TWIST & SHOUT (about forgetting the code!)
Yet another “twist” on something we twist everyday. Designer Jess Han has re-imagined the simple door handle with a DaVinci Code style lock that denies entry for all but the chosen few (cue: dramatic music). This intuitive door handle dubbed the “NUMLOCK HANDLE” features a numbered dial-lock that re-shuffles and locks itself after every successful entry. Get the code incorrect and Tom Hanks gets punched in the gut by an albino assassin. The numbers can be replaced or supplemented with braille for that extra level of mystery.
Designer: Jaeseok Han

lceguy says
oh…goood
Manuel says
Great idea!!
love it!
congratulations!
Jeremiah says
Neat idea, but there should be some sort of key… Just in case the person forgets their code, or incase of imergency. And I would llike to see the mechanics behind it, just curious. But a sweet idea none the less.

Where can i buy this
Ahmet Bektes says
Great Idea!
It is pure and functional.
Joe says
Video or it didn’t happen.
Will Ayers says
Really not worth it. I would rather have a key to open the door. I think it needs a better design.
Philip says
Wow~!
I love this design. It’s simple and fabulous~!
Blah says
I simply install the camera and record the key.
It is easy but not functional
iPhone App Developer says
Such a great piece of design – I want these for our offices… not that we’re very secretive – I just love the minimalist design.
David Kaspar says
Oh noes, that’s the code to my suit case!
fusher says
you have to be quick if your house is burning
M.S.W. says
This type of lock would be best suited for lockers rather then entry/exit doors.
Onyx says
GREAT IDEA!, but the design flaw, is that when you open the door you will than have to move the combination, or it just resets to 00000 when the door closes again
Jedobe says
If you look at the user scenario image on the last, it says that the combination shuffles when released
Architectural Classics says
Very clever idea, every time I go out for a run or swim carrying my keys with me is a pain. I would certainly be very hesitant to put it on a front door of a house, but it should be secure enough for an apartment door in a building where there is an additional code at the gates.

steph says
how do you know the new code?
steve says
It would be a good concept if you forgot your keys inside. You could still get in. This is when this would be good. I keep an emergency key somewhere outside the house though. I’m never outside for too long.
alex says
Its very original,
Where can i buy this
shibli says
do you have any video of the handlelock??
Daniele says
cool and smart.
