Design for a Lock for the Door to My Kids' Fort

Context

My kids, my father, and I together built a pretty cool fort. It is not complete yet, but it is enclosed and has a door. The problem, however, is that the door does not lock (or even latch!)

The Fort

The fort is elevated 4' off the ground. Structural designs for the fort are managed in (TODO: Create Project)

The Door

In previous forts (see this blog post) I've used a screen-door type setup wtih a spring to pull the door closed. However, for this design I want to provide a little bit more security and weather-resistance.

Stakeholders

Me and my kids are the primary stakeholders. I am concerned about the safety of my kids and security of our property. My kids are concerned about having fun with the fort.

Engineering Approach

This project is a good excuse to learn some new technologies and to play around with model-based systems engineering tools on a soup-to-nuts project.
