Unfortunately, the upper anchorage portion of the locks I was inspecting is located in a recess in the lock wall. You can see it from afar in the third and fourth pics-where the linkage is. Luckily I didn't run into any of the serpentine critters in close quarters. Just lots of grease and spiders.

Fortunately for me. . .

I have one of those jobs where most days I think to myself "I can't believe they pay me to do this!"

Two thoughts when I looked at this:

1. What an interesting job you've got.
2. What could I have dropped on that snake at that angle to have killed it. Man, I h-a-t-e snakes.
