Updated V2 Locking Mechanism for Treasure Chests
🕑 Added 2023-10-16 21:43:22 +0000 UTCHey everyone! It's been three days since I released the new key lock print in place treasure chest and after hearing your feedback I've made an updated V2 locking mechanism for the chest that has increased durability. I'm getting ready to release the new Box Style chests that I showed on my social media channels that will use the same locking mechanism so I wanted to get the durability updated so that the new models have the V2 locking mechanism upon release. I've had a few of you message me asking to show how I designed the locking mechanism so that you could incorporate this style lock into your own designs, so I'm taking the opportunity to make this update post which will also show the inner workings of the lock so you can see exactly how to re-create it!
This V2 version of the locking mechanism will increase the durability of the lock. The amount of free space in the lock housing was decreased on each size so that the two latches can't over extend and will only open enough to lock/unlock the chest. I also added a solid block in-between the two latches so that they can't over extend inwards towards the center on accident.
The original key lock treasure chest listing was updated with the V2 locking mechanism treasure chest. I will also be including the new files in this post as well.

Hi, thanks for updating this with the stronger lock. Would you be able to possibly add a file for just the lock mechanism itself? I want to try and create my own chest but with your lock mechanism because I think it's a pretty cool design. Thanks!

You should make those old time tin lunch boxes.
