That top one is what I think is called a "surface-mounted deadbolt". It's pretty common in apartment buildings as a third lock. It can only be opened (theoretically) from the inside, by turning the knob on the main lock base. I do believe that Jeph put the knob on the wrong part of the door, but that's picking nits.

EDIT: Here's an example of what I'm talking about. The knob should actually be on the door, not on the frame.

Yes. Spot the difference.


One is a dangerous and destructive piece of military hardware, the other is an armoured personnel carrier.

You fool! That's exactly what they'll expect!

jwhouk:
Ha.

Unfortunately, by putting the lock tumbler on the frame and not the door, there's no way you could unlock the door from the outside if you had to. Which kinda defeats the purpose of having a lock on your door in the first place.

That must be from Ariadne's front door
