Description
The Transparent Lock looks kind of like, well, a padlock you can see through. Even with everything apparently visible, anyone experienced with Gary Foshee's puzzles knows there is always more than meets the eye. It is a fun experience and definitely shows the creativity and humor always present in Gary's puzzles.

After the first batch was made and quickly sold out, a second was made available during IPP 32 in the summer of 2012.

It is made of aluminum and stainless steel.
Goal
Open the lock. Then close it back to the starting state.
