An electronic lock with a latch assembly, an interior assembly, and an exterior assembly. The latch assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The assembly includes an internal spring actuating mechanism. The assembly also includes a touch keypad subassembly configured to detect touches to at least a portion of its surface.

Locking assembly with spring mechanism

A door lock system comprising a first rotary configured to control extension and retraction of the deadbolt via a primary cam mechanism; a second rotary control configured to control extension and retraction of the latch; and a link configured to retract the deadbolt in response to operation of the second rotary control when the latch is retracted by the second rotary control. The link is configured to move along a linear path normal to the movement of the deadbolt and the door latch and to contact the primary cam mechanism upon the link movement to affect deadbolt retraction and extension. A lever may be used to retract the latch in response to rotation of the first rotary control in a first rotational direction when the deadbolt is retracted by the first rotary control.

Multiple point door locking system

An electronic lock includes a latch assembly that has a latch housing and a bolt. The bolt is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The electronic lock includes a controller connected to a circuit board. The controller is configured to electronically control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. The electronic lock includes an exposed conductive touch member. The conductive touch member is in electrical communication with the controller. The electronic lock includes an insulating arrangement positioned between the conductive touch member and the circuit board. The electronic lock includes a housing at least partially surrounding the conductive touch member. The housing is electrically isolated from the conductive touch member by at least a portion of the insulating arrangement.

Touch isolated electronic lock

A wireless electromechanical lock with one or more of an internal antenna, touch activation, and/or a light communication device that acts as a user interface. In some embodiments, the lock utilizes an antenna near the exterior face of the lockset, designed inside the metal body of the lockset itself. A light communication device is provided in some embodiments to communicate information, visually, to the user via animations and dynamic displays of light. In some embodiments, the lockset includes a touch activation capability, which can be used to lock/unlock the lock and/or otherwise provide input.

Wireless lockset with integrated antenna, touch activation, and light communication method

An electronic security keypad assembly includes a cover made of sheet metal, a keypad, and a mounting plate. Tabs extending the from the cover engage dented tab receiving regions of the mounting plate to secure the cover to the mounting plate. The tabs, when bent around the dented tab receiving regions, are obscured from access when mounted to a door, deterring physical tampering with the electronic keypad assembly.

Electronic keypad assembly for lockset

A unitary connector assembly for a lock assembly and method of using same. The connector assembly includes at least two types of connectors. One connector would be configured for a first type of wiring and the second connector would be configured for a second type of wiring. The connector assembly includes a shell having at least one cavity. The first type of connector and second type of connector are both at least partially positioned within the cavity.

One-piece connector for lock assembly and method of same

In a lockable door system, the combination comprising a door locking first assembly installable in a door for control of operable use to lock or unlock the door, an upper assembly including a locking plunger, and to guide plunger travel upwardly at door top level into locking and unlocking position, an actuator assembly including a rotor rotatable by handle or push bar to control door locking and unlocking, and connecting the rotor with the plunger, and door edge sealing structure.

Door system and control

Deadbolt with circular light

A multi-function door lock system, comprising in combination, a frame having opposite sides, and installable on a door openable between an interior space and an exterior space, a deadbolt and a door latch carried by the frame to move between retracted and extended positions, a first rotary control located at one level on the frame to control deadbolt movement between extended and retracted positions via primary cam mechanism, a second rotary control at another level on the frame to control latch movement between extended and retracted positions, via secondary cam mechanism, means operatively connected between said secondary cam mechanism and the primary cam mechanism to effect deadbolt movement as aforesaid, in response to operation of the second rotary control, as effected via rotary input to the second rotary control from only one side of the frame. Means is also provided to be responsive to reverse rotation of the first rotary control to effect latch retraction independently of deadbolt displacement.

A locking system enabling selective handle turning direction to operate an unlocking mechanism is provided. The system comprises a handle, a gear rack driven linearly by rotation of the handle, and a plate removably coupled to the gear rack by a coupling means, wherein the plate moves in a first linear direction in response to handle rotation. When the coupling means is in a first position to couple the plate to the gear rack, a clockwise rotation of the handle displaces the plate in the first linear direction. When the coupling means is in a second position to couple the plate to the gear rack, a counter-clockwise rotation of the handle displaces the plate in the first linear direction. Movement of the plate in the first direction operates the unlocking mechanism.

Multiple point door locking system, with handle turning direction control

In combination, a door, two latches at an edge of the door, and door latch operating components at opposite sides of the door; displaceable structure in the door having a position blocking movement of the latches, first mechanism responsive to displacement of one of the components for displacing the structure from blocking position to allow movement of the latches, for door opening; and electrically operable actuating means for effecting displacement of the structure from blocking position to allow movement of the latches, for door opening.
