How do chest locks work?
A wooden bolt slides horizontally in double wooden or metal brackets on the inside of the chest. The key is inserted through a slot in the front of the chest and then into a notch on the bolt. It is then a simple matter to shift the bolt sideways to lock the bracket of the lid in place or release it.
