CANNOT PUSH THIS KEY OUT
Little Metal Bar. Invented by Wash

People who lock their bedroom
doors to keep burglars out do not al
ways feel safe then. Expert knights
of the Jimmy have n way OF pushing
key out from the outside and pick
ing the lock. To Illustrate their efforts
In this direction n Washington man
has designed key fastener. which rs
as much protection as n big iron bar.
This fastener is a thin but strong
metal strip In two parts. the lower
part shorter than the upper. and at
tached to the latter pivotally. The up
per section. too. is made to fit over
the handle OF the door. so that when
II hangs down the lower section passes
through the ring or the key and
prevents the latter from being
pushed out from the outside. From
the room side of the door. however.
the key will turn AS easily as II there
were no bar through it. the short sec
ton of the fastener moving readily
with the movement of the key. and by
turning the latter to one side the
fastener may be easily withdrawn.
