Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for remotely controlling locks on depositories, primarily locks used for the purpose of securing things using a scanning device and at least one identification token. Each lock (215) is provided with a token (112) that contains identification information related to its depository system (221). A scanning device (111) is needed to decode (211) the token (112) and communicate its information to an online database (212) for authorization to access the depository (221). If the scanner (111) is authorized to access the depository (221), the online database (212) will communicate a command (213) to the lock (215) to open. This operation will need to be repeated each time the depository needs to be opened. In some embodiments, the scanning device (111) may be operatively connected to a power source that can transfer power as a means of powering depository (221).
