and that's why Towelie says: "Don't forget to bring a towel!"

Where can I buy that Keedex K-22 Lever Opening Tool??

Yup gov't wants strangers in your hotel room.

Are you against handicap accessibility? Latch design is an ADA guideline.

If that's not enough: vid appears to be from Bruehl Germany... I can even (barely) make out "Herzlich Wilkommen" to be the first words printed on the key card at beginning of vid.

People figuring out how to crack something does not constitute a failure either and there are plenty of lock manufacturers to keep competition lively. not sure how the consumer is hurt.

couldn't you put the towel along the bottom of the door?

[putittogether]

No, that latch design is the law, and must be used according to regulations. As always with government regulation it FAILS, and often only helps the enriched company's, making competition more difficult, and intern hurting the consumer in the end.

Are you implying that hotel room doors require more government regulation?

[putittogether]

Government regulations at their best folks.

[gredangeo]

See, that style of door handle is because of handicap laws.

And how do you use those from the outside, so people don't steal your shit while you're away?

I'm not concerned about people breaking in while I'm inside, I'm concerned about people breaking in while I'm outside.
