Sorry for any confusion. I intended to post a quick & brief response & wrote late at night after a long day.
I did not mean braille in the literal sense, but rather tactile - the push pin lock.
Ingenuity is the mother of inventions -> there is no reason someone couldn't design with a true braille lock in the fashion of some combination bike locks.
Based on discussion I have seem on other listservs, it is my impression that what is "best" seems to depend on the individual using the lock & the situation. There are times where I prefer a key lock & lanyard; but for swimming I'd prefer not to have something hanging around my neck or wrist or in a pocket. Its good to have different options to choose from & to be familiar with the various options so that depending on the situation one can decide what is best.
Sincerely,
Eric
