Flatlock

Wallet sized padlock

Inventor

David De Matheu

Sleek, thin and strong pocket-sized lock. Never forget your gym locker at home again.

David forgot his lock one day and found himself stuck lugging around his bulky backpack for the entirity of his workout. After sharing his frustration of always having to carry around his lock with friends, he realized they all had a similar problem. He invented the Flatlock to make sure no one had to lug their backpack around during a workout ever again!
