LOCKER ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
A process for installing lockers includes manufacturing a plurality of combination locks, wherein each combination lock includes a first scannable feature. The locks are installed in multiple locker assemblies. The locker assemblies each include a second scannable feature uniquely identifying the locker assembly. Each combination lock is associated with a corresponding unique serial number and unique combination. The unique serial numbers and unique combinations are stored in a database. The locker assemblies are provided to a locker installer and the locker installer installs the locker assemblies in a location. The first scannable feature is scanned using a scanner and a unique indicia of the combination lock is identified using the first scannable feature. A control chart is created by providing a scanner output to a remote computer system storing the database. The control chart associates each locker with a combination of the combination lock installed in each locker.
1 . A process for installing lockers comprising:
manufacturing a plurality of combination locks, wherein each combination lock includes a first scannable feature;
installing the locks in a plurality of locker assemblies, wherein the locker assemblies each include a second scannable feature uniquely identifying the locker assembly;
associating each combination lock with a corresponding unique serial number and unique combination and storing the unique serial numbers and unique combinations in a database;
providing the locker assemblies to a locker installer, installing the locker assemblies in a location;
scanning the first scannable feature using a scanner and identifying a unique indicia of the combination lock using the first scannable feature ; and
creating a control chart associating each locker with a combination of the combination lock installed in each locker by providing a scanner output to a remote computer system storing the database.
2 . The process of claim 1 , wherein each combination lock is characterized by a lack of integration with smart components.
