Unique lock designs

It would be oddly satisfying, but each one feels like I’ve just locked myself in accidentally.

I hate this.

All the doors slow down before latching, perfectly smoothly easing into a stop, the way your animation software interpolates keyframes.

Real latches need momentum to latch, it takes energy from the door to push the latching bolt. The door will slow when pushing the mechanism, but slam slightly with the leftover energy. The motion is the thing that looks most fake about this animation.

All of these seem like the sort of things people use when they have escape-artist horses

I want the swing gate one.
