Crater Keyhole Concepts

The Concave Lock Makes it Easier to Open Doors in the Dark

The Concave Lock is an ingenious redesign that should make opening doors late at night much easier. Designed by Poh Liang Hock, this lock juts inward, as opposed to outward. Its atypical shape makes it easier to slide your key into the lock for those late nights when this task is extremely difficult.

The Concave Lock also features a unique lighting system that illuminates the keyhole at nighttime. This feature is especially useful for party animals who find themselves fumbling with their keys in the wee hours of the morning. Hock's design is meant for homes, but its not hard to imagine the Concave Lock being useful if put onto automobiles. The possibilities are endless with this unique look.
