New Delhi: Here comes a solution that may put an end to your frustration of losing keys or forgetting combinations. Noke (pronounced as "No Key") is claimed to be the world's first Bluetooth padlock that doesn't require any key to be unlocked. This hi-tech padlock uses the wireless Bluetooth technology. When clicked it automatically looks for a phone with a compatible key and unlocks. You don't even need to take out your phone from your pocket or purse.
You will also be able to share access to your possessions easily, safely, and securely, said FUZ Designs, the behind the Noke padlock. With the Noke app you can easily give access without the hassle or risk of giving up your key. The Noke app is available for both Android and iOS.
There may be situations when your phone runs out of battery. How would you unlock the Noke padlock then? There is an alternate way. The company's patent-pending Quick-Click technology allows users to create a custom access code. "If you're ever without your phone, simply key in those clicks and your Noke will instantly unlock for you," says the company.
For those who would like to use Noke on their bicycles, the company has created a custom chain and bike mount to securely attach Noke to your seat post. The Noke padlock is available for $20.
The Noke padlock is water resistant. The company has added four silicone gaskets to keep the water out. When it's time to replace your Noke's battery, you will receive a notification through the app. To replace the battery, simply unlock Noke and twist off the back cover.
The Noke padlock project makes its way to the crowdfunding site Kickstarter this month.
