Abstract: A lock that is particularly suitable for locking cabinets, showcases and drawers includes a bolt and a housing having an opening to receive the bolt and having arranged therein a locking member for locking the bolt. The bolt comprises an bolt body, a chamfered head end and a recess part on the elongated bolt body behind the chamfered head end. The locking member is rotatably provided inside the housing and arranged to rotate between a first orientation to lock the bolt and a second orientation different from the first orientation to release the lock. The locking member comprises a bended first end that fits behind the recess part of the bolt when the locking member is rotated to the first orientation. A coil can be used to, when provided with a current, generate a magnetic force to tilt the locking member to the second orientation.
