A rotatable lock pin that inhibits forced entry into a container through a closure by securing the lock pin to the container. A lock pin has a pin cylinder with a curvature of rotation that engages with a rotation facilitator. The path of the curvature of rotation and the engagement of the rotation facilitator therewith causes the lock pin to rotate in a pre-determined fashion, so that structures on the lock pin can engage or attach to some part of the container to secure the position of the lock pin and hold the closure door in place. Lock pins of the subject invention utilized with safes can inhibit forced entry through the door by side punching or prying of the door.

1. A lock pin mechanism for securing a closure to a structure, the lock pin mechanism comprising: a carriage on the closure and within the structure;at least one pin cylinder affixed to the carriage, each pin cylinder comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a curvature of rotation therebetween,
1. A lock pin mechanism for securing a closure to a structure, the lock pin mechanism comprising: a carriage on the closure and within the structure;at least one pin cylinder affixed to the carriage, each pin cylinder comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a curvature of rotation therebetween, the pin cylinder being linearly moveable along a longitudinal axis of the pin cylinder;a rotation facilitator on the closure that engages with the curvature of rotation, anda rotating connector apparatus at the proximal end that rotatably attaches the proximal end of the pin cylinder to the carriage; such that each pin cylinder is independently rotatably attached to the carriage and is moveable, by the carriage, along the longitudinal axis of each respective pin cylinder, causing each rotation facilitator engaged with the curvature of rotation of each respective pin cylinder to rotate each pin cylinder on the carriage and around the longitudinal axis of the respective pin cylinder, so as to engage each pin cylinder with the structure. 2. The lock pin mechanism, according to claim 1, wherein the pin cylinder has a non-circular circumference and the curvature of rotation comprises a twist, such that the distal end is rotated relative to the proximal end. 3. The lock pin mechanism, according to claim 2, wherein the rotation facilitator is a pin hole through which the pin cylinder is disposed, wherein the pin hole is configured to engage with the twist as the pin cylinder moves linearly, so as to cause the pin cylinder to rotate. 4. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 2, wherein the twist has a turn radius of between approximately 45° and approximately 270°. 5. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 4, wherein the twist has a turn radius of between 60° and 120°. 6. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 1, further comprising a latch fixedly connected to the distal end of the at least one pin cylinder, where the orientation of the latch is controlled simultaneously with the rotation of the pin cylinder. 7. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 6, wherein the latch engages with the structure when the pin cylinder rotates. 8. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 7, wherein the closure is a safe door and the structure is a door panel frame on the safe. 9. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 6, further comprising at least one key hole in the structure through which the latch passes when the pin cylinder moves longitudinally, such that, as the pin cylinder continues to move longitudinally, the latch simultaneously engages with the structure and becomes misaligned with the key hole to inhibit the latch from backing through the key hole and disengaging with the structure. 10. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 9, wherein the key hole and the latch have similar circumferential shapes, such that the latch fits through the key hole only when the latch and key hole are aligned. 11. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 9, further comprising a strike plate adapted to be attached inside the structure, the strike plate comprising the at least one key hole such that the latch engages with the strike plate. 12. The lock pin mechanism, according to claim 1, further comprising a shouldered indent having at least one annular shoulder at or about the distal end of the pin cylinder. 13. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 12, further comprising an inclined surface within the pin cylinder that terminates at the annular shoulder. 14. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 12, further comprising two annular shoulders on each end of the inclined surface. 15. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the curvature of rotation comprises at least one cam track. 16. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 15, wherein the rotation facilitator comprises at least one cam guide. 17. The lock pin mechanism according to claim 16, wherein the cam track comprises a straight run portion for moving the pin cylinder without rotation and a curved run portion for rotating the pin cylinder. 18. The lock pin mechanism, according to claim 17, wherein the cam track comprises an entirely curved run. 19. A method for securing a closure to a structure, the method comprising: utilizing at least one lock pin mechanism, according to claim 1,advancing the carriage so that the independently rotatable pin cylinder of the at leas one lock in mechanism moves along the longitudinal axis of the pin cylinder, such that the rotation facilitator engaged with the curvature of rotation of the pin cylinder of the at least one lock pin mechanism causes the pin cylinder to rotate on the carriage, so as to engage the pin cylinder with the structure. 20. A safe comprising: a safe body having a hollow interior and a safe door;a locking mechanism on the safe door that is operated to control the movement of at least one carriage in the hollow interior; andat least one lock pin mechanism, according to claim 1, where the lock pin mechanism rotatably attached to the at least one carriage and the engages with the safe body.
