PACKAGE RECEIVING LOCKER
A collapsible-locker, that is lockable, for receiving packages, may have at least one sterilizer for sterilizing at least some exterior portion of a given package received into the collapsible-locker. The collapsible-locker may have a sterilizer for sterilizing at least some exterior portions of the collapsible-locker where a person may be intended to interact with the collapsible-locker. The collapsible-locker may have a lid, a front-wall, a rear-wall, side-walls, and a floor that form main aspects of the collapsible-locker. Interior surfaces of the lid, the front-wall, the rear-wall, the side-walls, and/or the floor may be reflective to enhance UV (ultraviolet) light sterilizing the at least some exterior portion of the given package received into the collapsible-locker. The collapsible-locker may be configured to be attached to a side hinged door, wherein the hinged door provides access to a building for people.
Combination lock
A combination lock is provided, the lock having a latch movably mounted to a housing of the lock for movement between a locked position and an unlocked position; and a bolt movably mounted to the housing of the lock for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the combination lock is a key-controlled combination changing permutation lock wherein a button disposed away from a rear exterior surface of the housing in a first direction rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface is depressed in order to change the combination of the combination lock and the housing has a button protection feature extending rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction proximate to the button and the button protection feature extends farther away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction than the button.
Electromechanical Multi-Directional Lock
An electromechanical lock includes a main housing and a lock housing. The lock housing includes a locking element such as a bolt or a latch that can be translated between a locked position and an unlocked position by an actuator. The lock housing can be mounted to the main housing in more than one orientation.

LOCK
Systems, devices, and methods of locking a lockable volume. The lock may comprise a bolt and a slider. The slider moves linearly to move the bolt in position to engage a securement feature. The engagement of the bolt with the securement feature secures the securement feature, thereby locking the door to which the securement feature is attached.
Package management system
A system for securely delivering packages of at least two different sizes by a sender to a receiver is disclosed comprising, installing an array of lockers of at least two different sizes with the number of lockers of each size based on a predetermined installed ratio, a central control unit for controlling the locking portions on the array of lockers having a locker optimization unit adapted to use data collected on the frequency of use of each size of lockers to recommend a ratio of lockers of each size to maximize usage of lockers of appropriate size in the array, wherein if the recommended ratio is different from the installed ratio, changing the sizes of selected lockers after installation of the array to better match the recommended ratio by replacing doors without removing hinge pins and moving and re-fastening the top and bottom walls of the lockers.
DUAL-CODE-VARIABLE LOCK CORE
A dual-code-variable lock core is provided, including a first code component, a code wheel arranged outside the first code component, and a second code component arranged at one side of the code wheel. When the code wheel rotates to a first unlocking position, the first code component may move to perform a code change on the dual-code-variable lock core; and when the code wheel rotates to a second unlocking position, the second code component may move to perform the code change on the dual-code-variable lock core.
SMART STORAGE LOCKER FOR MOBILE DEVICES
A smart storage locker can be used to store an individual's mobile device while the individual is at work, school or another location where mobile devices should be restricted. The smart storage locker will therefore prevent the individual from carrying his or her mobile device while in such restricted environments. In addition to storing mobile devices, the smart storage locker can also be configured to automatically detect an individual's identity when the individual's mobile device is secured within the smart storage locker. This detection can then be employed to track when the individual is present at a particular location while not having access to, and therefore not using, his or her mobile device.
