Keyless puck lock apparatus and system
A keyless puck lock apparatus with wireless communications and power interfaces. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a keyless puck lock system enabling a low cost and high security solution that is difficult to tamper with and defeat. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system uses a keyless puck lock assembly that includes a hasp assembly and a keyless lock mechanism that does not require any physical mechanical keys so that it does not have a mechanical cylinder inserted therein to lock or unlock the puck lock. Accordingly, the keyless puck lock system in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention does not have a physical keyway which is a security attack point that is included in conventional hockey puck-type locks.
System and Method for Integrating Key Access Control of Legacy Lockable Articles into a Control System and Associated Lock Boxes
The present disclosure sets forth a system for integrating key access control of a plurality of legacy lockable articles into a tool control system. The system can comprise a plurality of lock boxes each associated with a respective legacy lockable article. Each of the plurality of lock boxes can be configured to selectively lock and unlock access to a key operable to facilitate access to the respective legacy lockable article. The system can further comprise a programmable logic controller communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of lock boxes. The programmable logic controller can be operable to send control instructions to the plurality of lock boxes to lock or unlock access to the key.
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL LOCK CORE WITH A CAM MEMBER TAILPIECE
A removable lock core for use with a lock device having a locked state and an unlocked state is disclosed. The removeable lock core may include a cam member tailpiece which is moveable between a first position relative to a lock core body which corresponds to the lock device being in the locked state and a second position relative to a lock core body which permits removal of the removeable lock core from the lock device which corresponds to the lock device being in the unlocked state. The removeable lock core may include an electro-mechanical drive assembly which in a disengaged state is decoupled from the cam member tailpiece and in an engaged state is coupled to the cam member tailpiece. A cam lock having a locked state and an unlocked state for use with a catch is disclosed.
DOOR HASP LOCK AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
A door hasp lock includes a first lock plate having a first flange and a first shield. A second lock plate is detachably engaged with the first lock plate and has a second flange detachably engaged with the first flange. The second lock plate has a third flange. The first lock plate and the second lock plate are engaged and disengaged when disposed at an operating locked state and a non-operating unlocked state, respectively. The third flange is spaced apart from the first flange and the second flange while the door hasp lock is disposed at both the operating locked state as well as the non-operating unlocked state. The third flange may be attached to either the first lock plate or second lock plate and has at least one feature that permits the third flange to break away from the second lock plate when tampered by an unauthorized user.

Remotely controlled container lock, system and method
Method, container corner lock and system for fastening a first container corner casting of a first container and a corresponding second container corner casting of a second container. The first container is stacked on the second container. The container corner lock includes: a first protruding part; including a first locking for fixing the first protruding part into the first recess; a second protruding part, including a second locking for fixing the second protruding part into the second recess; an electric motor configured to block or unblock the movement of at least one of the locking means; a first wireless transceiver; a processing circuit configured to receive the signal from the wireless transceiver and generate a command for operating the electric motor and a second wireless transceiver or transponder with a shorter range than said first wireless transceiver.
Chain lock
A chain lock includes a top part pivotably connected to a bottom part. An engaging member is located in the bottom part. A lock cylinder, a rotary member and a rod are connected to each other. A torsion spring is biased between the lock cylinder and the rotary member. The torsion spring, the lock cylinder, the rotary member and the rod are located in a movable member to which a compression spring is mounted. Both of the movable member and the compression spring are received in the top part. A chain is secured in a first radial slot of the top part by the movable member, and the other end is inserted in the second radial slot of the bottom part. The chain lock is locked without using the key, and the key is required to unlock the chain lock.
