I can visualise the broken part so the description is useful, but I don't remember coming across the term "tuning fork" in connection with paddle gear before. I wonder what note the tuning fork would sound if struck? Perhaps, when it is repaired, one could hope that the lock would then be "on song".
They did it just to give you a most excellent punning opportunity
