The Y-Lock

Photobucket

There's never enough that can be said about simplicity. The act of dumbing down or altering even the most rudimentary of inventions takes a lot more intellect than just creating them. That's because you have to backtrack to the point or objective of the design and find another way to get there. I suppose the guys over at Yanko Design didn't have to go all the way back to the idea of the traditional lock. The Y-Lock, though, is an ingenious modification for people who always have trouble putting their key in the door (me) half the time. It'd probably cut down on broken doorknobs too, since it's just the lock mechanism. One of those things that make you go 'duhhhh'....
