  • Patent number: 7909419
    Abstract: A locker that may either be opened in a keyed or keyless manner includes a locking mechanism formed predominantly of sheet components. The locking mechanism is designed to be carried by the frame of the locker, and is particularly suited to enable the locker to be used as an evidence locker or similar restricted access storage compartment. Various spring biases are used to force the locking mechanism to a locked position when the locking mechanism is appropriately triggered, such as by a pushbutton. The locking mechanism is designed to be substantially tamper proof and cannot be reset to an unlocked position without a key, if equipped, or access to a lock resetting lever arm that is only accessible through a rear opening of the locker.

  • Publication number: 20110025181
    Abstract: A configurable personal storage locker having internal storage components that can be selectively removed and replaced depending upon user requirements. The personal storage locker includes spaced first and second side panels that each include internal hanging receivers that receive mounting tabs formed on the storage components. The storage components can be selectively placed at desired vertical heights within the storage locker to modify the internal configuration of the personal storage locker. Each personal storage locker includes a wiring bracket that allows the personal storage lockers to be daisy-chain connected to supply electrical power to each of the lockers while requiring only a single connection to an external power source. The personal storage locker can include a horizontal work surface that extends from the front edge of the personal storage locker and receives a drawer to provide additional enclosed storage space.
