A locker (1) including a lockable compartment (3) and an anchor (5). At least a portion of the compartment is tapered to penetrate particulate. The anchor is below the compartment and rotatable to pull the compartment at least partly into the particulate.

A gun safe adapted for securing a firearm. The safe includes a storage chamber formed by a lid and a base. The safe includes a latch mechanism that can be locked and unlocked electronically. The safe can also be provided with a manual lock override.

A safe for a firearm includes a container having a front opening that slidably receives a drawer having an open top that holds a firearm in a presentation position. A drop-down panel is slidably around the first side, front, and second side of the drawer when the drawer is in an extended potion. The drop-down panel is raised at least partially above the first side, front, and second side of the drawer when the drawer is in a retracted position inside the container to seal the front opening. A ramp is fixed within the internal volume of the container that raises the drop-down panel when the drawer is pushed backwardly into the container. A latch retains the drawer in the retracted position against a spring that urges the drawer into the extended position, and is selectively openable with a lock that releases the latch.

An apparatus includes a controller configured to initiate attachment of a first locking bar of a transport container to a first anchor point of a structure by adjusting the first locking bar from a first unlocked state to a first locked state. The controller is also configured to confirm a locking of the first locking bar to the first anchor point. The controller is further configured to, in response to confirming the locking, initiate a release of a second locking bar of the transport container from a second anchor point by adjusting the second locking bar from a second locked state to a second unlocked state.

A banknote handling system includes an unlocking system. The unlocking system includes a camera, a first mechanical arm to which one or a plurality of keys are affixed, and a controller that determines a position of a keyhole based on an image from the camera, and controls the first arm to insert one of the one or the plurality of keys into the keyhole and turn the inserted key for unlocking. In many examples, the unlocking system is configured to unlock a banknote cashbox.

A safe container comprises a first receptacle configured to receive a grooming product and a biometric lock configured to selectively open the first receptacle to a designated user. The grooming product may include a shaver and/or razor blade cartridges. The biometric lock may include a fingerprint reader.

Banknote processing equipment is disclosed, which comprises a chamber having an open end for insertion of a bag into the chamber and an extractor adapted to establish a lower ambient pressure between the chamber and the bag to that within the bag to cause the bag to expand into an open configuration during a banknote filling operation, whereby the banknote processing equipment can deposit banknotes in the bag.

The present invention provides a system and method for firearm storage; and more particularly, a safe and secure handgun mini-vault apparatus for a loaded handgun that allows an authorized user rapid, unobstructed and effortless access to the handgun. The handgun mini-vault system of the present invention not only provides for relative ease of assembly and aesthetically appealing appearance, it also permits access to the handgun without the need to manually manipulate a locking device. The locking system of the present invention utilizes RFID technology to allow authorized users to open the mini-vault by simply waiving an RFID chip in proximity to the mini-vault interrogator.

A firearm storage safety device, such as a trigger lock, for use on a firearm to make the trigger inaccessible. The lock has both a mechanical means and an electronic means to effect unlocking of the device. The electronic means includes a motor start device to effect operation of the electronic means components. Both unlocking means operate a common latching assembly.

Apparatus and related methods for use in isolation locking of an asset are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus (205) is disclosed comprising a containment unit (210) configured for storing one or more articles (eg. isolation keys) therein, a communication module (220) configured capable of receiving a signal, and an identifier (222) registered to the apparatus and provided in a form acknowledgeable by a portable device. The apparatus (205) further comprises an operable device (230) associated with the containment unit (210) and configured operable to perform an action in (respect of the containment unit) in response to the signal received by the communication module (220).
