A love lock is a custom engraved padlock that symbolizes lasting love and commitment. Couples personalize their lock with names, dates, and meaningful artwork, then place it at a significant location or keep it as a keepsake. The tradition dates back over 100 years to Serbia and has spread worldwide.

How are MakeLoveLocks engraved?

MakeLoveLocks are laser-engraved on anodized aluminum. A high-intensity laser removes the colored anodized coating to reveal the bright aluminum beneath, creating a permanent, weather-resistant engraving that won't fade, rust, or wash away.

What colors are available?

MakeLoveLocks are available in 8 colors: Red, Black, Gold, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, and Orange. All colors are anodized aluminum with silver laser engravings.

How do I design my love lock?

Use our online designer at makelovelocks.com to create your lock. Choose a color, select from 117+ artist-designed templates or start from scratch, add your names, dates, and artwork, and preview the finished design in real time. Every lock ships with two keys.

Where can I place a love lock?

Popular love lock destinations include the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, N Seoul Tower in South Korea, the Old Red Bridge in Kansas City, and the Kallison Bridge in San Antonio. You can also display your lock at home, attach it to a garden fence, or keep it as a keepsake.

Our love and friendship is locked forever!

I purchased my Love Lock to gift to a very special person. My best friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer in May of 2023. She underwent several rounds of very aggressive chemo treatments for 5 months. Less than 50 days later, her cancer was back...this time in more areas and in her spine and cerebrospinal fluid. Her prognosis came back as only months, even with the new, even more aggressive, treatment plan. I wanted a special gift that was meaningful and actually showed our love and friendship would be locked for life. I surprised her with it at a weekly chemo treatment and we went and locked it the following week. The ordering, gifting and locking was all a very emotional experience. The lock it's is beautiful and was exactly what I was looking for.

LOVE my lock!

I purchased this lock for our trip to Paris in 2024. While I know you can’t lock it up permanently on the bridge in Paris I wanted it for a beautiful photo op. After our trip I plan on using it on my locker at work so I can swoon over it every day! It’s perfect!! Fast shipping too.
