Abstract: A device for storing and securing tools, parts, instrumentation, equipment and the like having locking hardware manipulated about a keyed lock, an improved remote entry system simply applied to current and out of production storage devices offering the convenience of keyless entry and the redundancy of standard keylock operation. The entry system has a lock assembly (349A) to which the original equipment manufacturer's rotating hardware (430X) is attached. The lock (349A) is coupled to an electromechanical actuator assembly (149) by a shifter assembly (249B) and together supported within a storage device (270X) by a pylon assembly (189A). Electromechanical operation and control is accomplished by a receiver (380V) powered by a battery (390V) and activated by a transmitter (382V). Manual locking and unlocking is effected by the use of a key (250V) replicating the operation prior to incorporation of this system.
