Abstract:
Improvements to a changeable lock-cover are disclosed herein. The lock-cover operates with a combination or with a separate version/configuration for a key type lock. Minor geometry differences can be accommodated with the housing that can be made out of a hard plastic or a flexible material that conforms around the lock. The retention of the housing is with magnets, snaps or other temporary securing mechanism. A person can pull apart the closure to mover the cover to another lock or to change the cover to a different color or style. The face or indicia can take a number of different configurations including, but not limited to letters, colors, faces, insignias, moving components, lights, pictures and others. The mechanism that retains the cover together is stronger than the mechanism that holds to face or indicia onto the housing.
