1. A system having a retrofitted locker storage unit with an electronic locking subsystem, comprising:
a locking device that is controlled electronically by one or more signals received from a first processing unit and said locking device being positioned inside said locker storage unit, said first processor receive signals from one or more mobile units to control a locked condition and an unlocked condition associated with the locking device;
a reciprocal locking element positioned inside said locker storage unit and capable of being engaged with the locking device, said locker storage unit placed in the locked condition when the locking device and the reciprocal element are engaged and said locker storage unit placed in the unlocked condition when the locking device and the reciprocal element are disengaged, wherein access to contents in the locker storage unit is permitted when the locking device and the reciprocal element are disengaged and access to the contents in the locker storage unit is prevented when the locking device and the reciprocal element are engaged;
a bracket frame having a length in proportion to one internal dimension of the locker storage unit, said bracket frame having a cavity extending longitudinally along the length of the bracket frame with said cavity being defined between a front panel, a first sidewall panel, a second sidewall panel, a first partial back panel and a second partial back panel;
said front panel being coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, said first sidewall being coupled to said first partial back panel, said second side wall being coupled to said second partial back panel;
an open slot associated with said bracket frame being defined between the first partial back panel and the second partial back panel; and,
an aperture on the front panel of said bracket frame, said locking device being positioned proximate to said aperture on the bracket frame;
one or more wire cables extending through the cavity of the bracket frame, said one or more wire cables being coupled to the locking device and providing said one or more signals from said processing unit to electronically control the locked condition and the unlocked condition of the locking device, said locking device receives power from the wire cables located in the cavity of the bracket frame; and,
said processing unit is coupled to a radio transceiver system capable of receiving signals in a wireless transmission signal and said first processing unit being coupled to a control panel, said first processing unit receive signals from a wireless transmission to control the locked and unlocked condition associated with the locking device and said first processing unit, in response to the signals received, transmits said one or more signals to said locking device.
