# Personalized Security Systems The BOLT Padlock Only Opens Using a Specific Ignition Key By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-05-17 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolt-padlock References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/bolt-padlock-system/22557/) & [boltlock](http://www.boltlock.com/) No one likes having to carry around enough keys to be mistaken for a janitor, nor has anyone escaped the inevitable time or two where they have forgotten the right key for a lock, but the BOLT padlock promises to eliminate all of that frustration. The lock is operated using the ignition key from any GM, [Ford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truckle) and [Dodge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-bee) vehicle, which cuts down the amount of keyring-fillers one has to tote around. When the key is inserted into the device, a series of spring-loaded tumblers conform to the shape of that particular key and then remain in that formation permanently thereafter. This personalized security system makes it nearly impossible for a thieving criminal to pick the lock and steal the item -- unless they get a hold of the car keys that activate the system. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalized Security Systems:** The BOLT Padlock utilizes individual car keys as lock devices, creating a personalized security system that is difficult to breach. - **Keyless Security:** Innovative security systems that do not require traditional keys will continue to disrupt the lock industry, resulting in the creation of new services and solutions. - **Integrated Security Systems:** The integration of security systems into existing technologies will provide a new level of convenience and security in industries such as automotive and home security. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Lock Industry:** The lock industry must consider the development of more personalized and secure lock systems like the BOLT Padlock in order to remain competitive in today's market. - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry has the opportunity to incorporate keyless security systems like the BOLT Padlock into their vehicles, providing added convenience and security for consumers. - **Home Security Industry:** The home security industry can integrate personalized security systems like the BOLT Padlock and other keyless systems into their products, creating a new level of convenience and security for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Next-Level Digital Lock Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proximkey.md) - [High-Tech Residential Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residential-security-system.md) - [Adaptable Key Lock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-rekey.md) - [Outdoor Fingerprint Padlocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-fingerprint-padlock.md) - [Palm-Recognizing Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-deadbolt.md) - [WiFi-Enabled Accessible Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-lock-bolt-v2.md) - [Multi-Access Smart Deadbolts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utec-ultraloq-bolt.md) - [Advanced Smart Home Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ubolt-wifi.md) - [Antitheft Car Key Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-key-faraday-shield.md)
