DIY secret locking mechanism

Hello dear readers andthe inhabitants of our site!
Of course, each of you has always thought about the security of your premises, which is provided by various types of locks.
In this article, the author of the Ahad Ahad YouTube channel will tell you how he made an extremely simple locking system that can easily protect the doors of the barn, or even the apartment.

This mechanism is very simple to implement, and the possibility of its detection and neutralization is extremely low.

Materials
—  Neodymium magnets
- The padlock
- Espagnolette
- nail
- Wood screws.

Instruments, used by the author.
—  Screwdriver
- Ruler, square, marker.

Manufacturing process.
So, the author considers this mechanical device on the example of a door with a padlock. Of course, the first thing that a person who wants to get into the room will do is try to break the padlock, and if they fail, then simply cut it off or break the case.

However, even after removing the lock, the door remains closed. In order for the thief to spend even more time, you can hang several locks, creating the appearance of their functioning.

So what's the matter, why is the door still locked? And everything is very simple. The real locking mechanism opens in a completely different way, and is disguised as one of the self-tapping screws securing the handle to the door. In order to open the door, you need a small neodymium magnet, which can be hidden near the door. They are magnetized with a hat of cloves, and pulled out.


Then the nail rotates around its axis, and voila - the door opens!

So, a real locking mechanism can be represented as an ordinary bolt, and a bolt more serious. A carnation bent in the shape of the letter G just shifts the stock to the side.


In order to prevent the latch from locking in the extreme position, the author screwed an additional self-tapping screw into the door. There will be no such problems with the bolt.

The author several times shows the operation of this primitive mechanism.





As you already understood, it does not matter which lock is installed on the door. It’s just a sham for cheating a thief. And the key itself can be of various shapes, and is made of a piece of wire, which can even be left right next to the door. Anyway, only you yourself will know about the way to open the door. For example, it can be a small hole near the bolt, or one of the screws with which the lining is screwed to the surface of the door leaf.




There can be a great many variants of such locking mechanisms, and even for those who know about these simple methods, a large number of deceptive devices can also be made. For example, fasten several protruding screws near the latch that will cling to the key if it is not inserted at the correct angle. In addition, you can make a deadbolt with holes, clinging to which with a key, it will move to the side.

I thank the author for a very simple but very effective way to create a secret castle!
All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!

Well, now crackers will walk with niode magnets

For the garage, I use the rod of an old enlarger with a movement mechanism as a bolt. Securing the rotation knob is easy.

And make the hinges as in a safe - on the inner surface of the adjacent wall.

A bonnet forward is desirable. This is the most reliable mount.

More recently, it was impossible to immediately screw a screw into a tree!
You can’t wrap it with a screwdriver, you can use a hammer! xaxa
Just do not be clever ... (Sorry). There are no milling cutters on the screws !!! Screws with a thin core, which can be screwed into a tree without a pre-drilled hole, began to be called "screws" !!
(The current generation, perhaps, often does not know that until recently it was impossible to immediately screw a screw into a tree! Technologies did not allow making a sufficiently thin and strong core. Therefore, before screwing a screw, it was necessary to drill a hole two-thirds of it with a drill first lengths (Before the shaft is narrowed.) And then, somewhere closer to the 90th, miraculous screws appeared massively, which can simply be taken and wrapped in wood! Without a drill and drilling !!
Here they are in the people and began to be called "screws."
Now, almost all screws are self-tapping. They come with a drill, and without a drill! On one, I repeat, there are no milling cutters !!! And even more so, no hard alloy soldering !!! Even those that are designed for wrapping in thick metal have at the end a drill made of the same metal as themselves. (Otherwise, they could not have cut their own threads!)
P.S. It is interesting to see what a win-milling cutter looks like at the end of a screw.))) And what, is a cutter also disposable?))) And how much does such a screw cost ???

Just not self-tapping screws, but screws. The screws have a carbide milling cutter at the tip.

An idea may have a place. But it’s so boring to make a video, you have to have great skill.

Is it a locking mechanism, for constipation or for them?
About 40 years ago, there were such locks but with a G-shaped falling key, much more secret than that provided

When they can’t open the lock - cut the loop;)

I had a simple barn lock with a round key in my garage and I won a bottle of vodka, maybe no one could open or break the trick was that the lock was hanging inside the gate and it was accessed through a hole in the barrel which was closed by a door on the second lock which can be easily to break and the internal lock hung low, barely get it, I had to put the key on the rope in my hand so as not to drop the saw or break the lock it was not possible

I have already had similar nonsense for 25 years at the dacha ... A couple of times they opened a hinged one during the winter, but couldn’t get in - a hidden latch with a cord does not. He went up to the house, in a corner he picked up a small bundle, pulled it off with a latch, and the door opened ... So good luck to everyone in the experiments to protect their houses!

Well, like, I just pulled the handle, the door itself opened! xaxa
