A lock includes an electrically powered locking mechanism operable between locked and unlocked positions, a power supply, and a controller for operating the locking mechanism between locked and unlocked positions. The controller regulates the amount of electric power supplied to the electrically powered locking mechanism and determines temperature in the vicinity of the locking mechanism, and is capable of supplying first and second levels of electric power to the electrically powered locking mechanism in accordance with the temperature in the vicinity of the locking mechanism. If the temperature in the vicinity of the locking mechanism is within a predetermined temperature range, a first level of electric power is supplied to the electrically powered locking mechanism to operate between locked and unlocked positions. If the temperature is below the predetermined temperature range, a second, lower level of electric power is supplied to the electrically powered locking mechanism.

An attachment system for a locking device mounted to a closure comprises a baseplate fastenable to a mounting surface of the closure, a housing and an insert. The baseplate includes at least one circumferential track having an engagement feature, and a plurality of circumferential cutouts terminating with a catch portion. The housing includes a plurality of extrusions insertable into the at least one circumferential track and engageable with the engagement feature to prevent the housing from being withdrawn from the baseplate in a direction normal to the mounting surface. The housing further includes a slot. The insert is securely insertable into the slot. The insert includes a frame having a plurality of protrusions insertable into the circumferential cutouts in the baseplate. The protrusions are slideably lockable in the catch portions of the circumferential cutouts to prevent relative rotation between the baseplate and the housing.

A lockset that includes a latch assembly, an interior assembly and an exterior assembly. The latch assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The interior assembly is configured to electronically control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. The exterior assembly includes a locking assembly configured to be mechanically coupled with the latch assembly. The interior assembly includes an interior wireless communication unit and the exterior assembly includes an exterior wireless communication unit that is configured to wirelessly communicate therebetween. In some embodiments, an exterior assembly includes a photovoltaic cell and the interior assembly includes a light source. The light source and the solar cell are configured for wirelessly communicating and for power transmission between the exterior and interior assemblies through a bore hole in the door.

The invention relates to stationary locking devices for electrical vehicles of individual mobility and can be applied for transportation systems. The technical result, which the invention is aimed at, is to provide the possibility of powering the electric locking mechanism from the on-board network of an electric vehicle of individual mobility that is blocked by a stationary locking module. The essence of the invention is a stationary locking module for electric vehicles of individual mobility, comprising an electrical locking mechanism, wherein this stationary locking module has a contact element for powering the electric locking mechanism from the on-board network of the lockable electric vehicle of individual mobility.

A locking system is described. The locking system, includes a lock. The lock includes a semi-hard magnet and a hard magnet. The hard magnet is configured to move to open or close the lock, the lock is self-powered using near field communication (NFC), and the lock is digitally controlled using a mobile application.

An access control device generally includes an electromechanical actuator operable to transition the access control device between a locked state and an unlocked state, an energy storage device operable to store electrical power from a power supply, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to direct a first electrical power from the energy storage device to the electromechanical actuator in response to one or more first criteria. In a fail secure mode, the first electrical power is configured to cause the electromechanical actuator to transition the access control device to the locked state. In a fail safe mode, the first electrical power is configured to cause the electromechanical actuator to transition the access control device to the unlocked state. Certain embodiments further include a user-adjustable switch operable to transition the control circuitry between the fail secure mode and the fail safe mode.

An electromechanical lock cylinder. The cylinder includes a core front end, a core back end coupled with a tailpiece, an actuator mechanism, switchable between a locked state and an unlocked state, to keep the core front end uncoupled with the core back end in the locked state, to couple the core front end with the core back end in the unlocked state to enable the core front end to rotate the core back end from a locked rear position to an unlocked rear position, and to return to keep the core front end uncoupled with the core back end in the locked state; an enforced coupling to couple the core front end with the core back end as the core front end starts to rotate the core back end away from the locked rear position in the unlocked state, and decouple the core front end from the core back end as the core back end returns to the locked rear position; an operation knob, coupled with the core front end, to enable a user to rotate the operation knob from an initial knob position so that the core front end rotates the core back end from the locked rear position to the unlocked rear position in the unlocked state; and a return force mechanism to rotate the operation knob further after the user first has rotated the operation knob away from the initial knob position and then released the operation knob, whereby the core back end is rotated to the locked rear position by the core front end due to the coupled enforced coupling.

An electro-mechanical lock is provided for a door. The lock includes inner and outer lock components mounted on opposite sides of the door and a tube extending between the inner and outer lock components, the tube being configured to receive a spindle extending through the door. The tube includes an electrical conductor integrated with the tube as a one-piece construction for transmitting electrical power and/or control signals between first and second electrical connectors at the inner and outer lock components. The tube is less fragile than conventional double tube arrangements in locks and thus can be more easily cut to length and installed at the door, improving reliability and cost effectiveness of methods of installation.

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.
