Often there are limitations on the number of trials within a time span, especially if the hash is considerably short. But that could mean that the door is completely blocked for a certain time span if you fail. Thats maybe why there is a real lock next to the numberlock in the above image.
It is not said wether there is a blocking taking place for this numberlock. Probably not. ?
