Abstract
A lock system includes a lock. The lock includes a locking mechanism, an induction coil, and an actuator. The locking mechanism is selectively movable between a first position and a second position. The induction coil is configured to inductively couple with a portable device to generate power. The actuator is configured to actuate between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration to selectively transition the locking mechanism between a locked state and an unlocked state in response to receiving the power generated with the induction coil.
