You Must Acquire The Four Keys Of Plotdevicia . . .

I'm a casual fan of the LockPickingLawyer YouTube channel, in that I feel compelled to watch any video that crosses my path but I haven't exactly scoured the back catalog. Still, I just learned about a very cool lock conceptually, and – even though the video's 5 years old – it was new to me . . . and perhaps to you as well.

It's a lock from India that takes four different mechanisms to open. It (of course) doesn't provide much challenge, but it looks awesome. And it might prove an inspirational set piece for anyone techno-mechanically minded, as well as those trying to keep their steam-powered automatons or solar lasers secure.
