Six people can have their own lock and each one can open the gate.

Jokes on them I have a bolt cutter and I can open all the locks.
I dunno about 15 and 18
Why not use the same key?
This is Genius, I think I need this with my roommates
This might be the dumbest solution to this problem I have ever seen.
Topology is cool 😃
I’ve used a contraption just like this touring a rural home with some acreage for sale and it works!
this is pretty common
Far simpler to replace the main rod with a piece of chain and then just chain the rest of the locks together
I’ve seen someone do something similar with padlocks on a farm gate – each lock becomes a link in a chain. You need a key to open an existing lock, then add your own padlock and voila! You have access via your own lock to whatever the lock-chain is securing.
Peak Facebook content.
The caption is usually “which lock releases the steel rod? 9/10 people get this wrong!”
Not that interesting
Well. In my project, I use this method for safety procedures. 2 engineers, 3 safety officers, 1 expert, all have their own padlocks for loto.
Pretty Good

Here you only need to open one lock
I saw this on Chris Borden’s channel. And that’s pretty cool
The locks are all masterkeyed

Yeah they should definitely invest in some sort of electronic key fob system . This was a joke, plz don’t crucify
Haha! This is commonly used as an example of logic gates for computer programing 101z
What the door lock looks like in horror movies.
Should we just get six keys made?
Wait… I have a great idea
So we know who didn’t lock it?
15 and 18 I’d be annoyed having those, looks like it takes extra effort to remove the metal plate.
There are all sorts of designs for this purpose. I’ve seen a lot of them similar to this picture on gates on DNR and other federal land. They’re also pretty common on land that hunters share. When someone should no longer have access, you cut off their lock and replace it.

Relatable
This is very common on ranches although I’ve mostly seen it in a wheel configuration. This one seems needlessly complicated to me (when I takeoff my lock, there’s a chance I’m now holding up to 4 individual and usually weighty pieces of metal).
The reason you don’t just have one key is that there’s several people that are accessing the land and this gives the owner control over who gets access and when. For example, you could have several hunters with leases on the property, an oil and gas company that needs to access their wells, several ranch hands, construction crews, etc. The owner can now select which locks to have on the gate therefore giving or removing access as they’d like
Why not use same key? I see these used at cell towers. Multiple contractors can access many sites using “their” common key. Saves everyone from carrying 100s of different keys.

I don’t see how 15 and 18 will achieve anything by removing the lock
How exactly does one put this back on after going inside?
