A locking assembly used in a storage unit, the locking assembly comprising: a rotatable cylindrical locking core within a housing, the locking core defining a longitudinal axis; the locking core operating between a locked position and an unlocked position; a cammed lever operating between a first position when the locking core is in the locked position and a second position when the locking core is in the unlocked position; the cammed lever operating between the second position and a third position; the cammed lever comprising a latch to prevent movement of the cammed lever relative to the housing upon movement from the second position to the third position; and the cammed lever is movable from the third position to the second position upon operation of the latch, wherein when the cammed lever is moved from the second position to the third position and the storage unit is opened, the cammed lever is thereby prevented from returning to the second position from the third position until the storage unit is closed.
