Lion Latch

The Lion Latch was created by Texas high school art teacher and coach, Lerin Lockwood. After catching a softball that broke her engagement ring and knocked out a diamond, Lerin realized she needed a safe and convenient place to store her rings while playing sports, working out or teaching. She always had her keys with her, but couldn't find any storage devices to attach to her keys that didn't come unscrewed or unzipped, and that's why she created the patented Lion Latch. The Lion Latch can store a variety of tiny valuables you do not want to lose in your pocket or bag and can attach to your keys, water bottle or purse. The Lion Latch is made in the USA!
