An electronic door lock system includes a gasket system for protecting electrical and mechanical components from exterior water and air. A lock portion may include a gasket, a circuit board, and a plate disposed between a first and second housing. The gasket includes an L-shaped perimeter that wraps around a first side and perimeter edge of the circuit board. The plate compresses the gasket perimeter against a ridge on the first housing to form a seal around the circuit board.

An intelligent lock, overlock, and lock system can be electrically controlled to open and close one or more locks. The lock, lock system, and method may function on a frequency selected to avoid cross talk, which permits numerous locks to function simultaneously on the same central system with little interruption or delay. A lock may be used as an overlock for an existing lock or be a primary lock and may include a pivoting engagement structure that engages a locking mechanism to provide added strength.

Apparatus for unlocking and locking a lock (1′) enabling access to protected areas. The apparatus comprises a housing (5) with a housing interior (64). A rotational shaft (30) is in operative connection with the housing. A motor (10) extends in the housing interior (64), is in operative rotational connection with shaft (30) and is operative to rotate the shaft (30). A battery cell (9) extends in the housing interior (64) and is in partially surrounding relation of the motor (10). The battery cell is in operative electrical connection with the motor (10). In cross section, the battery cell (9) includes at least two points (34) and (36) such that a line segment (32) joining these two points passes through the motor (10).

Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for storing energy in a electromechanical lock. The electromechanical lock can include a main housing and a deadbolt. The main housing can be configured to extend a deadbolt along a path to lock and/or unlock a door. The deadbolt can have a hollow inner region configured to receive an energy storage device. The energy storage device within the deadbolt can be electrically connected to the main housing. The energy storage device can be used to power an actuator and/or accelerometer in the main housing.

A lockset that includes a latch assembly, an interior assembly and an exterior assembly. The latch assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The interior assembly is configured to electronically control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. The exterior assembly includes a locking assembly configured to be mechanically coupled with the latch assembly. The interior assembly includes an interior wireless communication unit and the exterior assembly includes an exterior wireless communication unit that is configured to wirelessly communicate therebetween. In some embodiments, an exterior assembly includes a photovoltaic cell and the interior assembly includes a light source. The light source and the solar cell are configured for wirelessly communicating and for power transmission between the exterior and interior assemblies through a bore hole in the door.

Disclosed herein is a shipping container that includes numerous multi-factor authentication (MFA) tie ins to provide added security to the container. In some embodiments, the shipping container is associated with a mobile user profiles within a mobile application. A retailer makes a sale, then, using a mobile application, associates the container with the destination address and the MFA details associated with the buyer's mobile application account. Once the container is loaded up, the container will not open again except for the buyer using the buyer's MFA authentication credentials.

A wirelessly-controlled jamb-mounted access control system can include an in-jamb housing, a lock body at least partially inside the housing and rotatable about a first axis between locked and unlocked positions. The first axis can extend parallel to the jamb, and the lock body can include inner and outer sidewalls that define a latch cavity configured to receive a latch tongue of a door. The wirelessly-controlled j amb-mounted access control system can further include an actuator configured to control release of the lock body from the locked position in response to a control signal.

A jobsite box includes a body, the body having an interior, an exterior, and a lid, a key pad positioned on the exterior of the body, the key pad being in communication with a controller positioned on the body, a locking mechanism connected to the body, the locking mechanism being configured to lock and unlock the jobsite box, a battery positioned in the interior of the body, the battery configured to power the locking mechanism. The controller is configured to lock or unlock the locking mechanism when a predetermined code is entered into the key pad.

A locking system and method for a movable freight container door comprises an electronic module and a mechanical lock element. The mechanical lock element comprises a shaft, at least of portion of which is configured to be inserted through an aperture in the electronic module, across a door handle retention region, and into a cavity in the electronic module. The shaft is securely retained in the electronic module by moving a lock mechanism to a locked position. At least one magnetic field sensor in the electronic module is used to read the position of the shaft in the cavity by sensing or not sensing one or more magnets in the shaft. A wireless communication component in the electronic module wirelessly transmits magnetic field sensor information.
