TECHNALOCK Helps Sponsor the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk

2007-09-13T08:56:00.000-06:00

The Breast Cancer 3-Day Series (in Michigan) is an event which is geared towards educating people about breast health. The participants have to raise at least $2,200 each to participate. The participants then travel about 20 miles a day raising awareness about breast cancer.

TECHNALOCK has been sponsoring Cindy Anderson (a long time customer) for several years now and we couldn't be more proud of her. After her grandmother passed away from breast cancer, she decided to join the efforts to raise awareness.

Picture on right: Circle of women holding hands are all breast cancer survivors.

Tim needs an Agent

2007-06-19T12:41:00.001-06:00

Hardly...

Last week Tim was in Florida taping a TV show to introduce our NEW ProxiLock to the world. When we all asked him how it went, he told us "I think I need my own agent". Well, we're sure our TV segment will be good, but Tim probably shouldn't quit his day job any time soon.

Jenn handles the production schedule & is happy say that we are very busy at TECHNALOCK right now.

The bowl is filling up! - This week's hint!

2007-05-08T15:26:00.000-06:00

Our "Find Lilly" Contest kicked off last week and there are a lot of people out there that want free food. Here is the red "bowl" we are using to put your entries in. Those of you who are remembering that you can enter once a week will definitely have an advantage. The hint this week: "How long has TECHNALOCK been around?"

TECHNALOCK's Neighbors

Securing iPod's

2007-05-04T10:35:00.000-06:00

We have been contacted several times in the past couple of weeks about securing iPods. We love the Revolve-a-Lock for this because the adapter plates that can come with are very small & low profile. By using Revolve-a-Lock you can effectivly secure small equipment & easily remove the security as well. Oh! The lock/revolving dial of the Revolve-a-Lock rotates completely around so it doesn't inhibit the use of the iPod.

Meet Our Office Puppy, Lilly-Bella!

2007-04-10T14:28:00.000-06:00

Lilly belongs to Connie Rhoades and has become a favorite around the TECHNALOCK
Customer Service office. We all enjoy having Lilly around everyday.

It is fun to take a break now and then to pick her up for a snuggle or to play fetch with her (which she absolutely loves!). We jokingly call her our "door bell" because she always lets us know when someone comes into the office. Don't be surprized if you hear her sometime when you call the 1-800-448-5625 Customer Service line.

Check back on our blog often so you can join in on the "Find Lilly" contest. Winners of the contest will receive gift certificates to some of your favorite restuarants like TGIFridays, Applebees, Ruby Tuesdays and more!
