How about Yale and Euro Cylinder locks. Cheap, universal, simple to operate and install. That Fox is a doozy though, worse than POC when they came out.

Euro Cylinder locks. Cheap, universal, simple to operate and install.

And easy to break into in seconds because of a fundamental flaw. Terrible design.

Ikea Antilop high chair.

Ergonomic genius (zero adjustment but somehow fits a huge range of kid sizes), no crevices, no fabric, no padding, cheap, indestructible, jetwashable 🙂
