Abstract
An electronic locking apparatus for a rollup door, including a striker plate and a locking apparatus having a housing; a U-shaped trigger latch pivotably mounted to the housing having a notch and a spring; and a release catch pivotably mounted to the housing, a tab which can engage the notch and a spring. A solenoid is associated with a piston, which is connected to the release catch and can cause the release catch to pivot positions. Also included is a control assembly including a processor, user interface and memory storage device. A user can enter access information into the user interface, which causes the processor to actuate the solenoid, which moves the piston and causes the release catch to pivot. The release catch tab engages or disengages from the trigger latch tab to pivot and release or retain the striker plate.
