00:00Okay, real talk, how many times have you stood in front of your gym locker,
00:03patting down your pockets, looking for that tiny key you swear you just had?
00:08Or worse, you've forgotten the combination for the third time this month.
00:12I got tired of it too, so I went down a rabbit hole testing fingerprint smart padlocks,
00:17and I've rounded up the 5 best deals I could find on locks that open with nothing but your thumb.
00:22Let's get into it.
00:24Starting off with the ABRU Tuya App Fingerprint Padlock,
00:27and this one's my personal favorite of the bunch.
00:30What makes it stand out is the Bluetooth app connection,
00:33you can add fingerprints for your gym buddy or your partner right from your phone,
00:37and you can also unlock it remotely if your hands are full or wet.
00:41It's properly waterproof too, so rain, sweat, humidity in the locker room, none of that bothers it.
00:47At $37 and change, with almost 5,000 sold and a 4.9 rating,
00:52this is the one I'd hand to a friend if they ask me what to buy.
00:56It's the full package without being complicated.
00:59Next up is this heavy-duty fingerprint padlock, and I'll be up front at $204,
01:05this is the splurge of the group.
01:07But there's a reason it exists.
01:09The build quality on this thing is a completely different league,
01:13thicker shackle, reinforced body, proper anti-theft construction that isn't going to pop open if
01:18someone gets aggressive with it.
01:20It's USB rechargeable, fully waterproof, and it's rated for bikes as much as gym lockers.
01:26So if you're locking up something genuinely expensive, or you've had gear stolen before
01:30and you're done taking chances, that 4.9 rating from over 4,800 buyers tells you it delivers.
01:36Now this third one is aimed squarely at students, and honestly that's exactly why I like it.
01:42The thumbprint reader on this is fast, like, press and it's open before you've even finished
01:46thinking about it, which matters when you've got four minutes between classes.
01:50It's built to handle school lockers, suitcases, toolboxes, even pet enclosures,
01:55so it's genuinely versatile.
01:58At $112 it sits in that middle ground, but you're paying for a rugged body that'll
02:03survive being chucked in a backpack every single day for years.
02:06Solid 4.7 rating, and nearly 4,700 people can't all be wrong.
02:12Coming in at $15.36, this biometric padlock is where things get really interesting for
02:18most people.
02:19The big win here is size, it's compact and lightweight, so it works brilliantly on handbags,
02:24backpack zippers, and smaller gym lockers where a chunky lock just gets in the way.
02:29It's USB rechargeable, keyless, and it holds a charge for months on a single top-up.
02:34For under $16 with a 4.9 rating, this is the one I'd buy two or three of, honestly.
02:40Put one on your gym locker, one on your suitcase, one on your tool bag, and never think about
02:45keys again.
02:47And finally, the budget champion at just $10.12.
02:51Look, I'm not going to pretend this is the most premium lock on the list, it's got a
02:564.6 rating and it's a simpler design.
02:59But here's the thing, it does the one job you actually need.
03:02It reads your fingerprint, it opens, it's USB rechargeable, and it keeps honest people
03:08out of your stuff at the gym or in a dorm room.
03:10For $10, that's less than you'd spend on a protein shake and a banana.
03:15If you just want to stop carrying a key and you're not locking up anything irreplaceable,
03:19this is a genuinely smart buy.
03:22Alright, that's the 5.
