⚡ At a Glance
- • Turning Leverage: Extra leverage reduces required grip force for smoother key rotation
- • Best for: People with arthritis, weak hands, limited mobility and carers
- • Not ideal for: Mortice/Chubb locks, most car keys and unusually shaped keys
Colour-coded nylon key caps fit flat Yale-style and cylinder rim keys. Dimpled domes enhance grip while adhesive tape and a locking system secure keys.
Less force when turning keys - with extra leverage
Built-in leverage increases torque so less finger strength is required; the larger turning surface spreads pressure across the palm. The design makes rotational force more efficient for users with limited grip.
Turning locks becomes achievable with weaker hands, reducing pain and fatigue during repeated use.
Secure, comfortable hold - with dimpled domes and nylon body
Dimpled domes create friction points that prevent slipping while the nylon body offers a warm, slightly yielding surface for the hand. Together they reduce the chance of drops even when grip is unsteady.
Keys feel stable in hand, so fewer fumbling incidents and less anxiety when unlocking doors.
Faster key identification - thanks to colour-coded set
Four distinct colours allow visual sorting so each key can be assigned a consistent colour. Bright, contrasting shades help quick recognition, useful for memory challenges.
Selecting the correct key becomes quicker and less stressful, which helps with routine tasks and dementia support.
