That small hole at the bottom of a padlock is a survival feature. Exposed to rain, snow, and humidity, metal locks would quickly rust solid if water couldn’t escape. The opening lets moisture drain and gives you a way to add lubricant directly to the internal pins, rescuing a stiff lock before it has to be cut off. Even modern weatherproof designs keep it as backup drainage and pressure relief, a quiet nod to decades of engineering experience.Once you notice that, other “invisible” design decisions start to stand out. The square base on a screwdriver handle that fits a wrench, giving extra torque. The little fabric swatch once used to test detergents without ruining new clothes. Brass doorknobs chosen not just for shine, but for their ability to kill bacteria. Even the tiny arrow on your car’s fuel gauge, silently telling you which side the tank is on. Ordinary objects, extraordinary thought.
