I'm guessing it would be to prevent small children from opening the keyboard cover and potentially crushing their fingers. I've done it enough as an adult. :P

While holidaying in Hawaii a few years ago, there was a rather lonely grand piano in a quiet section of the very upmarket hotel that we were staying at.
My friends had asked many times for me to entertain them with some background cocktail piano. One evening I eventually agreed, and started playing a couple of Jobim's standards. After a short while, a very large female security guard arrived, and while I was playing and without any notice, slammed the fall on my fingers. I guessed that meant she didn't like Antonio Carlos' music, or something similar.
Frankly, the real reason she did it was 'because she could'
I wished that they had that device back then. Would've saved me a lot of pain.

''because she could''? I would have sued the hotel and the "security" guard (after I had her arrested). No one has the right to assault you.

So, no one is admitting it's their playing?

"If so why?" Obviously, you've never heard me play.

We used one at an Omni Hotel. I played solo piano in the restaurant/bar for 7 years. It was to insure that I and my Sunday sub were the only ones to play it. Prior to the lock, a guest spilled a drink into the piano while banging on it. Cost a good penny to fix. Ray

I agree with Bob (90db) that a lawsuit was in order! You had witnesses, the hotel was liable for the behavior of its employees, she was clearly out of line to inflict physical pain on you... and the hotel most likely had deep pockets and/or insurance to cover such things.
I'm not normally an advocate of taking legal action.. I'm more inclined to suck it up and move on.. but that was so utterly wrong and unnecessary and purposefully punitive... it deserved a punitive response.
My 2 cents.

I would have put two legal complaints, one by abuse and another for not appreciating the art of Maestro Antonio Carlos
