Fake Rock Hides Building, House Key FARM HOME Miscellaneous 7-2-31 Just about every spare key in America is hidden either above the shutter or under the mat and thieves know it. But one place they'll probably never look is in a rock lying next to the door.
The new "Lok Rok" from Sunflower Clayworks, Berea, Kty., looks like a rock, feels like a rock and is shaped like a rock, but along one side there's a slit that's just the right size to slip in a key. Inside, the hollowed-out rock has enough room to accommodate several house or farm building keys.
The Lok Rok is made from stone-ware clay and is 3¢ in. by 2¢ in. by 2 in. Although all are currently the same color, Joe Osolnik, the rock's inventor, says there are plans to adapt each Lok Rok to whatever region it's to be sold in ù making them redder in the Southeast, for instance, and lighter colored in the Midwest.
"This is a convenience, not a substitute for a good security system," cautions Osolnik, "but it does make it more difficult for the common thief."
The Lok Rok sells for $5.95, plus $1.00 for shipping.
