    Also, for good design, you should make your class fields in Lock private and write getter and setter methods for them for other classes to use.

The issue is that you are not closing the locks once you open them successfully. Change your calls to this:-



lock1.close();
lock2.close();
lock1.open(111); // opens lock1
lock2.open(222); // opens lock2111
lock1.close(); // NEW ADDITION
lock2.close(); // NEW ADDITION
lock1.open(123); // fails to open
lock1.open(456); // fails to open
lock1.open(789); // fails - prints “Alarm”


To further improve the code, reset numAttempts = 0 in your open() when this.key == key. And remove this.key != key because it is always true due to the previous if condition.
