Hi guys silly question this as I should no the answer, but my son has just asked me what then technical term is for the locking wheels they have on submarine doors doors is "the ones like the steering wheel of a car". and for the life of me I can't think what it is. Hope (know) you lot will be able to help me out here, thanks in advance. Roger. |

I would say watertight door or bulkhead door. Also possibly manway or manlid for storage tanks. |

Apparently, it's a rotating dog lever: hnsa.org/doc/doors/index.htm I admit that I never would have guessed that for the official nomenclature. My money was on "watertight compartment door locking wheel" or some such. |

I have only heard them referred to a "locking wheels". Turning the wheel engages (or disengages) the clips or dogs, which hold the hatch or door closed. |

rotating dog lever hence "Dogging the hatch" and similar lines in submarine films (I have no clue if that phrase is actually used on ships and submarines…) |

Many thanks guys I kept thinking of locking wheels but I also kept thinking that "dogging" had some connection but I thought that might just be my filthy mind! Nice to know that I don't just lean that way by accident. Cheers Roger. |

Ah so there is a meaning to the term 'dogging' that doesnt involve a bit of 'free love' in car parks. |

I think on Deadliest Catch a crab pot came out of the 'dog' and fell on deck. There it is some sort of clamp that holds the pot. |

'Dog' as a mechanism can be found in 'Doglock Musket'. Druzhina |
