risalit (projection / projection part)

Explanation:
Ein Risalit, (ital. risalto, „Vorsprung“) ist ein auf ganzer Höhe hervorspringender Gebäudeteil.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risalit

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/architecture/465...

A risalit, from the Italian risalto for "projection", is a part of a building that juts out from a great height, which became used in architecture for the construction of façades in the baroque period.

projection

Explanation:
In architecture this would be the meaning (cf. Langenscheidts Fachwörterbuch Architektur & Bauwesen/Großer Duden), but I'm afraid I don't know how it links up with locks.
