I love how this follows the TED talk playbook:

1: “Here is a thing you are all familiar with”

2: “What if we thought about it DIFFERENTLY?”

3: “Here is the new yet intuitive way to think about it”

4: (Applause. Audience leaves with a easy-to-understand story to tell at cocktail parties)

Great work, and very cool lock.

And, like TED, there is no actual implementation in existence.

Except, a (prototype) implementation does exist - and you can buy one (or at least, you can when they're in stock)

"Please be aware that this lock is only a demonstration of the mechanism, and cannot be used to secure doors, chains, or anything else."

So, not actual implementation of a lock.

It is an implementation of the mechanism, though. It's just not a consumer-ready product yet.
