Apparatuses, methods, and systems for providing a locking apparatus for resisting movement of an openable element are described. The locking apparatus includes a body, an actuator, a lifting member, at least a portion of the lifting member being configured to be raised or lowered relative to the body according to an output of the actuator, the lifting member comprising a contact surface configured to restrict movement of the openable element, and a strap coupled to the body and to the lifting member, the strap configured to permit the lifting member to flex based at least in part upon contact between the lifting member and the openable element and to transfer energy received at the lifting member into the body of the locking apparatus into a surface to which the locking apparatus is mounted.

A secure key storage device integrable with an electronic lock having a mechanical key override activation and a mechanical lock. The storage device contains and provides a key which can open the electronic lock on a mechanical override basis via the mechanical lock and is comprised of a locking key caddy compartment which contains the key, and which is provided with a mechanical lock opening member to effect opening thereof. The secure key storage device has a mounting element with a structure configured to be fitted with and securely supported by the mechanical lock of an existing electronic lock on the door and wherein the locking key caddy compartment element is integrated with the mounting element either by fastening elements or as a one piece structure. Alternatively, or in addition a spare battery compartment element is provided with a spare charged battery.

Proposed is a device for supplying emergency power to a digital door lock, which supplies emergency power by switching a connection method of a battery holder provided in the digital door lock from parallel to series or series to parallel by rotating a door lock opening/closing means.
