Affiliate Disclosure

Need Locks participates in affiliate marketing programs, including the Awin network. Some links on this site, primarily product links in our buying guides, are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the merchant pays us a commission. You never pay more because of it; prices are identical whether you use our link or go to the store directly.

How affiliate links appear here

Outbound affiliate links on this site route through our own /out/ redirect so we can maintain them, and they are marked with rel="sponsored nofollow" in the page code, as search engines and network policies require. Editorial pages never hide that a link is commercial: product recommendation sections are clearly product sections.

What affiliate money does not buy

  • Directory placement. The locksmith directory is compiled from public map data. No business pays to appear, rank, or be described favorably.
  • Review conclusions. Product guides state measurable specifications and honest tradeoffs. A commission does not change a shackle diameter.
  • Resource content. Guides about hiring locksmiths, avoiding scams, and pricing contain no paid placements.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the FTC's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). Questions: contact@needlocks.com.
