Shouldn't this article contain a section explaining how this type of lock works?

No more history.

Reference #1 now goes to http://www.mul-t-lock.co.uk/ which doesn't, as far as I can find, mention Chubbs at all. Replaced it with http://www.chubbfamilytree.com/histories/feature1.php which includes the picture of the 1847 patent lock. --StarChaser Tyger (talk) 07:42, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

George sat on it?

The footnoted link after the assertion that George IV sat on a Chubb lock is currently dead, however an archived version of the page at Archive.org makes no mention of this incident. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.119.204.117 (talk) 19:28, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Detector Lock designed by John Wilkes in 1680 is in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam

See http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/04/21/17th-century-smart-lock-was-really-smart.html and https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/BK-NM-678. Apparently the history and science of detector locks involves more than the Chubb detector lock. -motorfingers- 22:20, 21 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Motorfingers (talk • contribs)
