The invention relates to a lock (1) which can be unlocked in an electrically automated manner, in particular for use for storage systems like lockers. In this case, a blocking element (9) is provided which can be inserted into the lock (1), can be blocked in the lock (1) and in this case holds a locker door (2), which is firmly connected to the blocking element (9), in the closed position. Furthermore, a blocking catch (14) is provided which can be moved rotationally in a limited manner and which, on assuming its blocking position, engages either directly or indirectly via at least one coupling element (12), which is mounted such that it can move, with the blocking element (9). The essential feature in this case is that the section of a force introduction point (33') for the blocking force into the blocking catch (14) is designed such that force and impulse introduction, which are dependent on an interlock on the installation, from the blocking element (9) or from an intermediate coupling element (12), which may be provided, to the blocking catch (14) occurs directed virtually exclusively radially with respect to the pivoting axis (31) thereof, and any tangential force or impulse components which may occur can be transmitted virtually exclusively by friction forces to the force introduction point (33'). This achieves increased security against external manipulatory actions.
