I was discussing theatre words with another stage hand and we decided that no coffin that we have seen has had a coffin lock - so why are they called coffin locks and not riser locks?

 

Please help?

I think but don't know this for a fact.

 

they could have been used at a latter date to lock cofins so cofin robers couldn't get in. cofin robers used to dig up corpses and robe them of any posesions thy were burried with. so this could be were they got there name.

do they have some sort of release key or something or is it brute force?

I could see these being useful any idea where I can get some?
