I remember the one front loader our Laundromat had. That thing was big enough to hold a family of 4, including their clothes!! I don't remember it having any kind of lock on the door either. The water level would go half way up the window in the door. The only time my Mom used it was for blankets, and that kind of thing. I think that was the main purpose for them at that time. It was safe to wash handmade quilts in them too, since they didn't have an agitator.
