His Knob Light is a door knob with an internal generator that stores energy and illuminates the way in emergencies or whenever you need a guide to the loo.

3. Help Lock doorknob [link]

The first time you activate the Help Lock doorknob, you program in a phone number and a time. This is the amount of time you get to be in the bathroom without the door going NUTS!

From the first time forward, each time you close the door and hit the ?go? button, you have the alloted amount of time to use the toilet, shower, bath, or do whatever else ? after that alloted amount of time, an alarm goes off!

The alarm sounds for 30 warning seconds (it?s quiet) during which you can still turn it off, followed by Loud Noises and a phone call to the programmed number.

Not sure is that a good idea…the only thing I know is I will be driven madness to those button…alarm…noise things.

This intuitive door handle dubbed the ?NUMLOCK HANDLE? features a numbered dial-lock that re-shuffles and locks itself after every successful entry. Get the code incorrect and Tom Hanks gets punched in the gut by an albino assassin. The numbers can be replaced or supplemented with braille for that extra level of mystery.
