Based on the provided reference (a YouTube video excerpt), the push button lock mechanism involves internal components that are activated by pressing the buttons. Specifically, pressing a button releases a "line in the middle" which is worth bird troubles and "the low kick the nocturnes that pushes releases the like in his object." While the reference is somewhat vague and uses metaphorical language, we can infer the following general principles:
In general, a push button lock, which is also known as a digital push button lock, works using a series of internal latches, levers, and pins. Here’s a breakdown of the workings:
- Button Press: When you press a button, it moves an internal component associated with that number or symbol.
- Combination Setup: Only pressing the correct combination of buttons will align these internal components in a way that allows the lock to open.
- Release Mechanism: When the correct buttons are pressed, the aligned components trigger a release mechanism. This mechanism retracts the bolt or latch, allowing the door to open. This relates to the line in the excerpt that "pushes releases the like in his object"
- Reset: After the lock is opened, the mechanism usually resets itself, requiring the correct combination to be entered again for the next use.
Therefore, a digital push button lock works through a series of levers, pins and components within the lock such that, only after the specific combination is entered, will the lock open.
