ABSTRACT:
A plurality of separately keyed padlocks, ranging in number from 7 to 150 or more, are securely held within a circular assembly that is rotated for selection of a specific padlock. This assembly of locks can be placed at a level for easy reach from a car window. Visible imprinted numbers provide a quick way for authorized members of a group to locate the padlock which a specific key will open. When opened and the padlock is turned opposite a slotted bar, moving the bar actuates a separately installed automatic gate-opener for access to an area.Alternatively, the system can be adapted for use manually by authorized personnel to lock or unlock a gate, door, or secured equipment.No padlock can be removed from the assembly except for periodic changing of a lock when an individual leaves the group and thus is no longer permitted to enter the closed area. If service personnel or visitors ask to enter through the gate-opener and are so authorized, provision for such access is possible without issuing duplicate keys or installing electronic equipment.
