Flikset Fake Lock

Flikset is proud to introduce their first entry into personal property protection! While it won't actually protect anything, it'll provide a visual deterrent for any thieves of opportunity!

(If there is a real company called “Flikset”, I'm sorry, but the name fit for this sort of “product”. Neither this model, nor I, am associated with any company named “Flikset”.)

Print-in-place and multi-material, the shackle simply swivels between engaged and disengaged. Contains recesses to receive a 3/16" x 3/32" disc magnet in the shackle and a 1/4" x 1/16" disc magnet in the body for a fairly satisfying *click* (Not sponsored by K&J Magnetics, feel free to source your magnets however you want). I've added magnets from Maker's Supply to the Bill of Materials, but as they deal with metric magnets, the sizes are not exact. They are typically thicker with a smaller diameter, so if you buy magnets from below, you'll have to glue them into the recesses after making any adjustments necessary.

I was told by my new job that I needed a lock to claim a locker, that they weren't liable for any lost or stolen items from said locker, and that they would need to be provided a way to enter said locker in the event that I accidentally store, like, a walkie in it. This was my solution: a lock that doesn't actually secure anything, and the resolution to not store anything of value in my locker. Honestly, if someone wanted to break into my locker, they'd come prepared to defeat actual metal locks, so I don't see a reason to have the lock actually, you know, lock. It's got the same effect as fake security cameras in that it keeps honest people honest.
