Yes, there is. Make it and then ask for criticism. No person can pick a lock that doesn't exist.

try to explain it. if you can't verbalize it you'll have a tough time producing it, and even simple line drawings will be a huge help to us understanding it.

you can of course hire a patent atty to write up the idea, or get a provisional patent for 100 in the usa, but chances are something similar has been done.

personally i've bounced around a few ideas, and found extant things that were similar and used those and the advice of folks to refine my thoughts.

complex systems are bound to fail.

hidden unknown dangers exist.

interactions between parts and subsystems can often not be predicted until failure occurs.
