This document discloses a storage device for theft-proof storage of valuable articles, comprising a cabinet, having at least one drawer space, a safe drawer, which is received in the drawer space, a safe housing, comprising side walls and a top wall connecting the side walls, wherein the safe drawer is slidably connected to the safe housing and wherein the safe housing is mounted to the cabinet in the drawer space, a locking member, which is movably connected to the safe drawer or to the safe housing, an actuator, which is operatively connected to the locking member, for controlling a movement of the locking member, and a controller, which is operatively connected to the actuator, and which is configured to control the actuator. The controller is configured for receiving a control signal, based on which the controller is configured to control the actuator. The locking member is movable between a first position, in which the locking member locks safe drawer relative to the cabinet, and a second position, wherein the safe drawer is unlocked relative to the cabinet.

A locking mechanism is applicable to an intelligent cabinet system having a first object and a second object movable relative to each other. The second object is configured to be located at one of a retracted position, a predetermined extension position and an open position. The locking mechanism includes a locking member and a driving device. The driving device is configured to drive the locking member to move from a first predetermined position to a second predetermined position. When the second object is moved relative to the first object from the retracted position along a direction and when the locking member is located at the second predetermined position, the locking member is configured to block the second object at the predetermined extension position. The predetermined extension position is located between the retracted position and the open position.

An electric lock, comprising: a case combining with a side plate and a case cover; a latch bolt, a latch bolt shaft and a latch bolt spring, the front end of the latch bolt shaft is combined with a blocking member, and the blocking member uses the elastic force of the latch bolt spring to stick out of the side plate to lock, when the external force applied to the latch bolt shaft is sufficient to resist the elastic force of the latch bolt spring, the blocking member will retract into the side plate to unlock; a unlock crank, having an electric push member, and a push member relative to the latch bolt shaft; and a linear actuator and an actuating arm, the front end of the actuating arm is combined with a push block relative to the electric push member, and a push block return spring is set relative to the push block.

Security systems and methods are provided. In one example, a security system includes at least one lock configured to protect one or more items from theft from a fixture, and a strike plate configured to be mounted to the fixture. The lock comprises a plunger pin configured to be moved between a locked state when in engagement with the strike plate and an unlocked state when disengaged from the strike plate, and the lock comprises a cam configured to move the plunger pin between the locked state and the unlocked state. The lock is configured to be moved between a latched position and an unlatched position while the lock is in the unlocked state, the fixture configured to be accessed in the unlatched position, and the strike plate is configured to move relative to the lock to align the lock with the strike plate when the lock is moved from the unlatched position to the latched position.

Systems and methods are disclosed for a lock assembly having a touchscreen. The lock assembly includes an interior assembly and an exterior assembly having an exterior lock housing and a touchscreen assembly. The touchscreen assembly includes a touchscreen having selectable icons on a front surface thereof, a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), and a support structure. The PCBA includes input regions corresponding to the selectable icons and light emitters. The support structure is configured to reflect light emitted from the light emitters through the front surface of the touchscreen.

The invention is a sliding latch with a bolt sliding in and out of a primary housing from a closed condition to an open condition on a sled that also slides in the housing. A spring biases the bolt to extend out of the housing to the closed condition. The bolt can be moved to an open condition by an electric motor mounted on the sled that rotates a threaded member to move a nut in a cavity in the bolt that pulls the bolt against the spring bias. The bolt can also be moved to an open condition by a force directly on the bolt against the spring bias. The bolt can also be moved to an open condition by a force pulling on the sled to move the sled and nut so the nut pulls the bolt against the spring bias to an open condition.

A remotely controlled cabinet assembly includes a cabinet unit that includes a central cabinet and a door that is hingedly coupled to the central cabinet. A plurality of locking units is each coupled to the central cabinet. Each of the locking units releasably engages the door for locking the door on the central cabinet. A control unit is coupled to the cabinet unit and the control unit is electrically coupled to each of the locking units. The control unit actuates each of the locking units to disengage and thusly unlock the door on the central cabinet. A keypad is coupled to the door and each of the locks disengages the door when an alpha-numeric code is entered into the keypad. An electronic device is carried by a user and the electronic device transmits an unlock command to the control unit for remotely unlocking the door on the central cabinet.

A locking system for fixing at least one transport unit for cargo items in an aircraft. The locking system includes a plurality of locking devices and at least one actuating device. Each locking device has at least one locking element for fixing and releasing the transport unit at least one predetermined position and is displaceable in a displacement direction between a fixing position and a release position. The at least one actuating device has at least one actuating unit for initiating an actuating movement and at least one sliding unit for displacing the locking element. The actuating unit is connected to the sliding unit for transmitting the actuating movement by means of at least one transmission section extending transversely to the displacement direction. The sliding unit is mechanically coupled to the locking element to transmit the actuating movement and to move the locking element between the fixing position and the release position.

A position keyed lockbox is unlocked by geographical location data or other positional data and includes an enclosure, a locking mechanism, and a control system. The control system unlocks the lockbox when the lockbox is taken to a location that matches a pre-selected location stored in the memory.
