Multiple keylocks could mean that multiple keylocks are connected to  
your system.  The "closedness" of the system could then be determined  
by the keylock that is "the most closed".  Probably some sort of  
policy would be needed.

Maybe two people have a key to a system (different keys).  Only if  
both of them put their keys in and turn the lock to their destined  
position, a system is open.
