Claim:
A locker lock comprising: a lock housing for assembly with a locker; a lock interface disposed on an external surface of the housing; a rotary locking mechanism partially received within the lock housing and rotatable about a first axis between a locked position and a release position, the rotary locking mechanism being biased toward the release position by a rotary biasing member; a locking bolt biased toward a first position by a bolt biasing member, the locking bolt including a retaining portion that engages a bolt interlocking portion of the rotary locking mechanism to hold the rotary locking mechanism in the locked position when the locking bolt is in the first position; and a locking mechanism configured to move the locking bolt against the bolt biasing member and in a direction parallel to the first axis from the first position to a second position in response to proper manipulation of the lock interface; wherein movement of the locking bolt to the second position allows the rotary locking mechanism to rotate from the locked position to the release position, the rotary locking mechanism including a bolt blocking portion configured to hold the locking bolt in the second position when the rotary locking mechanism is in the release position; and further wherein the entirety of the locking bolt, the bolt interlocking portion, and the bolt blocking portion of the rotary locking mechanism are disposed entirely within the lock housing when the locking bolt is in the first and second positions.
