When I get my keys out they come from my pocket, which is low, and they move upward towards their target (door, lock, etc.) I do think dirt would be a problem depending on the area you're in and the elements it gets exposed to. I also think it would be cool to see an all around funnel type of idea although it seems harder to implement. Fun stuff!

Like a shallow funnel that flows into the hole. It would give more assistance to any direction of approach and put the lock further away from picking devices. <br><br>But, thats just one idea.

It's hard to tell from the picture whether the key's bitting is facing up or down. If it's up, the key would have to be longer than your standard key. If it's down, it should still be longer, but it could be the normal length. If it's down and the normal length, this would be extraordinarily easy to pick because you'd actually be able to see the pins. And even if the key is longer so the pins can be hidden, this would still give you a lot more room for pick or rake and would make it easier to keep the torque wrench out of the way. <br><br>In any case, from an experience perspective it's probably most like those non-child-proof caps they give to elderly people for their pill bottles... sacrificing unneeded security for very needed accessibility. Maybe not a universal need, but a compelling one in specific instances.
