- > notes on using a protactor to open a lock

- A better one I found was a hospital that had an electric lock with a numeric
- keypad and an electrically operated bolt - if you pushed the door the bolt
- would unlatch but reconnect before you could push the door. Of course putting
- anything like a plastic card would hold the latch open and you could get
- through. The bolt mechanism was exposed and it was easy to see, but I supposed
- the keypad was designed to scare people off.
