A banknote handling system includes an unlocking system. The unlocking system includes a camera, a first mechanical arm to which one or a plurality of keys are affixed, and a controller that determines a position of a keyhole based on an image from the camera, and controls the first arm to insert one of the one or the plurality of keys into the keyhole and turn the inserted key for unlocking. In many examples, the unlocking system is configured to unlock a banknote cashbox.

A mechanism for actuating a boltwork sensing switch in an Automated Transaction Machine (ATM) includes linear actuators that are rigidly affixed to a bracket. The actuators are operable to linearly move the bracket in synchronized linear movement with the actuators. In operation, as the actuators move the bracket, a distal end of the bracket will come into contact with a switch, causing the switch to change its binary status from either open to closed or closed to open. The signal from the switch, which indicates whether the main bolt is open or closed, is detected by a main processor of an Automated Transaction Machine.

A safe for the storage of a valuable, such as a firearm. The safe has an imaging system that is used to scan a portion of a human in the near infrared spectrum to image blood vessels and determine if the image matches a stored image and thereafter effect unlocking of the safe. A manual override lock system is provided to manually effect unlocking of the safe.

Disclosed herein is a movable bolt pan in which the bolt pan frame is secured directly to a safe door. The positions of securement of the bolt pan frame to the safe door are spread across a large percentage of the door slab. An entirety of the leading edge of the movable bolt pan contacts the door jamb of the safe when the movable bolt pan is in the closed position. A handle on an exterior of the safe door can be used to slide the movable bolt pan laterally from the closed position to the open position, allowing the safe to be opened.
