Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0206724A2] There is disclosed an establishment comprising a plurality of locking systems, each locking system comprising: a container (12) with an aperture; a closure member (11) which may be moved so as to close the aperture; a hole (7) for accommodating a lock (1); a lock (1) locatable in the hole (7); and actuating means (2) for actuating the lock (1) between a locked mode and an unlocked mode; the arrangement being such that, with the actuating means (2) being in a position to actuate the lock (1), the lock (1) may be introduced into the hole (7) whereupon, with the closure member (11) closing the aperture, suitable operation of the actuating means (2) not only causes the lock (1) to secure itself with respect to the container (12) or the closure member (11) or to an element associated with either thereof, but also causes the closure member (11) to be locked with respect to the container (12): wherein the locks are interchangeable such that, in use, in the establishment, persons requiring locks can be issued with locks and their respective keys on a random basis, thereby anhancing security. A plurality of similar locks, operated by different keys can be interchangeable, and can be used with a plurality of containers, on a random basis, such as for safes in a hotel.
