A locking mechanism includes a hasp having a tongue disposed along a first side of the hasp, and a captive latch pin protruding from the hasp disposed away from the tongue. The locking mechanism includes an actuator assembly with a captive latch and an actuator configured to manipulate the captive latch. The captive latch may receive the captive latch pin of the hasp. A body locking mechanism can obstruct access to at least a portion of the hasp and the actuator assembly, wherein the hasp may slidably move when the captive latch pin is not retained by the captive latch, and wherein a retention of the captive latch pin by the captive latch arrests the slidable movement of the hasp.

The disclosure generally relates to a system and method for randomly generating unlock codes and identifiers for locks, and creating unlock code and identifier pairs. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention is integrated with, or part of, a distributed management system that controls access to various locations, such as, for example, self-storage units, hotel rooms, apartment buildings, storage containers, short-term housing rentals, lockers, equipment rooms, vaults, hospitals, airports, government facilities, nuclear power facilities, water treatment facilities, weapon storage facilities, aircraft cockpits, and any other setting that requires restricted, selective, or monitored access that can be remotely controlled, whereby users can request an unlock code via text messaging using a mobile device.
