Abstract
An improved coin operated lock unit and arrangement for mounting same is characterized in that the lock unit is removably mounted within a lock unit mounting post through a rear surface thereof, which is exposed for lock unit insertion/removal purposes only when the door of an adjacent storage compartment is in an unlocked condition; the mounting post having apertures in its front and side surfaces disposed for alignment with at least the key operated custodian and patron locks, the coin chute and the lock bolt of the lock unit, when disposed within the mounting post. Structure under the control of the custodian lock is employed to selectively, releasably retain the lock unit within the mounting post and to control the patron lock for door unlocking/locking purposes, while the patron key is removed from the patron lock.
