Hello, all
Has anybody considered a locking mechanism (for the wing lockers) similar to the one in the attached drafts?
Comments, thoughts? Pictures??
Idle minds want to know... 
Happy building

Hello Carlos:
Only one thought comes to mind: the alignment of all those locking pins simultaneously while pushing down and turning the lock handle might be tough to engineer to work properly. As I recall the baggage locker cover is not flat, so all that all those sliding locking pin assemblies will have to be curved as well. Certainly not impossible, but all these things add weight as well as convenience.
The locking pins will have to be self-aligning while still providing enough push to secure the cover. I'm thinking more of a 'sliding wedge" design pushing individually spring-loaded locking pins - accomplishing this on three sides simultaneously with one rotating handle will require some exciting linkage!
Just my two cents worth.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but that looks like a latching mechanism. If it's a locking mechanism where do you insert the key or enter the combination or speak the secret open sesme words?

Carlos,
What comes to mind is the door of a safe. This mechanism is favored by
people who have to secure a
solid door and weight is not a consideration. At the other side of the
equation you might just consider
Velcro. Dzus fasteners work really well and are especially light for
the kind of security they offer.
They are also really easy to install.
