ABSTRACT:
A security lock for retaining a weapon in a storage rack can be operated either electrically by a remote switch or mechanically by a key. The weapon is locked to a main body by a lid which is pivotally mounted by a hinge and pivot pin on the body. The plunger of a solenoid extends into a slot formed in the pivot pin preventing it from rotating when the lid is in a locked position and the solenoid deenergized. A key actuated detent locks the pivot pin to the lid when the detent is in key locked position. Actuation of the solenoid retracts the plunger permitting the lid to pivot to open position without operating the key operated detent which maintains the pivot pin locked to the lid. Retraction of the key operated detent unlocks the pivot pin from the lid to enable the pivot pin to be slid axially along the hinge to disengage the solenoid plunger from the pivot pin slot permitting the lid to move to open position without energizing the solenoid.
