English term

Warded lock

English to Arabic Tech/Engineering Linguistics
The warded lock is one of the oldest lock designs which can be found as far back as ancient China and Rome. During the Middle Ages they were used prolifically on monasteries where, because money and time were not issues, their complexity grew. Warded locks are still in use today in the UK and Ireland for low security applications, and on heritage sites such as ancient monuments and churches to preserve original features, with primary security being provided by other means such as a lever lock mechanism installed alongside.

مغلاق

Since it is something vintage that dates back to ancient times and used for low security applications, I think معلاق or مزلاج fits better in this context.
