Lock system, mobile device and method for indicating the location of a lock with a mobile device, which mobile device sends and receives a radio signal and communicates with the lock via radio-frequency communication, wherein the lock is a lock that is openable electrically and by radio-frequency communication. In the solution of the invention the direction and/or strength of a radio transmission sent by a lock is measured with a mobile device, the location and/or direction of the lock in relation to the mobile device is determined on the basis of the measurement, and the location of the lock and/or the direction towards the lock is indicated with the mobile device to the user of the mobile device.

Magnetic keys, bow caps and key components are described. In one aspect, the present application describes a key. The key includes a blade and a bow connected to the blade. The bow is for applying torque to the blade. The bow defines a key ring aperture located near a top of the bow. The top is the portion of the bow furthest from the blade. The key also include a magnet fixedly coupled to the bow by placement within the key ring aperture to provide a magnetic field on at least one side of the key.

An exemplary credential reader includes a touch-sensitive region and is configured to generate tap information and/or swipe information in response to the touch-sensitive region being tapped and/or swiped. In certain forms, the touch-sensitive region is a non-displaying track pad. In other forms, the touch-sensitive region is a touch-sensitive display. A lockset including the credential reader further includes a controller configured to generate credential information based upon information received from the credential reader. The controller may compare the credential information to an authorized credential and transmit a grant/deny signal based upon the comparing.
