1. A keyless lock apparatus comprising:
a body portion comprising a C-shaped aperture defined by an upper lateral surface, a vertical side wall and a lower lateral surface,
wherein the body portion comprises a cylindrical aperture vertically extending through a lower portion of the body portion and partially through an upper portion of the body portion;
a straight shackle comprising a cylindrical body slidably disposed through the cylindrical aperture, the straight shackle comprising a groove disposed on a lower area of the cylindrical body,
wherein an upper circumference of the cylindrical body is mateably interfaced with the cylindrical aperture at the upper portion of the body portion when the straight shackle is configured in a locked position,
an adapter portion selectively interfaced with the C-shaped aperture of the body portion, the adapter portion comprising a protrusion disposed on a bottom surface of the adapter portion and a vertical aperture configured to receive the cylindrical body of the straight shackle therethrough,
wherein the protrusion is configured to be mateably interfaced with a receiving channel disposed on the lower lateral surface of the body portion;
a controller housed within an interior area of the body portion and configured to receive a wireless command signal from a mobile electronic device;
an electronic actuator operably engaged with the controller, wherein the electronic actuator is operably configured to actuate a locking pin in response to a command by the controller,
wherein the locking pin is securely interfaced with the groove disposed on the lower area of the cylindrical body of the straight shackle when the straight shackle is configured in the locked position; and
a battery operably engaged with the controller and the electronic actuator to provide a flow of power to the controller and the electronic actuator.
