Could you point me in the direction of where I can find NeXT compatible locks? Thank you

I am assuming you are meaning Padlocks, I dont think there are specif NExT NTAG216 Padlocks, but there are some ISO14443a compatiable ones.
That said
The other thing to note is that RFID padlocks are battery powered, so their duty cycle can be infrequent and not a lot of power output as to conserve the battery as they are designed to be operated by a fob or card.
The xSeries can struggle to communicate with low power devices
I actually havenāt been able to find them in my searches. Or, the ones I did, were either incompatible or someone in the forums said how bad they were.
This was the only padlock that I, personally, could find that would work with a DT Implant.
My name is Ryan Boswell, Iām the Director of Business Development with LynkD.
I stumbled across this forum and managed to find some conversation about the QuickLock and a few of our other products. First off, Iām amazed that anyone has even found our products haha. Weāve stayed small for the last few years as we try to iron out the direction we want to take our solutions. Seems like thereās been some incredible discussion on here about what youād like to see improved.
Iād love to chat to hear a bit more about your thoughts/what an ideal BT Padlock would look like for. (Weāll make sure to send you a second RFID card haha!)
These products are all a little bit outdated and weāre working on a re-launch of our system, application, hardware stack and more. So new support will be available within the next few months.
If you want to get in touch, Iād love to chat and hear your thoughts. Same goes for anyone on here thatās maybe interested in learning a bit more, or that has questions/comments.
You can reach me at RBoswell@LynkD.com
Nice meeting you all!

Hello Ryan,
We are amazed that you are amazed. 
.
Some companies arenāt as excited when they find out we are using one of their products, citing mainly ethics issues/personal issues pertaining to Biohacking. I donāt speak for everyone (and Iām not affiliated with DT in anyway - besides being a customer), but for me, personally, Iām just trying to have fun and improve my day-to-day life using technology.
Iām relatively new to the whole RFID world, so one of the other veterans might be able to better answer the future needs and wants. Iām currently at the point of, find a product I like, then find a compatible implant. This is how I stumbled across the QuickLock.
I do know we would like a highly secured lock. It seems the veteran members enjoy breaking and testing a bunch of products. Searching these forums and the web, you will see we found some implant-compatible locks, but they are either cheaply built, or easy to shim/crack into with simple tools. (Actually one of the first things I tried doing when receiving my QuickLock was try to āpeelā the face, and I checked the charging port to see if there was any visible screws and such 
)
If other folks chime in, Iāll definitely reach out and share their ideas. Iād love to test any products for you, and see if they are compatible with DT implants. I currently have the NExT and xSLX implants, and will probably buy a xM1 in the coming days (just thinking of a location to put it ). Secretly still waiting on the VivoKey Apex Flex tooā¦ cough cough
Hi Ryan,
great intro and thanks for taking the time to come and visit us here.
As discussed we are interested in many things security-related, but our specific little niche is what can we use our implants with, One of the biggest holes in the market for us, are implant compatible Padlocks.
The LynkD ( QuickLock ) padlock being a notable exceptionā¦ However, as good as it is, as it uses ISO15693 MOST of our implants are either in the Low Frequency or High Frequency ISO14443A.
I am lucky enough to have an ISO15693 implant, but many donāt.
I hope they are still available, I was hoping to pick up a QuickLock Padlock for review and my own purposes.
I will be sure to contact you when I have done so 
Here is an example of the products we have tried and tested, and you will see that lack of padlock (Quality) in that space
Though we are a small group, we are a loyal group, if you can provide a reliable and compatible lock base, you will also gain a loyal customer base and we would be willing to put them through their paces.
We even have a review category #reviews where we test and recommend (or not ) products that individuals have found and tested.
I think a great step would be putting you in touch with our leader Amal Graafstra (@amal ) who is the owner / Director of Dangerous Things and Vivokey, he has many years in this field and a vast amount of knowledge in the RFID field.
He has at his disposal ALL the implants in one place, So if you were to send a sample of each of your products to him, he could test ( Or arrange testing by deseminating to the community ) Iām sure you will get some valuable feedback.
Amal will no doubt see this post, but he is currently flat out busy at the moment, moving Office and everything that goes with thatā¦
Just some Crib Notes that Im sure you are already aware of:
Lock = Security, There are different levels, and the lock is only as strong as itās weakest link 
- Protect solenoids from Magnet Bypass
- Protect Shackles from Shim attacks ( have tight Tolerances, Ball bearings )
- Use secure Tech like DESFire, or less secure if required, But never use proprietary tech, what you gain in sales of fobs / cards etc you will loose in customers - we want to use our own cards, fobs, implants not what we are told we have to use.
- For a padlock, as it is battery powered, either Low Power duty cycle with occasional HP pulse may be good, or a āTap to wakeā function
Any hints on what products we should expect to see?
Members here are always looking for Door locks, some of whom Rent and are after a universal lock, that they can install and remove with no damage or modifications to the door.
There are also a number of Gun Nuts, so gunsafes / locks etc would be of interest also
Gym Locker padlocks, secure enough to protect dirty underwear
Cupboard/ Cabinet / Draw locks
Anyway, Thanks again for saying Hi and Iām sure at some stage, we will be getting our hands on your new products and we will let you know how it goes.

And American Made 
(Ok, not a requirement, but would still be good in my eyes 
)
As @pilgrimmaster is in NZ and many of our other compatriots are in Europe, place of manufacture is less of an issue (but quality is important).
Key based overrides (or indeed any overrides) just provide more avenues of attack and lower the security. Keep them simple.

Got 2 more implants installed today! (xSLX and the xM1).
Was able to connect the QuickLock to my phone via the LynkD App and Bluetooth. Super easily added the xSLX to my account using the app also. Surprised it read right away and I didnāt have to wait a week or two.
Staying at a casino tonight, and was also able to clone my hotel card to my xM1 using pm3. Unfortunately, swelling is to much for the door to read my arm. Fortunately, I had an extra MF card (I think it might have came with the xM1??? Not really sure where I got it), and I was able to clone that and it works fine with the door! 
What is the easiest way to upload videos here? YouTube? I think they are both 8k, if that mattersā¦
