Abstract
Described herein is a Near Field Communication disc lock. The disc lock has a near field communication antenna which receives the near field signal to lock or unlock the disc lock. The antenna passes the signal via wires to a near field circuit board which controls the lock motor which turns a lock cam to pressure or release a lock ball. The lock ball triggers the lock ball lever to lock or unlock the lock ring. In this manner, there is now an NFC lock which cannot be cut with bolt cutters.
