A device for preventing unwanted opening of a locked enclosure includes a lock bolt moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position. A face gear is meshable with and rotatable by the worm gear between locking and unlocking positions when the worm gear is driven in the first and second directions, respectively. A blocker member is rotatable between first and second positions. A biasing member is operatively coupled to the face gear and the blocker member to bias the blocker member in a biasing direction. A sliding member selectively disengages the blocker member to allow the blocker member to rotate in the biasing direction. A lever arm is operatively coupled to the sliding member such that the lever arm is in the disengaged and engageable positions when the sliding member engages the blocker member in the first and second positions, respectively.

1. A self-powered lock, comprising; a lock operable by a motor;a display device operable to display information regarding the lock to a user;a manually operable electricity generator generating electricity upon manual actuation by the user, the electricity generator electrically connected to the display device and the motor to supply electricity thereto for operating the lock and the display device;a lock bolt mounted for movement between a locked position and an unlocked position; a lever arm moveable between disengaged and engageable positions and operatively coupled to the lock bolt to move the lock bolt between the locked and unlocked positions;a rotary element engageable with the lever arm in the engageable position thereof, wherein rotation of the rotary element when the rotary element is engaged with the lever arm moves the lock bolt between the locked and unlocked positions;a worm gear driven by the motor in a first direction and a second direction;a face gear meshable with and rotatable by the worm gear between first and second positions when the worm gear is driven in the first and second directions, respectively;a blocker member rotatable between a locking position and an unlocking position;a biasing member operatively coupled to the face gear and the blocker member, wherein when the face gear rotates between the first and second positions, the biasing member biases the blocker member in an biasing direction, the biasing direction being a direction of rotation of the face gear; anda sliding member selectively engaging and disengaging the blocker member, wherein the sliding member selectively disengaging the blocker member allows the blocker member to rotate in the biasing direction, and the lever arm is operatively coupled to the sliding member such that the lever arm is in the disengaged and engageable positions when the sliding member engages with the blocker member in the locking and unlocking positions, respectively. 2. The self-powered lock of claim 1, wherein the display device further includes a display and a backlight, the display operable to display the information and the backlight operable to direct light on the display, and the electricity generator is electrically connected to the backlight. 3. The self-powered lock of claim 2, further comprising: a filtering device covering at least a portion of the display, the filtering device adapted to prevent a viewing of the display from a plurality of angles. 4. The self-powered lock of claim 2, wherein the electricity generator is electrically connected to the display. 5. The self-powered lock of claim 2, wherein the display is a liquid crystal display and the backlight is a light emitting diode. 6. The self-powered lock of claim 5, wherein the light emitting diode and the liquid crystal display are embedded in an at least semitransparent medium. 7. The self-powered lock of claim 6, wherein the at least semitransparent medium is epoxy. 8. The self-powered lock of claim 1, wherein the information displayed is at least one of a dialing combination, a dialing direction, and an operational menu. 9. The self-powered lock of claim 1 further comprising: an electricity storage device electrically connected between the electricity generator and the display device and between the electricity generator and the motor, the electricity storage device configured to store electricity received from the electricity generator and selectively and simultaneously supply electricity to the display device and the motor. 10. The self-powered lock of claim 9, wherein the electricity storage device is configured to regulate the electricity supplied to the display device such that at least a portion of the display device remains operational for a period of time after power generation stops. 11. The self-powered lock of claim 1, further comprising: a controller electrically connected between the electricity generator and the display device, the controller configured to supply a randomized clock signal to the display device. 12. The self-powered lock of claim 1, further comprising: a controller; anda first electricity storage device storing electricity generated by the electricity generator,wherein the controller determines a required amount of electricity to operate the motor and supplies electricity to the motor from the first electricity storage device according to a required amount. 13. The self-powered lock of claim 1, further comprising: a controller; andan electricity storage device storing electricity generated by the electricity generator,wherein at least a portion of the electricity stored by the electricity storage device is used when the lock is operated,wherein the electricity storage device is configured to store an unused portion of electricity after the lock is operated, the unused portion of electricity usable for a subsequent lock operation to supply power input to the controller. 14. The self-powered lock of claim 1, further comprising: a controller operative to supply electricity to the motor;an electricity storage device operatively coupled to the electricity generator;a rotatable lock dial coupled with the electricity generator to generate electricity upon rotation of the lock dial; anda sensor sensing a rate of rotation of the lock dial and operatively coupled with the controller,wherein the controller determines whether the lock dial is being rotated with an automated device,wherein when the controller determines that the lock dial is being rotated with the automated device, the controller maintains the lock in a locked position regardless of whether a correct lock combination is input.
