This is the sound of a wooden door with a 5 leaver lock being opened, closed, unlocked and relocked. You will hear the door opening, closing and with the key in the lock and key turning. 192khz 24bit stereo wav.
A small padlock being opened and closed. This is one of multiple similar sounds in the same sound pack. Cc0, so no need to give credit. If you want, let me know what you used the sounds for as i really like hearing about other people's projects :).
Effect-free recording of myself reading from 'on the development and distribution of primitive locks and keys' by pitt-rivers. Text from project gutenberg, in the public domain.
Someone uses a bunch of keys to open a padlock that keeps a metal gate closed in the countryside. Once opened, the lock squeaks and is closed again. Recorded with sony pcm-d50.
A recording of my grandfather's old pendulum wall clock, made in about 1926. The mechanism is worn and ticks unevenly, with occasional clunks from damaged cogwheel teeth. Recorded from inside the case, it is entirely unedited so contains slight ambient noise.
Semi drives by on the highway. I tried to edit out some of the background noise, but you still hear a flag snapping in the wind a bit. However, if you layer this on top of some ambient highway noise, it shouldn't be noiticeable.
In order, the first sound is the turning of a doorknob and opening an exterior door; the second is the closing and latching of the same door; the third is the engagement of a deadbolt lock, and the fourth is the disengagement of the deadbolt. Recorded with an iphone and external microphone.
