How it's made

Source
a spring-loaded bolt snapping home in a lock. Two contacts: the bolt hitting its stop (a 1–2 ms damped thud) and, a few ms later, the latch tongue seating in the strike plate (a sharper 1 ms tick).
Body
the steel housing rings in a few damped inharmonic modes (1.2–5.5 kHz, 20–60 ms) for the metallic latch; the mounting plate adds a low solid "thunk" (110–260 Hz sine, ≈ 40 ms) that makes the click firm.
Envelope
attack under 1 ms; thunk and modes are damped within 40–90 ms; a soft final settle at ≈ 0.1 s (latch spring) keeps it from sounding like a single bare click. Whole event under 0.25 s.
Variation
`rng` mistunes the modes ±3 % and jitters the settle timing; `weight` moves the body from a light screen lock to a heavy vault bolt, `metal` sets how bright and ringing the latch is.
