An arrangement and a method for an electromagnetic padlock () are disclosed. A handheld unit (), which is movably connected via a connector member to a lock fitting () to be locked by a padlock (), is removably attached to a padlock () during unlocking and locking. When the padlock () is locked, a magnetic sensor () of the electronic key () detects a change in detected magnetic flux from the attached magnet (), representing a verification that the padlock has both been locked and locked at a correct location. Incorrect locking procedure, or locking at incorrect locations may generate warnings.

Arrangement and method for providing status of an electromagnetic padlock

An electromechanical lock assembly () comprising a lock body (), a lock core () located at least partially within the lock body () and selectively rotatable with respect to the lock body (), the lock core () including a key receptacle (), a bolt operating member rotationally secured to the lock core () and configured to move a lock bolt of a lock () for locking and unlocking said lock (), and a programmable key (), wherein said electromechanical lock assembly is configured to be powered upon insertion of the programmable key () in said key receptacle (). A position sensing device () is arranged to transmit position data to said programmable key ().

Electromechanical lock assembly

The present invention relates to an electromechanical lock assembly () comprising a lock body (), a lock core (), a lock bolt operating member (), and an electronic access control device. The electromechanical lock assembly further comprises an annular element () which is rotatably and axially displaceably mounted on said lock core (), a coupling device () arranged to communicate with said electronic access control device and, upon the insertion of an appropriate key () in a key receptacle () of the lock core (), rotationally lock the annular element () to the lock core (), thereby enabling rotation of the lock core () in a first direction and thereby enabling unlocking of a lock () with said appropriate key (), and a blocking arrangement () arranged to prevent unauthorized unlocking of said lock ().

Electromechanical lock assembly with annular element, blocking and retaining devices

The invention concerns a system () to provide access to premises (P-P) that comprise entrances (E, E, E-E) locked by means of electromechanical key locks (L, L, L-L), which for locking and unlocking are powered by insertion and actuation of at least one programmable key (). In said system () an administrator () contacts a service unit () in possession of a programmable key () and provides it with synchronization data () for an electromechanical key lock (L) of at least one entrance (E) of at least one premise (P) at an exact geographic position of a site (S).

System to provide access to premises that comprise entrances locked by means of electromechanical key locks

An electronic lock device configured to be externally mounted on a building door is provided, and being configured to operate a lock by moving a lock bolt of an associated lock case between a retracted position and a protruded position. The device includes an electrical motor and a transmission for connecting said electrical motor to the associated lock case. The transmission includes a rotatable shaft configured to be connected to a lock follower of the lock case, and a rotatable member being drivingly connected to the electrical motor and being connected to an engagement member being allowed to pivot upon rotation of the rotatable member, such that the engagement member is engaging with the rotatable shaft when the electrical motor is driving the rotatable member.

Electronic lock device

In one embodiment of the present invention, a lock device is adapted to unlock a lock by transferring a lock catch from a locking position to a releasing position. The device includes an electric motor, which is mechanically connected to an axle via at least one transmission device, and rotation of the axle actuates the lock catch. In at least one embodiment, the transmission device includes a weakening structure adapted to break and disrupt the mechanical connection between the electric motor and the axle if a threshold force is exceeded.

Lock device, a method and an arrangement for mounting a lock device

A method is presented for unlocking a lock by a lock device enabled for short-range wireless data communication in compliance with a communication standard. In one embodiment, the method includes: a) detecting a key device within operative range of the lock device; b) determining a wireless communication address of the key device; c) evaluating the determined key device address by reference to a data storage with a number of wireless communication addresses stored therein; d) generating an evaluation result from said evaluating step c), wherein a match between the determined key device address and any of the wireless communication addresses stored in the data storage is a requisite for a positive evaluation result; and e) unlocking said lock if a positive evaluation result is generated in step d).

Method for unlocking a lock by a lock device enabled for short-range wireless data communication in compliance with a communication standard and associated device

A lock device is adapted to unlock a lock by transferring a lock catch from a locking position to a releasing position. The device has an electric motor mechanically connected to an axle by means of at least one transmission means, and rotation of said axle actuates the lock catch. The device is characterized in that it comprises means for monitoring the current consumed by the electric motor.

Device and method for unlocking a lock by use of monitoring of current

In one embodiment of the present invention, a lock actuating device for a lock mechanism of a lock has a transceiver capable of interaction with a wireless key device, a controller coupled to the transceiver and capable of generating a control signal, and a lock actuator adapted for actuation of the lock mechanism upon receipt of the control signal from the controller. The controller has a sleep mode and an operational mode. The lock actuating device also has a wake-up arrangement including a sensor and associated circuitry. The sensor is positioned to detect the presence of a user in a vicinity of the lock actuating device. The circuitry is adapted to generate a wake-up control signal to the controller upon detection of the user, so as to cause the controller to switch from sleep mode to operational mode.
