Locks, systems and methods of monitoring a lock, the lock having a hub with a slot rotatable by a handle to open and close a latchbolt. A locking member is moveable into and out of engagement with the hub slot to prevent and permit movement of the hub and latchbolt. A sensor on the lock, adjacent the hub and locking member, monitors a moving lock component. The sensor may sense the position of the locking member in or out of engagement with the hub slot. The sensor may be a reed switch actuated by a magnet on the moving lock component. The lock may further include a magnet mounted on the hub and the sensor may comprise a reed switch capable of being actuated by the magnet on the hub. The lock and system may include an external control unit having an alarm for controlling operation of the lock.

A sliding window and door lock including: A housing, where the housing is attached to at least one of a window sill and the floor next to a sliding door; a pivoting latch and a pivot, where the pivot attaches the pivoting latch to the housing, where the pivot is located farther along the path of travel of the at least one of a sliding window and sliding door when the housing is mounted to the at least one of a window sill and the floor, wherein the pivoting latch is adapted to pivot from being flush with the edge of the housing into the path of travel of the at least one of a sliding window and a sliding door, wherein the edge of the pivoting latch interfaces with the at least one of a sliding window and a sliding door, wherein the force of the at least one of a sliding window and sliding door would be obstructed by the pivoting latch being forced into the pivot. The sliding window and sliding door lock is preferably designed to at least one of 1) provide a lock to obstruct the opening of either of a sliding window and a sliding door, 2) prop open either of a sliding window and a sliding door, 3) create an alarm if an intruder attempts to open either of a sliding window and a sliding door.

An electronic access control system comprising an electronic lock assembly and a keyed lock assembly configured to mechanically override at least one locking component of the electronic lock assembly. In certain embodiments, the electronic lock assembly may be communicably engaged with one or more network devices to communicate an occurrence of a mechanical override at the electronic lock assembly. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for an electronic access control system comprising a keyless storage apparatus configured to securely store one or more physical assets. In certain embodiments, the keyless storage apparatus may be communicably engaged with at least one alarm system controller and/or remote server. The keyless storage apparatus may be configured to track a location status of one or more physical asset.

A docking station for micromobility transit vehicles is provided. The docking station may include a rack configured to dock a micromobility transit vehicle, a bollard for securing the micromobility transit vehicle within the rack, and a dock module configured to detect a characteristic of a lock cable securing the micromobility transit vehicle to the bollard. The dock module may include an inductive coil assembly disposed around a hole of the bollard to detect the lock cable inserted into the hole.
