Correct it would probably be more of a latch. Possibly a spring loaded latch? Started thinking about incorporating magnetics and ball bearings to maybe have the ball bearing movement release the latch.

The idea is when the bucket is turned upside down the lock unlocks an the lid opens freely

I will research key-tumbler locks. Attached are my first couple drawings... they probably aren't close I will continue trying.

Hi thank you and yes for a class...it is for a bucket. I'd like the top of the bucket to stay locked unless it is flipped upside down.

TL;DR Summary: Want a lock that unlocks when flipped upside down As the TL;DR summary says, I am trying to come up with a design for a lock that unlocks when it is flipped upside down. I've looked into spring loaded locks and different lever devices but no luck. Hoping someone can assist...
