            @jon-nyc Is the video sped up? The writing says "30 seconds" but the video is only 15 seconds.

            Even so, still impressive!!!!!

                                      Yeah they do but it took me a minute. Those flat metal pieces go through a slot in the bottom horizontal bar. If you slide either of them out you can slide the bar out. Both locks need to be secured to prevent sliding them out.

                                        ... and you can spin the shaft to slide the bar out.

                                          So it would seem, but you can't slide the bar out from the bottom. The hasp is in the way. So again, the bottom two don't do anything.
