Padlock Lock Checkbox

A padlock drawn with two spans: unchecked, the shackle swings open on its left leg; checked, it snaps shut with a small clunk and the body fills with the accent. Good for locking layers or files.

Also known as: lock unlock checkbox css, padlock toggle css, lock icon animation css.

Customizing this snippet

  • Color: set --chk-color on the element or a parent. Currently previewing #3b82f6.
  • Size: set --chk-size. Every other dimension is in em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 24px.
  • Speed: change the duration on the transition or animation shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
  • Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
