The 1990s door lock that turned security mechanical

Ummmm... locks have historically been mechanical, like forever

Me needing to go number 2 and I see this lock 🔐

All negated by this one vulnerability!

I wouldn't be opposed to having such locks TODAY.

back when "zero trust" meant a deadbolt and a chain

Waiting for the CN saying "all door security is mechanical" 😂

That 90s door lock is mechanical genius

Our 1930's house has one of these. Damn solid along with the door.

literally why did we ever move away from this

And it doubles as a hand-held striking tool to use in case the person on the other side of the door isn't a real delivery person with an unexpected delivery of flowers.

great in theory. but my kids would absolutely lock us out of the house.. #SPX6900 is flipping the stock market. you can afford a very nice lock then.

I miss brass decor. It's like gold but shinier, for Pete's sake!

No wayyyyy! A flea could kick that door in 🤣

A keylock is also mechanical. And mechanical locks with different anchorpoints included in the door lock existed in 1990. This is just a very simple, but impractical one.

Fire Hazzard and can make it had for police/fire/ems to get to you. Keep it simple. Stay calm and carry on

Until someone kicks the door averagely hard and the top two hinges come apart.

Got one of these for the back door, just to add an extra layer of security. It was easy to install and gives peace of mind without being an eyesore. Worth having around.

A thief from outside sees one thing — glass.

Wao nice thing 👍

I wonder why these aren't around anymore? Too easy for kids to lock themselves in somewhere?

probably need a hitch lock on that trailer too...

Probably better than 90% of today’s locks lol

Dude one strong kick at the top and the bottom of the door is gone...did you see how feeble the door was lol

Perfect

Is that dried blood on the door?

That’s such a clever brute-force way to beef up a door without any tech—love how it just leans on pure physics. What’s wild is how these old mechanical hacks still hold up better than half the smart locks today that get bricked by a power outage—ever wonder why we ditched them for stuff that needs apps?

1990’s or 1890’s?

The burglar sees this and immediately starts job hunting 😭💀

There were signs…
