  • Multi-unit access control and information management system
    Patent number: 12385289
    Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a hasp having a tongue disposed along a first side of the hasp, and a captive latch pin protruding from the hasp disposed away from the tongue. The locking mechanism includes an actuator assembly with a captive latch and an actuator configured to manipulate the captive latch. The captive latch may receive the captive latch pin of the hasp. A body locking mechanism can obstruct access to at least a portion of the hasp and the actuator assembly, wherein the hasp may slidably move when the captive latch pin is not retained by the captive latch, and wherein a retention of the captive latch pin by the captive latch arrests the slidable movement of the hasp.
