Abstract:

An automatically locking delivery box is provided. The automatically locking delivery box has a base with a plurality of sidewalls rising therefrom, a locking system, and a lid hingedly attached to a top portion of a sidewall. The locking system can lock the lid to the sidewalls. A button is connected to the locking system such that the locking system can unlock one time when the button is actuated. The locking system detects when the lid is opened and automatically locks once the lid is closed again. The locking system also includes a keyhole for a complementary key which can be used to manually unlock the device. Once the locking system is unlocked by the button, it cannot be unlocked again until the key is used at which point the locking system is reset such that the button can be actuated, and the locking system can be unlocked one time.
