I have literally checked with every store in this area and
absolutely NOBODY carries sock rings. I really thought that a
couple of the stores like Bed, Bath&Beyond or Linens n'Things
would have them and they truly shocked me when they said they
did not have them.
I've been both using and looking for a source of Sock Locks for many years. It's a pain to be trying to scavenge any still existing Sock Locks around the house just to be able to put my socks in the wash. Obviously, I like Sock Locks. It is such a pleasure to know that I have found your site. I have a new use for Sock Locks that helped us. Some people like to use cloth napkins, one for each person, at the dinner table instead of paper, and they use them, say, a week or a few days at a time. My wife wanted to do this to avoid using paper napkins, for ecology's sake - save the trees and all that. Also, cloth is nicer. Well, when you use cloth napkins, it is nice to be using all the same color napkins at the table. But how do you tell them apart? After all, the last thing you want is to be using someone else's nasty napkin. So what we do is, attach one color of Sock Lock to the top corner of each chair with a string, as a reminder. Then pull the same color Sock Lock onto the corner of that person's napkin. Easy to tell them apart with no mix-ups. My color was white, my wife's yellow, and each of the two kids - red and blue. With your six colors, you can handle a family of six with no difficulty. Also, if you want to get really neat about it, after meals you can attach the napkin to that chair's Sock Lock to dry the napkin and keep it off the table. This system (which I made up) worked fine for us. Jim DeMian Columbia, MO

My father stumbled on to these sock-locks back in 1973 and bought a 1/2 truck load. We used to pass them out at steel making conventions. Maybe I might of been the one that gave you your first sock lock. I sell cars at a dealership in Merrillville Indiana(not chevy), I want to give them away to my customers. I could probably find out from my father where he bought them. I would like a picture to see if this is the same unit , please let me know. Thanks Jeff Collins!

My wife loves your sock locks. I travel & carry them with me. When I return they are all ready to go in the washer & dryer and she never has to match socks. I had aquired the first ones through a friend's mother & had a hard time finding more. I used a Google search for sock rings and came up with your site. Thanks.
* * * * * * * * *
Like so many others who have written, I too have been searching a long time to find these "sock locks". Using the search engine 'Overture' I typed it 'sock organizers' and got a hit immediately on your site.
* * * * * * * * *
My husband has been using socks locks for years. Then about 3 years ago he needed some more, and we found them in a sock shop at Myrtle Beach. A friend who was with us also bought his first set. Now my husband and our friend need more. We have searched everywhere. I finally found your site after several other Internet searches. You'll definitely be getting an order from us. Thanks.
* * * * * * * * *
I have been searching for sock locks for years, ever since I got a few as gifts from a friend. My husband "claimed them" and I never got to use them on my own socks but at least had the pleasure of not having to deal with his socks-you know men's socks, shades of black, blue, etc. My husband has become so attached to them that he has tried glueing the old ones that eventually broke or has tried to make them himself. I am soooo happy to have found this website, care of a friend that has heard me ask everyone if they have heard about them. They are wonderful. It is amazing that what appears to be such a mundane product could evoke such a happy response in anyone who uses them.

I have been looking all over for "sock keepers" which is the name on the package of them I last found in the store. That has been kover 2 years ago...and I haven't been able to find them since. And we need a bunch of new ones!! They are miracle workers and we never have lost socks any more...til now and we littlary wokre the last of ours out!! Thanks for telling us how to get more.

I'm so glad I found your site via Ask Jeeves. My husband has been looking for the sock locks everywhere to no avail.His supply is running low. I'm ordering him some for a surprise love gift-just because sort of thing. Can't wait to get them! Thanks a million! Marcia from La Habra Hts., CA

As a kid in the early sixties, my best friend at that time had a mom who knew about Sock Locks. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. When I went away to college, streamlining the chore of laundering, specifically minimizing my involvement in it, was an important priority. So that's when I made my first investment in Sock Locks (or Sox Lox as I thought they were called). The ones I use now are wearing out, and since I can't find them in any of the local big box stores, this is great outlet for them. You never know what you can get from the internet until you look!

Wonders never cease. I'm working out at the gym today and dutifully pulling out my socks. which at my wife's insistance are linked by these things for which I have never known the name. Lo and behold this guy who is changing in a locker down the hall raises his hand with a sock lock in his hand and says his wife demands their use also. He tells me that there is actually a website which sells these things. So as soon as I get home from the office I check it out. I couldn't dare do this at work where as a an executive of a financial firm I wouldn't run the risk of being caught with this weird device on the screen. Anyway back to the gym, my buddy and I agree that the use of sock locks is a sure sign of "analness" but that we couldn't do without them (our wives are another story). But you better watch it. My daughter, an advertising hotshot is thinking of becoming an entrepreneur and if you don't start selling the thick sock locks separately, I am going to encourage her to focus on the "thick sock" market.
* * * * * * * * *
My former mother-in-law gave me sock locks in about 1978. They are still fuctional, but my supply is beginning to dwindle. I have searched five and dime and notion stores for more than ten years. Everyone needs these.
* * * * * * * * *
I have been a long time user as well (probably over 20 years). I grew up in a family of 5 boys and my parents had them for us to use (each had his own color). I've continued using sock locks and now am running low. I have six children and they are using safety pins to attache the socks together. I'm ordering a mess of packages as an underground tactic to see if I can get the kids to switch. (They make fun of my sock locks...) I think when they see how easy they are to use, and when they discover they don't have to do anything when the socks come out of the dryer (such as remove safety pins and fold the socks together), they'll be sold.
* * * * * * * * *
I love sock locks. I only have about 10 single pieces I found at a yard sale. I love them & want more in a hurry. I have 5 children and they really make my life easier. Thanks so much for this website!!!
* * * * * * * * *
I've been looking fot Sock Locks for a long time. I'm very happy to find your site.
* * * * * * * * *
no more sitting by the window to sort blue socks from black. I have been looking for these for years since I found our first supply. My daughter even used sock locks as a school project topic and parents wanted to know where to get them ? I will order ASAP
* * * * * * * * *
I have used these little gadgets for many years and find them indispensible. After looking for them for a while I was about to give up, when my daughter went looking on the internet, and voila, there they were. Thanks.
* * * * * * * * *
My husband has used these sock sorters for over 20 years and his old ones are finally wearing out! He has been trying to be gentle on the ones he has left and thought we would never find more. I have been looking for more for the past 3 or 4 years and no one has even heard of them in the stores. I had looked on the internet and even asked "Fran and Nan" in the newspaper, because they can find anything, but they could not find these! Thank you so much for making sock sorters available again!
* * * * * * * * *
Amazing! I have been searching for these things everywhere; only one place had them and now they don't carry them anymore. All of my friends laugh at me; they say the clips look like little frisbees, but the joke is on them when I pull my socks out of the dryer and don't have to sort them. I love my sock clips!
* * * * * * * * *
My story is similar to yours. I have used sock locks for years, but they eventually wear out. I have been unsuccessful for a year looking for replacements. Thank you for you WEB site. I am placing an order immediately.
* * * * * * * * *
I can't believe someone else was looking for these. I just decided to try the internet today because I had given up looking in stores.I've asked many people and they had never seen or heard of them. Thank you. Joy
* * * * * * * * *
I thought my husband was just a nerd for using these and he too was in a panic when he needed more and could not find any!!! He went from discount store to discount store looking for the past 3 years or so. I simply went online and did a Yahoo search and came across this website! Can I tell you how EXCITED he was when I told him I ordered him 2 sets of 16! I totally made his day! I had no idea it was that simple! Sock Locks making him happy! Then as I read all these other stories in the guest book I realize that he's not alone in his desire to search for more. Who knew sock locks were so popular. I need to thank you for this website because not only did you make my husband's day but you made me the hero finding them on the internet!
* * * * * * * * *
I am so glad I found sock locks again. I grew up in a family of eight people and my mother used sock locks to save sock sorting time. Each of us had a different color. It made laundry easy. I found them once in a store when I first got married but since we have two children, I had to find more. Needless to say, I could not find them anywhere in stores. I also carried an example to ask store clerks. I finally typed in sock sorters on the Internet and my husband were both surprised that we found them again as easy as that. Thank you so much for thinking about the sock lock fan club across the country. You have saved my life while doing family laundry. Therese

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!! I finally found you!! I've been looking for these sock-locks for years. Here's my true story: I remember that when I was a child I saw one of those rings somewhere in a drawer, and wondered what it was for. More than 20 years later, while reading a web page, the author mentioned them and described them (then I had a flashback)... and until then I knew what it was for, and since that moment I was looking for them, because I NEED THEM. So my search began, needless to say, I was quickly frustrated because they were simply not available anywhere. Today, I found this glorious website, more than 22 years after my first encounter with this gadget. By the way: when were the sock-locks invented? Thank you very, very, very much!! Regards.
* * * * * * * * *
I have been looking everywhere for Sock Locks. I stumbled onto your website after years of searching for these. I have tried some other sock clips but the ones that held as well were 3 times as expensive. The others I found (that I had to order from Autria) just came out in the Wash Machine. I can't wait for my order to arrive!!!!
* * * * * * * * *
They are quite a convience.
* * * * * * * * *
I am working and got bored. I am not sure what path brought me to your site, but since your have a guest book, I thought I would add a comment!
* * * * * * * * *
I have been using sock locks for many years. Color coding them so that I don't
have any command decisions to make about whether something matches first thing in the morning. I was really excited to see your site. Best of luck. fred
* * * * * * * * *
We just love our sock locks! But we do have one suggestion - make some for baby socks!
We tried to put our daughters little socks in the sock locks, but the socks just
fall out. And we have the enormous pile of unmatched socks to prove it!
I'm so glad we found your website! Thanks!
* * * * * * * * *
We can't thank you enough for this service. Like you we have been looking for
more of these little disk for over 10 years and were about to give up when i found your web site.
* * * * * * * * *
Eureka! I have been searching for replacements of what my husband and I call
"sock rings" for several years. Thank God and Al Gore for the Internet! My
husband was ready to manufacture them himself! I decided to give the search one more try. On Christmas Eve morning I found your distribution company on the web. I think this will be the best Christmas gift my husband receives! Thanks a million!
* * * * * * * * *
I HAVE USED THESE THINGS NOW FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS AND I STILL CAN'T FIND THEM AT LOCAL STORES LIKE MEIJER, WAL-MART, ETC. YOUR SOCK LOCKS ARE THE MOST INTELLIGENT THING EVER DONE TO ORGANIZE SOCKS. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAAND WHY I DON'T SEE THEM SOLD EVERYWHERE!
* * * * * * * * *
These gizmos were shown to me years ago by my mothers new husband. This confirmed my opinion of him as some kind of a nut-case. Now I must admit I am a convert. Like everyone else, I have been looking and looking without success. I think we need a support group.
* * * * * * * * *
DITO!!!!I could have written the same story that you did. I have been looking for
months for "sock rings",as we call them, without success! I have even placed
classified ads. Ours are just about gone. People look at you like"What did you
say?" when you ask for sock rings, sock locks really is better! Do you have the
double one that are for thick socks? Am SO glad I found you!!!
* * * * * * * * *
Hi, Hooray! I found your web site for Socks Locks!!! I found them once on one of those small-sized gift catalogs about twenty years ago, and I liked them so much I gave some away to my friends. I later regretted that (only a little) when I wanted more and couldn't find a source for Sock Locks. I've been looking for them for about ten years or more, and didn't even know they now come in colors. I'd always thought that'd be a good addition. Good for you! I had almost given up hope of finding them, mumbling to myself everytime I did the wash and had to sort my all socks. Since I'm a single guy, by the time I got around to doing a load of socks, etc., I had about two or three weeks worth of stuff to sort. You can imagine how happy I am to be able to obtain more sock locks. Life just got a little brighter! Thanks Again, Bruce P.S. Feel free to quote me.

Hi i am writing because i read that article in the AJC and thought yea right... well my mom bought "gold toe" socks for her and my brother well i wore a pair and tonight went out and bought 6 pairs. well.. since i paid for them i want to keep my socks... so i NEED these clips... thanks and maybe i will buy some for my other family members... april
* * * * * * * * *
found them in a store. For years now, I've looked for these for me and my boyfriend. I'm ordering enough to send to my dad for Christmas...he'll be SO excited!! Thank You.
* * * * * * * * *
I have used sock locks for many years and love them. I do not have to scramble around in the drawer to find matched socks. I have been looking for sock locks locally to give to friends but have been unable to find the right kind. I am glad that I found this site.
* * * * * * * * *
I think these are great. My brother used them all the time to keep track of his families socks. Since I became a mother I have been looking everywhere for sock-locks, but unable to find them. Thanks for putting them on the internet. "DEATH TO THE SOCK MONSTER. LONG LIVE SOCK-LOCKS."
* * * * * * * * *
Your sock-locks are wonderful
* * * * * * * * *
Thank you so much for making it easy to find your sock-locks. I have searched the stores for the last 2 1/2 years. I just decided to take a chance and look on the internet. You probably have a very good idea what a time save these little gizmos are. We look forward to getting our shipment as soon as possible. Thanks
* * * * * * * * *
I HAVE 5 CHILDREN AND 4 ARE BOYS. I BEEN LOOKOING FOR SOME WAY TO MAKE WASHING AND KEEPING TRACK OF THEIR SOCKS EASIER AND KEEPING THE MISMACHED PILE DOWM.

I am sooooooo thankful that I decided to look on the internet for sock locks!!! Years ago I too bought some in a local grocery store. When my husband and I wore ours out, I began looking for more. Much to my chagrin, I have been unable to locate sock locks locally or in Houston. I can't believe that these little things are so much help with the laundry and NO ONE carries them. Thank you for your assistance.
* * * * * * * * *
I love them.
* * * * * * * * *
I've been looking for these things for a long time in the various dollar stores, etc. And I can easily find the single ring variety. These are completely useless; I have plenty and they are of no use to me at all. What I'm looking for are what you refer to as the 'thick sock' type, i.e. the double rings. Do you sell these separately? I've no inclination to buy sixteen of the useless kind (of which I have a surplus) in order to get four pair of the kind I really need. thanks, steve
* * * * * * * * *
Thank You, Thank You!!!! I love you already and I don't even know you. I can't wait to be able to order my new sock locks from you. I may even start a business with these. LOL My life has been so unorganized since I have been unable to get more of these sock locks. My husband and I even thought of trying to manufacture these things because we were sure everyone else had the same problem with socks being lost in the laundry. I was in the same boat as you were, I had purchased some sock locks either in a Kmart or Walmart years ago then they disappeared from the market place. I travel some and my husband travels also, we have looked in almost every city we have been in. Thank you for making them available. GT
* * * * * * * * *
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. We found these over 25 years ago when we were first married. We didnot know they came in colors. What a small miracle that makes a big difference. Thanks so much.
* * * * * * * * *
Yipee! Sock Locks again at last. Real conversation just now: Me: hey, you know those plastic "sock locks"? She: no? Me: oh. Hmm, maybe i'll search the 'net for it. ::searching AltaVista:: She: what is a sock lock? Me: Found it! She: are they running away from home? Me: lol. well, they do in the dryer!
* * * * * * * * *
I've used products like this for several years, purchased at large discount chains. However, I never had a good, reliable supply source. I'm glad I found your page and am ready able and anxious to purchase product. I wish you had a 'real' order system so that I could order right now...... !!! Thanx for existing Dr. Don M. Lucas

I've been looking for these for years. I have a few and want more.
* * * * * * * * *
I have searched for a very long time for sock-locks, but to no avail. Fact is sock-locks are as important to me as sliced bread! Glad you ran the listing in the Atlanta Journal Newpaper.
* * * * * * * * *
I am so glad that I found your site! When my husband and I married 5 years ago, he opened my eyes to the wonderful world of sock-locks. We have been using his existing supply of them since. Our family has expanded several times and we have not been able to find sock-locks in any of the stores in our area, which is Louisville, KY.
* * * * * * * * *
I have been looking for these everywhere in Kansas City!
* * * * * * * * *
"Thank You, very much!"
Had been looking for this item for well over a year now. Had told family and friends to let me know if they found some. Reviewing form now; will be ordering shortly!
* * * * * * * * *
I have been looking for this item everywhere. I use it faithfully and have saved lots of money on socks over the years.
* * * * * * * * *
I am very pleased to find someone who sells this product.
* * * * * * * * *
Have been using them for years, and have been looking for them for too long! Delighted they're still available.
* * * * * * * * *
I love my sock-locks. need more
* * * * * * * * *
I think your product is great and have been using them since I was in college. As a single man, they were invaluable. While my wife initially laughed at them, SHE LOVES them, particularly when she hears hear friends gripe about what a pain it is to sort their husbands' socks!
* * * * * * * * *
Please send me some information about your product....we've had a terrible time finding these locally any more and are almost out of them.
* * * * * * * * *
My husband LOVES your product! Don't ever stop selling these sock-locks.
* * * * * * * * *
I have been looking for these since forever. I bought these in NYC in the 80's and when I ran the store I bought them from, stopped buying them. They're great.
* * * * * * * * *
I had used your product years ago, when hubby was in military.. they are perfect for nylon socks...... after several years of NOT wearing them, he's back to them, and the washer just eats them!! Thanks for the redesign.... cause we have some thicker socks I'm anxious to try in the banded double locks.
Note: We can't take the credit for the design, but we appreciate the praise anyway.
