Definition

Lock — the mechanism that secures a door in a closed and latched position. Kunci ranges from simple sliding bolts to sophisticated mortise locks and modern electronic locks. Building codes specify different lock requirements for emergency egress doors (quick-release) versus security doors.

Example
