These locks, made in a heavily stylistic shape, are the pinnacle of Dwarven manufacture. They rarely pass out of Dwarven hands, as they are so incredibly valuable. It is said that one was given to an Elven prince once, who used to fasten a door. The dwarves who gifted it to him were so incensed that they have established a rivalry between their races for many generations. These locks are functionally un-pickable. The locks and keys are made of enchanted adamantium, and incorporate internal moving clockwork parts, as well as magical recognition systems between the key and lock. They are valued in the hundreds of thousands of gold pieces, and possessing the lock or key alone is a powerful status symbol. Possessing one of each makes you fabulously wealthy. It is also said that a Gnome has invented a way to bypass the lock. Thieves Guilds the world over are vying for the inventor’s attention and patronage, while the Dwarven nations are outraged by the very notion, as well as the practical application of such knowledge.
