  • Publication number: 20020196123
    Abstract: Disclosed are portable locking systems that primarily provide for the controlled entrance into lockable structures such as home cabinets. The portable locking systems comprise a portable transmitter and a portable receiver wherein the portable receiver preferably has a locking mechanism connected to the receiver. The portable transmitter is hand-held or removable from an individual to another individual whereas the portable receiver is removable from a lockable structure such as a home cabinet for reattachment to another cabinet or other lockable structure, thus resulting in a portable locking system that can be used temporarily or permanently at home or transported to another location for use.
