security, guests are advised to utilize room safes, lock valuables in luggage, and ensure doors are securely latched. Products like our folding door security bar (270D) address the need for travel security with a high strength steel design paired with a compact, quick release. https://lnkd.in/er8aYQBK

The National Equipment Register (NER) estimates that construction equipment theft in the U.S. amounts to over $1 billion annually. However, using high-quality locks and security systems can reduce the likelihood of theft by up to 80%. Accordingly, it’s estimated that construction companies allocate 5-10% of their project budgets to security measures, which includes locks, fencing, surveillance, and other anti-theft measures.

CNN named two of our locks "the best padlocks in 2024, tried and tested.” Our Master Lock 178D earned the title of best combination padlock, standing out for its durability, security, and updated design, which makes it nearly impossible to decode or pick. Plus, its hardened steel shackle held up impressively against cutting tools. Master Lock Magnum M115XDLF was also recognized as a top choice for those needing a heavy-duty key padlock. Built with a boron carbide shackle—the same material used in bulletproof vests—it withstood angle grinder tests and excelled in weather resistance, even after a 24-hour submersion test.
