Shackle Tags

What are Shackle Tags?

The love lock that brought you here has been picked open. The shackle tags are placed by our community as part of a competitive security awareness campaign. The lock pickers personalize their tags and showcase their skill by placing as many as they can; and for each tag that gets placed, we donate to a charity that will clean up a pound of trash per tag.

Look around and you’ll notice that some locks have more than others. Picking locks Is easier than you might think but not all locks are the same. While some serve their purpose as security products, others have inexcusable flaws. Flaws the manufacturers are aware of, yet instead of fixing, they continue to cut costs, putting you at risk.

Selling you a false sense of security is made possible by keeping you ignorant. You deserve a realistic expectation of what you use to protect your home, possessions, and family.

By learning how to pick locks you’ll not only have a new hobby, but a skill that improves your security awareness.
