Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Keyt is a simple toy that acts like a lock and key. But here the key Do not fit inside the lock by pulling or pushing, Rather all the teeth must pass through all the rings to fit into the lock. This can be done by rotating the Key and the rings inside the lock and coordinating between them.(The rings inside the lock are free and rotate easily.) This procedure is also performed when removing the key from the lock, and the same procedure must be followed when removing the key.
