Since space is limited and people are busy, it is easy to forget your numerous keys. Now is the time to create technology which standardizes locks to accept individuals’ personal key. Instead of one key for each lock or a variety of badges to swipe when you enter office buildings, locks need to become standardized and programmable to work with an individual’s one personal key. Imagine one personal key to access all your locks: house doors, family’s cars, office, bank lock deposit box, pad-a-locks for personal storage, etc.

Locks would be programmed by the owner to grant access and accept individual’s personal key likely utilizing an infrared technology. Locks would also have the intelligence to record which key accessed the lock. If you loose your individual personal key, you replace your key instead of all the locks. All you would do is reprogram your specific locks to accept your new personal key and restrict your old key. This idea also reduces the cost of making spare keys, replacing locks when you loose your key and minimizing theft since you can restrict your old key’s access immediately. Overall, life is simplified; you have fewer keys to carry, misplace or forget. The next generation lock might read a thumbprint or retina instead of needing your one personal key to completely eliminate the need for a key.
