Satya Prakash, has small lock-making unit in his house at Naurangabad colony, said, “I have been making locks since childhood. I got the idea of making a giant lock for the temple since it would be a unique thing”. Currently, the locksmith is all dwelled in making minor additions and providing finishing touch to his “creation”. “I’m looking for someone who could contribute towards the purchase of steel and brass,” he said. However, he has kept the lock outside his house . A senior member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Dr Anil Mishra, said that he will “need to speak to others in trust before commenting on whether the lock can be accepted”.
