7-7 Return of the Bridge - What am I missing?

Got the first bridge move to work but then the right side breaks and collapses. I don't know if I'm missing anything with my split joints?? I've tried different joint numbers and that just makes it worse.

is there a reason why splitting this irrelevant joint cause my entire bridge to disintegrate?

Lock and key… and pick!

I have finally returned from my long break after being inspired by Arglin’s post and long metro commutes in China (the internet was… not the best). I know the lock design isn’t very practical as it involves moving the casing instead of the cylinder, but I couldn’t get the custom shapes to behave without pinning them in place (this is my first time seriously working with CS and I would definitely benefit from some pointers :p). In a more realistic design the casing would be fixed, the latch would be attached to the cylinder, and the lock would be opened by pushing the key further in after setting the pins

The bitting of the keys are in base 7 because I realized I only had enough space for seven cut depths lmao
