Gadgets with FACES #92: An array of safety equipment in Amsterdam

The eyebrows suggest this face was created on purpose by a mischievous installation technician HELL BENT on subverting the system. Eyebrows virtually never occur on gadgets naturally.

"Here's a picture of appalling quality taken on my phone. I'm not sure what the portrayed mechanism is supposed to do but my guess is that it is for guarding the door and freaking out the customers at a post office in Amsterdam, where I took this picture. Next time I go there I'll try and remember to bring my real camera" - Paul.

It appears to have two identical key holes. The only other gadget I've seen that had two identical key holes was a NUCLEAR BOMB.
