An electronic locking apparatus for an entryway, having a linkage coupled to an entryway frame case, and a solenoid associated with the case, the solenoid is configured to selectively engage with the linkage. The linkage is movable between a locked position blocking movement of a latch bolt from the latched position to the unlatched position and an unlocked position allowing movement of the bolt to the unlatched position

A latch mechanism includes a latch having a first latch protrusion and a second latch protrusion, and a catch having a first catch protrusion and a second catch protrusion. The first catch protrusion engages the first latch protrusion in a first catch position. The second catch protrusion engages the second latch protrusion in a second catch position following release of the first catch position.

Systems and methods for wireless unlocking of lock systems on enclosures within a vehicle are provided. A lock system may be unlocked via a digital key communicated to the lock system via any suitable communication protocol, for example, a short range communication protocol. The digital key can be embedded or otherwise stored and accessed in an application accessible via a user interface device.
