    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.

    I think the design idea generalizes to an arbitrary number of locks.

          Amazing how peaceful they looked, before being introduced to air. I guess it was the air that set them off.

                      Caravaggio.

                      The freckles look a little off this close up (though I bet they look great a little further away). But damn. Look at that detail. The little moisture in the corner of the eye. The curvature of the nostril. Amazing.

                        Snowy owl with stunning colors captured in photographs. Now experts argue over how the colors came about.

                              Common sense, but nice to see it put down in one place.
