KEYLESS LOCK IS INVENTED
So Simple in Operation That Small Child Can Easily Open Doors.
A keyless lock, recently placed upon the market, resembles in appearance almost any other door lock in a general way, having a handsome door plate and knob, but at the right side and a little below the knob is a series of four small levers. These operate in various combinations known only to those who are permitted free access to the house, when necessity demands. The combination can be changed to a different combination.
Lock can be adjusted so that it will lock on closing or by turning the small button underneath the knob. It is opened by pulling upward one or more times on one or more of the levers at the side.
So simple is its operation that a child too small to unlock a door by means of a key can readily gain admittance with the keyless lock. This keyless mechanism can be attached to any standard lock, so that the purchase of an entire new lock is not necessary in order to have the advantages of the keyless lock. A keyless padlock is also manufactured with 38,005 different combinations.
