About Lock Types
Lock Types was built for the moment you just need to handle this task and move on — no signup, no upload to a third-party server. The goal was to keep the path from "open the page" to "get the result" as short as possible. No mandatory account, no cookie wall, no upsell at every step. If you find yourself doing this regularly, the rest of the utility suite covers most adjacent tasks with the same approach.
