If the “Indicator Lock” is not locked in the correct sequence after being opened, the misaligned geometric pattern on the face will alert the owner to it being operated by someone other than themselves. This piece was inspired by locks from the 18th and 19th century with features that would alert the owner of unapproved activity.
