The disclosure pertains to a child-proof lock and an unlocking and locking method thereof, the child-proof lock comprises a first lock member and a second lock member, the second lock member is slidably provided on two rod portions of a first rod portion, and the second lock member is displaced outward to disengage from one rod portion, and is then rotated about the other rod portion as an axis of rotation to form an opening for releasing handles for unlocking.

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.

The invention relates to a switch cabinet with a switch cabinet door which closes the switch cabinet and has a door lock which can be actuated via a door handle, the switch cabinet door having a door status sensor which has a magnetic field sensor being adapted to distinguish an open state of the switch cabinet door from a closed state of the switch cabinet door by means of a detected magnetic field change, characterized in that at least the magnetic field sensor of the door status sensor is accommodated within the door handle in a region of the door handle which is magnetically permeable to the environment of the switch cabinet.

The invention relates to a door lock with a locking element (1) for locking the door (3) in a closed state and a fastening element (2) for fastening the locking element (1) to the door (3), wherein that the fastening element (2) has an adjustable adjustment device (4) to compensate for different door thicknesses.

A storage apparatus having a keyless lock/unlock system. The storage apparatus may including a housing having a storage cavity and a door may be coupled to the housing. A handle is coupled to the door and defines a handle cavity. The locking system includes an electronics assembly and a locking mechanism that are in operable communication. The electronics assembly includes a reader component and an indicator component that are located within the handle cavity. The indicator component is visible through a window in the handle. When the reader component receives credential data which is then authenticated, the locking system transitions between a locked configuration whereby the locking mechanism is locked and the indicator component is in a first display state and an unlocked configuration whereby the locking mechanism is unlocked and the indicator component is in a second display state. The indicator component may be electronic paper.

Provided is a locker system in which usefulness to a locker user is increased. The locker system comprises an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a locker control unit. The acquisition unit acquires biological information about the user. The determination unit determines a request relating to the locker use of the user. The locker control unit opens a locker specified on the basis of the request relating to the locker use in relation to a user specified by a comparison process using the biological information.

A locking device for a locker is proposed. The locking device for a locker is configured to lock or unlock a locker by using a smartphone instead of a user card, and to perform both the function of a deadbolt and the function of a spring latch using a latch operation lever. The locking device includes a locking unit that has a casing, a deadbolt latch, a latch operation lever, a stopper plate, a driving controller controlling the latch operation lever, a motor driving unit connected to the latch operation lever, and a battery unit, wherein an end portion of the deadbolt latch is locked to the stopper plate such that the deadbolt latch is not moved backward, thereby keeping a locker locked.

A lock can include a motor assembly, a gear assembly, and an unlocking assembly. The motor assembly can include a motor and a drive shaft. The gear assembly can include a cam, a pinion gear, and a pinion. The pinion gear can include a plurality of teeth disposed along only a portion of a perimeter of the pinion gear. The pinion gear can be configured to engage the pinion. The pinion can be configured to translate laterally to release a biasing member to unlock a door of a container.

A smart locker includes electronics to operate a user interface, including a keypad, and to receive user commands via the keypad to lock or unlock the smart locker with an electronic lock. The smart locker also receives primary input power and provides direct charging power and wireless charging power for charging electronic devices. The smart locker also is capable of receiving secondary input power to operate the electronic lock in the absence of the primary input power.

An apparatus and method for assisting a user in actuating a locking mechanism associated with a storage device. The locking mechanism has a combination input device and a lock capable of being switched from a locked state to an unlocked state upon entering a preset combination using the combination input device. The actuator comprises an interface configured to releasably engage the combination input device of the locking mechanism and move the combination input device to actuate the locking mechanism and transition the lock from the locked state to the unlocked state. A controller is in communication with the actuator and configured to operate the actuator so that the actuator moves the combination input device based on the preset combination to actuate the locking mechanism and transition the lock from the locked state to the unlocked state.
