Why Didn’t I think of This? – Word Combination Locks
Have you ever seen a product that you thought was a great idea, yet simple and wondered why I never thought about it? I ran across an article about a couple (Todd and Rahn Basche) that created a combination lock using easy to remember words instead of numbers. Darn, why didn’t I think of it first? Remembering a simple 4 to 5 letter word is much easier than remembering numbers.
When Todd Basche came up with the idea, he first went shopping for a word combination lock and couldn’t find one. As a result, his company, Wordlock, Inc. was born in 2007. Prior to founding Wordlock, Mr.Todd Basche was Vice President of Software Applications at Apple where he was responsible for iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and iTunes.
The company has a patented an algorithm which creates thousands of 4 and 5 letter words which removes inappropriate words from the dials. Wordlock locks are made of hardened steel, and are used on luggage, bikes, lockers, and anywhere a standard numerical lock might appear.
Wordlock locks are sold at Target, Ace Hardware, Kmart, Sears, True Value, Walgreens and online at Amazon.com, Edwards Luggage, HSN, just to name a few.
