ABSTRACT:
A docking station has a housing with an open top compartment formed therein for storing a security key in a locked condition when not in use at a checkout station for opening media security containers. A slide member is moveable by a three position key operated tumbler between locked and unlocked positions across the storage compartment opening. A cam is slidably engageable with the slide member and is moveable by the tumbler for moving the slide member between the locked and unlocked positions. An alarm deactivation switch is actuated by the cam when the tumbler is rotated by the tumbler key to a third position past the locked position. The alarm communicates with a sense loop extending through a flexible expandable cord attaching the key to the housing. An LED provides a visual indication that the alarm is activated.
