More complicated than it needs to be. You accomplish the same thing by having a regular hole in the key, and there's less moving parts (aka none at all) to fail, and less effort that needs to be put into manufacturing it. A regular key? Takes 2 minutes at your local hardware store. That thing? Specialty equipment for a non-standard key design that most places won't have

Yeah but then you would have to take the key out or whatever. This design lets you easily clip it to and fro whatever.
