Help Lock Bathroom Lock

Countless bathroom accidents are reported every year with many cases resulting in death due to being discovered too late. Help Lock created by Chineese industrial designer Haishan Deng allows accidents to be discovered earlier. It is not only the elderly or people living alone who may benefit from it, but also those in the normal home. The problem is solved with a timer and an alarm. When user locks the door, the timer is set automatically. Once the time has passed the point which the user put, he will be reminded to cancel the alarm . If, after 30 seconds, there is no response, the lock will sound the alarm, unlock the door and dial a pre-programmed emergency number.
