It's totally feasible. Check this out. The only real difference between your design and this one is that the end cap can be removed when the lock is open, the rings pulled off, and their orientations changed by the user. Just buy one of those locks for some "research".
Ah that's awesome people are going to love it. I would make the difficulty low, and the time limit 15-30 minutes, so you can move people in quickly and they can enjoy it, rather then feel frustrated. Also you have to think of how long it takes you to reset all the locks. (maybe ask them to put all used clues in a bucket
My suggestion for a theme would be Zombie Apocalypse, you can find decorations at any party store or on Amazon. The mission can be to save an injured classmate trapped in the other room.
My idea is make the room very dark(maybe no natural lights at all). Give everyone lanterns and/or flashlights. If the lantern has settings turn it on the lowest one. They have to figure out to turn the lantern all the way on to make it easier.
First clue should be a key hidden in a pretty obvious area. That key opens the first lock. Opening the lock gives them a cipher. Hide lamented cards with numbers or letters to a combination. On the lamented cards have dots or symbols that correspond to the cipher. Once they put the cipher and the numbers together they should be able to open their second lock.
The second lock should open a box with a flash light with a black light bulb. They will use the black light to find their next clue. Since your in a school I would recommend using student I.D. cards. Write the combination on the I.D. cards with invisible ink. This will get them through the first door.
Once they are through the first door I would have multiple puzzles to work on, maybe a crossword with your school related answers. Bold five boxes in the crossword, those boxes are the answer to the alphabetical pad lock. (if they are smart they will only find the answers needed to fill the bolded boxes and ignore the rest of the crossword)
That word lock opens a box with a piece of paper that says =12. In invisible writing on the walls are different algebraic formulas like (^ +=13), (^ x #=2), (#+^ =%). (So *=12) (^ =1) (#=2) and (%=3). So the final combination to get out would be written on the door (^ ,#,%) or (1,2,3).
Some side notes. I would only give them one black light and one dry erase board, so unorganized groups will be slowed down. Also it's cheaper.
For the "locked doors" just wrap a bike lock or and rope around the handle and explain no doors will be locked for safety reasons, but to succeed in their mission these locks have to be opened.
Explain they get three free clues. Give them a walkie talkie, so they can call you in.
To add a little more stress to the situation and add to the theme I would bang on the door periodically and make zombies sounds. This will scare some, adding anxiety and confusion, but will also make people laugh and bond.
If you have a group waiting have them come up with team names and aliases.
Create Posters that say things like "I escaped" or "I was the brains of the operation" for people to take group photos after they escape or not.
Good luck and I hope you post photos!
I've just used cheap indoor locks and replaced them after 3-4 years when they get hard to use.
Got about 3 years out of this one.
