FRIDAY FACT:

The oldest known lock dates back 4,000 years ago and was found in ruins near NINEVAH.

The predecessor of the Egyptian pin lock was primitive in nature.

It’s likely the locks older than this artefact have not been found. This may be because the most basic locks were a slab of wood that fit in a slot. If found today by archaeologists today, a slab of wood is unlikely to be recognised as a lock.
