In order to make sure that people are able to enjoy the 2015 UEFA Champions League Finals with the right beer, [Heineken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trust-bars) developed the 'Door Lock' device.

The Door Lock is meant to be installed at the entrance of the home, so that when a friend comes over with a six-pack in their arms, they are required to scan the beer at the door. If a bottle of Heineken is presented at the door, entry is permitted. If not, the friend will be criticized for their choice.

In addition to making a pretty humorous commercial that sports enthusiasts and beer aficionados will enjoy watching, Heineken is giving people the chance to win one of five Door Locks as part of a contest.
