Modular Lock System
A modular lock assembly for placement in an opening in a frame of a cabinet locker that is located adjacent to a door of the cabinet locker. The modular lock assembly includes a mounting plate for removeably being positioned in the opening. A locking plate is moveably connected to the mounting plate. An electromechanical actuator is connected to the mounting plate and coupled with the locking plate to automatically provide the movement of the locking plate. An input device is electrically connected to the electromechanical actuator for activating the electromechanical actuator in response to inputs. The mounting plate defines a custodian opening for receiving a custodian lock for locking the mounting plate to the frame. At least one tongue extends from the mounting plate in spaced relationship with the custodian opening for engaging the frame for further securing the mounting plate to the frame.

Sidebit operated interchangeable core control lug
A retention mechanism for retaining a lock cylinder in a lock housing. The retention mechanism includes a control lug, a control pin, and a finger pin. A portion of the control lug is configured to be positioned in a retention recess of the lock housing when the control lug is in an engagement position to prevent the removal of the lock cylinder from the lock housing. With the control lug in the engaged position, at least a portion of the control pin may be biased into a chamber of the control lug to retain the control lug at the engaged position. When the control lug is to be displaced from the engaged position, the finger pin may be lifted to an activation position, such as by a sidebit of a key, wherein the finger pin may removably displace the control pin from at least a portion of the chamber.

Key and core with cam blocking
A lock core includes a shell, a plug within and rotatable relative to the shell between a first position and a second position about a longitudinal axis of the plug, and a lock. The lock has a first locked position preventing rotation of the plug relative to the shell, an unlocked position allowing rotation of the plug relative to the shell and a second locked position different from the first locked position preventing rotation of the plug relative to the shell. The lock is moveable from the first locked position preventing rotation of the plug relative to the shell to the unlocked position with a first movement of the lock, the first movement having a vector component along the longitudinal axis of the plug and a vector component along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the plug.

Swivel lever device and system for actuating a closure apparatus of an access control device
The invention relates to a swivel lever device for actuating a closure apparatus, in particular a bolt-closure means and/or bar-closure means, of an access control device, in particular a door and/or hatch, having: a housing for fastening the swivel lever device, in particular to the access control device, and a swivel lever for actuating the closure apparatus, the swivel lever be movable relative to the housing between an arresting position and an actuation position for actuating the closure apparatus, the swivel lever in the actuation position being pivotable about an actuation axis relative to the housing, a locking mechanism for securing the swivel lever against unauthorised movement from the arresting position into the actuation position being provided, and the locking mechanism comprising at least one locking element, which can be moved between a locked position for interlockingly blocking the movement of the swivel lever from the arresting position to the actuation position and an unlocked position for releasing the movement of the swivel lever from the arresting position into the actuation position. To achieve better protection against damage and contamination, according to the invention the locking element includes at least one locking magnet for moving the locking element from the locked position into the unlocked position by means of the magnetic interaction between the locking magnet and at least one unlocking magnet of a corresponding key unit.

REKEYABLE LOCK CYLINDER WITH DOUBLE SIDED KEYWAY
A rekeyable lock cylinder with a cylinder body and a rotatable plug assembly is provided. The plug assembly includes a plurality of first key followers and a corresponding plurality of first racks for operation of a first locking bar. Additionally, the plug assembly includes a plurality of second key followers and a corresponding plurality of second racks for operation of a second locking bar. The first and second key followers and first and second racks can be rekeyed while the plug assembly is disposed within the cylinder body. The first and second key followers face each other within a keyway opening of the plug assembly and are independently operable.
