These are always pretty simple. It's probably a one piece crank- turned from the inside with a simple latch. There's nothing on the outside to keep that block in place but on the inside there would be, effectively blocking/locking the door from both sides.

...BTW, I initially read that as what I wanted, as "love the red Ned" oops. Yeah, it was a bit bright , toned it down on the lower section. ---------------------------------------- Uploaded a new Skylarking theme and retrieved and updated the first Apple Venus 1 theme. kept the default on Wasp Star but choose what you like

I'm trying out the Apple Venus wallpaper right now. Much easier on the eyes than the Wasp Star one.

(Second day in a row where I swear I posted something and came back to find it missing.)
In any case...
New default.
Not sure it's any better than others- the highly customized "much less red" Nonsuch theme.
But I had to almost completely make it from scratch- no templates. Found the Illustration I wanted (from Chalkhills/OPtimism's Flames/Wes Hanks)- it's the cover illustration to the book that gave Andy the inspiration for the album cover- I think his personal copy), a parchment background- and the damn font which caused much annoyance. I just didn't want to use the default font, just didn't seem appropriate. Only thing missing is that I kinda wanted to integrate the Difappointed figure into it. Australia made a brilliant display case for the single that could have been adapted, if I could have found the right image version.
So, used as the default not because it looks the best, but because it gave me the most trouble.

And while trying to get tricky, been royally messinng up some of the colors.... white text, red text, pea green backgrounds...
I simply do not quite get what some of the choices actually refer to. I should be getting things fixed. If anything, especially on the Nonsuch theme, looks messed up, send me a note.
...what I wanted to do was to make the menu bars black with white text... but it doesn't seem to be a choice.

I'm not being rude Ned. And you are a fine man for running a forum for so few. And I thank you for that. But we don't give a flying fuck about banners and colours, just keep that red away will ya. What we care about is our small community and how you make it happen. Not saying we can't tinker a bit. But seriously, thank you. You are appreciated.

You'll care about banners and colors when you can't read anything because the letters and background are the same or close to them. Tell me if I accidentally did that.
As for the red. Sorry about the letters turning red for awhile but I like the dark red I'm using for WS and Nonsuch. I hope those aren't what are bothering you. The colors are dictated by colors in the top illustration]
But all due respect, are WE the Queen now? If you don't like the new themes go to your settings and keep it on ES. The instructions are in this thread and in the News banner up top.

But we don't give a flying fuck about a damn thing you say or do. That suggestion you made and I listened to? Love how you showed your appreciation by pointing out that you still don't like it. Not saying we can't avoid saying thank you without saying a single actual thing you're thankful for. But seriously, thank you for telling me that I'm doing a good job by only telling me how little you like the job I'm doing. You are appreciated. I hope you see how nice I'm being!

Oh dear. It's getting a little dark. Shall we forget the last few posts, and start again? I'd like that.
