Abstract: An electronic time lock for bank vault doors and the like having a door bolting mechanism including a snubber bar, the time lock including a lock case, an intermediate vertical partition located in said chamber between front and rear walls of the case, the rear wall and intermediate partition having surfaces defining cylindrical guide bores for reciprocating movement of the snubber bar therein. A pair of electric motors are arranged in side-by-side relation on the intermediate partition to drive a blocking member through a pair of drive trains between blocking and release position for blocking the snubber bar against movement to an unlocking position and releasing the snubber bar.
