BenjiLock: The Innovative Fingerprint Padlock Redefining Personal Security

Introducing BenjiLock, the world's first traditional rechargeable padlock with fingerprint technology

BenjiLock's concept began with a typical day at the gym. Designer Robbie Cabral wanted a safe and convenient way to store his belongings, including his keys. Frustrated with the lack of biometric padlocks available in retail stores, he decided to create his own. The result is BenjiLock, a sleek and modern fingerprint padlock that combines convenience and security.

Whether you're heading to work, school, or the gym, BenjiLock makes storing your personal belongings easier and safer than ever before. This innovative padlock features fingerprint technology, allowing you to open it with just a touch of your finger. But what sets BenjiLock apart is its hybrid design, which also includes a traditional key option. This means that even if the technology fails, you can still use your lock.

BenjiLock is made with high-quality materials, including a stainless steel body and a boron alloy shackle. It is powered by a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can last up to a year on a single charge, based on four uses per day. The padlock also features a fingerprint sensor with an ambient LED light and comes in a variety of stylish colors such as sky white, jet black, stainless steel, copper, and brass.

The operation of BenjiLock is simple and user-friendly. First, you insert the key. Then, open the lock and leave it open. Next, press the power button and hold your finger on the sensor. The LED light will slowly flash green and then red three times. When the light flashes green quickly, your fingerprint is stored, and you can remove your finger. Now, you are ready to use your BenjiLock.

The development of BenjiLock was not without its challenges. The most difficult part was merging the technology of the fingerprint sensor with the traditional key mechanism. However, once this hurdle was overcome, everything else fell into place. Additionally, redesigning the traditional padlock to be user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing was a priority for the designer.

BenjiLock was unveiled to the world at the 50th edition of the 2017 CES in Las Vegas, Nevada. Since then, it has received numerous accolades, including the Bronze A' Design Award in the Security, Safety, and Surveillance Products category. This award recognizes the innovative and resourceful design of BenjiLock, which combines art, science, and technology to improve quality of life.

With its unique hybrid design and cutting-edge fingerprint technology, BenjiLock is redefining personal security. It offers the convenience of instant access with the peace of mind provided by a traditional key. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or someone who prefers a more traditional approach, BenjiLock is the perfect solution for keeping your belongings safe and secure.
