The Iron Maiden of Nuremberg's Lock

Origin
Taken from the remnants of the Iron Maiden of Nuremberg after the allied bombing of Nuremberg in 1944, which after so many years of usage since at least the 16th century, the lock became imbued with its original owners ability to keep people inside a closed area with spikes. Artie stated that sometime after the destruction of the Iron Maiden in 1944, the lock was swept up and bounced around Europe for the last 20 years before being collected by morphine addict, Douglas Bathurst of Day Valley, CA in which was stolen by two Warehouse 13 agents somehow over powering them and stealing the antiques. After then it was layed into the hands of Milton V. Laswell which set off a chain reaction of unfortunate events. After that it was lost, until 2016, when it was found to be in the hands of Nicholas Laswell the son of Milton.

Effects
Has the power to create rough iron spikes in a closed environment (rooms with open windows do not seem to work with the artifact, but closed ones do) by locking the door leading in or out with the lock. Turning the key activates the spikes holding everything in place and turning the lock back cancels the effect. The original key must be used, making the lock and key a type of bifurcated artifact.

Collection
Collected by agents Arthur Nielson and Claudia Donovan after nearly being killed by the artifact, the lock and key were used by a copy of Nicholas Laswell (using the one of the Gutenberg Keys) to lock Artie, Claudia and two other bystanders in a room. Artie knowing the effects just before they were going to take place, grabbed Claudia and embraced her, while the form fitting spikes surrounded them, giving Claudia enough room to shoot a closed window with the Tesla, canceling the effects. It is now housed in the Torture Section of the Warehouse.
