You can see full details of Keywing and buy them here.

The keywing is designed to help those with grip or tremor issues to unlock doors by simply giving your key wings. It has a dimple design on the wings to make it easier to grip and turn. They come in bright colours which makes it easy to identify which key is for which door. They do not feel bulky in your pocket either.

Fitting the Keywing to the key is simple. The instructions are very easy to follow. They fit keys that have a round or square head. It really makes handling keys and unlocking door much easier. I certainly recommend the Keywing if you have grip problems. It will take the hassle and pain away from your fingers and hand. Keywing can be used on padlocks as well.

However, if your door lock has a water runoff, cover that does not open fully, or a handle right below the lock then the Keywing will not work for you. I found the wings are too big and prevent you from turning the key. Majority of locks will fine but check your lock before you buy just in case.
