Actually I am attached to the lock icons. :-) I think they are the best
solution to the problem that our 3D icons work best with objects. A
free-standing door is not as nice as an "object", since it really needs the
surounding wall. IIRC, I did first try to do a 3D door with door frame,
before I settled with the locks. And I do even like them lock icons, they
don't feel like a compromise to me.
Best regards,
