Claim 17:
18. A combination lock with electronic override, comprising:
a knob rotatable between a first knob position in which the combination lock is in a closed position and a second knob position in which the combination lock is in an open position;
a coupler disposed distal the knob and shiftable between at least two positions, wherein in a first coupler position, the coupler is adjacent a bearing surface and the combination lock is in a locked position, and wherein in a second coupler position, the coupler is removed from the bearing surface and the combination lock is in a first unlocked position;
a circuit board including a processor;
a port in communication with the processor and configured to receive an access code;
an actuator in communication with the processor, the actuator operatively coupled to the coupler, wherein upon receipt of an access code by the port, the processor is configured to instruct the actuator to shift the coupler from the first coupler position to the second coupler position; and
one or more rotatable selectors each having multiple indicia disposed thereon, wherein rotation of the one or more rotatable selectors to predetermined indicium is configured to selectively shift the bearing surface between two positions, wherein in a first bearing position, the bearing surface is adjacent the coupler and the combination lock is in the locked position, and wherein in a second bearing position, the bearing surface is removed from the coupler and the combination lock is in a second unlocked position; and
wherein when the combination lock is in the first unlocked position or the second unlocked position, rotation of the knob selectively places the combination lock in the closed position and the open position, wherein when the combination lock is in the locked position, the coupler and bearing surface prevent rotation of the knob.
