An electronic lockbox uses a rotary actuator with multiple positions to achieve multiple locking states. Multiple positions of the actuator are detected, using optical sensors. The locking mechanism includes an outer sleeve and an inner cylindrical barrel that are coupled with torsion springs. The lockbox has a shackle and a key bin that are retained by the inner barrel when in the locked state, and the barrel can be rotated to either release the shackle or to release the key bin that typically holds a building's key.

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.

Lock device (1) which incorporates a closure assembly (2) that can move between an open position and a closed position, a locking device to lock said closure assembly (2) in the closed position, a first actuator (3, 31) and a second actuator (4, 41), both the first actuator (3, 31) and the second actuator (4, 41) having a locked position, in which a locking or retention action is applied, and an unlocked position, both the first and the second actuators having respective control devices which allow orders to be given to change the position of each respective actuator, wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are arranged in such a way that unlocking the locking device requires that both control devices place their respective actuator in the unlocked position.

The present invention relates to a smart electronic lock and a suitcase. The smart electronic lock includes a housing that is enclosed by a front shell and a rear shell and that has an accommodating cavity, a lock cylinder assembly disposed in the accommodating cavity, and two fastening assemblies, where the two fastening assemblies are respectively correspondingly located at an upper portion and a lower portion of the back of the rear shell, the housing is provided with a snap-fit structure that snap-fits to one of the fastening assemblies, the housing is provided with a key assembly that is fastened and locked to the other fastening assembly, the fastening assembly that is fastened and locked to the key assembly is fixedly connected to the housing, a panel of the front shell is provided with a sensor, a circuit board assembly is provided in the accommodating cavity, and the lock cylinder assembly moves under control of the circuit board assembly, so that when the key assembly is pressed, the other fastening assembly drives the key assembly in an anterior/posterior direction to release from the key assembly. The present invention resolves the problems of low security and complex settings of a coded lock in the prior art.

A locking system for a door, including a primary locking mechanism and a secondary locking mechanism, in which the primary locking mechanism includes an electrical actuator that causes a first plate and a second plate to be magnetically attracted to one another when actuated such that rotation of a doorknob effects a corresponding rotation of the spindle, and in which the secondary locking mechanism includes a detent that is formed in a knob collar and an aperture that extends through a rotator collar; and a pin that is translatable through the aperture to be disposed in the detent of the knob collar, when the secondary locking mechanism is in an unlocked condition, such that the knob collar and the rotator collar are rotatably fixed to one another.

A lock device adapted for a first object and a second object movable relative to the first object includes a slider, a driving module, a latch and a power module. The driving module can drive the slider to move between a locking position and an unlocking position. The latch is movable relative to the slider. The power module can provide electricity to the driving module. When the second object is located at a retracted position relative to the first object, the driving module can drive the slider to move to the locking position, so that the latch blocks the second object. When the driving module is not driven by the power module, the latch is driven by the second object moving in an opening direction to move from an original state to a non-original state for driving the slider to move from the locking position to the unlocking position.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage mediums, for a smartlock device that can be integrated in a door at a property. The smartlock device includes a locking mechanism configured to lock the door and to unlock the door. The device includes a radio device and a sensor that determines a first temperature of the smartlock device and a second temperature of a room that is accessible via the door. The radio device is operable to: i) receive parameter signals from the sensor indicating each of the first and second temperatures; ii) transmit data that includes the first and second temperatures to a monitoring system; and iii) receive a command to cause the locking mechanism to unlock the door based on information from the monitoring system. The information includes a determined routing of occupants at the property and is presented on a display of the device.

An exemplary exit device system includes a pushbar assembly and a control system. The pushbar assembly includes a latch having an extended position and a retracted position, a blocking member having a blocking position in which the blocking member retains the latch in the extended position and an unblocking position in which the blocking member permits the latch to move to the retracted position, a pushbar operable to move the blocking member between the blocking position and the unblocking position, and an electronic driver operable to move the blocking member between the blocking position and the unblocking position. The control system is configured to operate the electronic driver to electrically move the blocking member between the blocking position and the unblocking position based upon information received from a credential reader.
