     Sue;
     
     I would suggest a mechanical "cypher" lock. These are a 5 or 6 
     push-button lock and are self-locking provided the researcher shuts 
     the refrigerator door. I imagine that a hydraulic door closer could be 
     added...The combination is easy to change by the administrator. It is 
     all mechanical so you don't have to worry about batteries or a powered 
     deadbolt.
     
     I saw these used extensively while in the military. They were used to 
     secure the doors to radio rooms and other sensitive areas.
     
     You can find these in many industrial supply catalogs such as 
     McMaster-Carr.
     
     Best wishes

Greetings!  We're looking for a convenient way to secure the refrigerators 
and freezers our researchers use to store radioisotope stock solutions. 
We'd prefer not to use padlocks, combination or keyed, because we assume 
that researchers will be tempted to leave the padlock unlocked and hanging 
loose.  So we're trying to locate a source of keypad locks that could be 
installed on refrigerators.  Can you suggest any vendors? 
     
Thanks much for your help!
