Abstract: Various enhancements are provided to a pushbutton lock to enhance its security. One is the provision of button tips that are mounted on the ends of the button assemblies and spring-loaded to protrude from the face of the lock, regardless of whether the underlying button is "in" or "out". By this arrangement, a bystander cannot readily see the button combination by the pattern of depressed buttons. This arrangement also reduces tactile feedback between the underlying button assembly and the externally available button tips, increasing resistance to pick attacks. A further enhancement is the provision of button bars between adjacent pairs of button tips. Whenever any of the button tips is manually depressed, the corresponding button bar is pressed into engagement with, and prevents movement of, a member that must be moved in order to unlock the lock. This arrangement further increases lock security by preventing an attacker from experimentally pressing buttons and judging the tactile effect thereon in attempted unlockings of the lock.

Abstract: The latching components of the padlock are driven by a motor between positions for latching and releasing the padlock shackle. Power for the motor is provided by a source carried in an electronic key. An encoder element with associated optical elements provides position information to the control circuit carried inside of the padlock. The control circuit correlates the position information with the signal directing power to the motor so that the motor is precisely controlled for moving the latching elements between release and latch.

Abstract: Latching components of a padlock are driven by a motor (48) between latched and released position. An encoder element (80) with associated optical elements (88, 90) provides position information to a control circuit. The control circuit correlates the position information with the signal directing power to the motor (48) so that the motor (48) is precisely controlled for moving the latching elements between release and latch. If the motor jams (sensed by overcurrent), it is operated briefly in alternating directions to try and dislodge the grit or ice causing the jam. The padlock shackle (24) is latched into place by balls (94) which are driven in recesses in the shackle legs (24). The use of plural balls (94) on at least one side helps isolate the drive motor (48) and gears (42) from grit that may enter through the padlock's top shackle holes.

Abstract: Security systems (10) are provided in which a plurality of different lock devices (19, 21, 20, 22) are all responsive to a single key (12). Outdoor lock devices (19, 21, 20, 22) which may not be used for a period of years are unlocked by the key (12) in cooperation with a manually-applied unlocking force (74). A key nest (22) is provided which can controllably apply an unlocking signal to any electronically-controlled device.
