Have seen this before and forgot about it. So good to see it again. Thank you. Remember, Da Vinci drew mechanical designs for a helicopter and a submarine. Nothing new under the sun.

Very cool, functional, beautiful, and several security features. No electricity, computer chips, or passwords.

My Grandmothers old house, 1940-1950, had locks with that shape, but that is where the similarity ended.
