A modular electronic deadbolt includes a bolt module having a first housing defining a first longitudinal axis, a motor disposed in the first housing, and a deadbolt configured to be linearly moveable in relation to the first housing along the first longitudinal axis by the motor. The modular electronic deadbolt also includes a battery module configured to be operatively coupled to the bolt module. The battery module includes a second housing configured to receive a power source, and a face plate coupled to the second housing. The faceplate defines a second longitudinal axis and includes an extension that extends along the second longitudinal axis. The extension is configured to removably couple the bolt module to the battery module such that the first longitudinal axis is substantially orthogonal to the second longitudinal axis.

Modular electronic deadbolt systems

An electronic deadbolt includes a face plate and a housing having a first end and an opposite second end. The first end is releasably coupled to the face plate, and the housing further includes a bolt compartment defining a bolt axis and a battery compartment defining a battery axis. The bolt axis is substantially parallel to and offset from the battery axis, and the bolt compartment is separated from the battery compartment proximate the second end of the housing. The electronic deadbolt further includes a bolt module disposed within the bolt compartment. The bolt module includes a motor and a deadbolt, and the deadbolt is configured to be selectively linearly extended from the face plate along the bolt axis.

Electronic deadbolt systems

An apparatus has a housing with an elongate axis partially defining an interior chamber. A face plate is connected to the housing and defines a deadbolt opening. A circuit board disposed within the interior chamber has a first portion and second portion communicatively connected via a flexible ribbon. A battery holder is connected to the first portion. A sensor is connected to the second portion and is disposed proximate the deadbolt opening.

Locking system having an electronic keeper

A motor with a shaft and a shaft axis is disposed within a housing. A lead screw has an axis and is rotatably mounted in the housing. A deadbolt linearly extends from the housing based on rotation of the lead screw. A gear set with a plurality of gears, each having an axis, is disposed in the housing and operably connects the motor and the lead screw. A circuit board is disposed within the housing and has a plurality of portions communicatively connected by a ribbon. Each portion is disposed substantially orthogonal to the motor shaft axis, the lead screw axis, and the plurality of gear axes.

Locking system having an electronic deadbolt

A lock actuation assembly includes an escutcheon and a handle having a first end pivotably connected to the escutcheon at an interface. A link arm is pivotably mounted in the escutcheon and also comprises a first end. A projection is engaged with the first end of the handle and the first end of the link arm. A cam located in the escutcheon is rotatably engaged with a second end of the link arm. The cam includes a tailpiece adapted for engagement with a locking mechanism.

Handle-actuated sliding door lock actuation assemblies

A window frame has a sash and a panel that is disposed parallel to the sash, both of which are slidably disposed in the frame. A receiver is fixed at a first end of the frame. When the sash is in a first position, the sash is disposed within the receiver. When the sash is in a second position, the sash is disposed outside the receiver. A motor is fixed relative to the frame with a drive system connecting the motor to the sash or the panel. A control input is connected to the motor and is configured to receive a signal from a controller, a sensor, or a building management system.

Powered window system

A sliding door lock system has a centrally-disposed operator. The operator has a casing with a trigger retractably extended from the casing. An operator mechanism disposed in the casing is operatively engaged with the trigger. A lock remotely disposed from the operator has a housing. A pair of opposed locking hooks extend from the housing and a spring biases each hook into an unlocked position. A block pivotably connected to the housing is configured to engage the hooks when the hooks are in a locked position. An elongate member operably connects the operator mechanism to the block.

Opposed hook sliding door lock

A high security locking system can be used in a conventional pivot door adapted for use with a latch and deadbolt lock combination. The high security system can be a multi-point lock, received in a recess formed in a locking edge side of a door stile, cooperating with a linkage or other mechanism in a conventional deadbolt/location. The lock can be actuated with a keyed cylinder and thumb turn combination.

High security lock for door

A remote lock assembly includes a housing and a bolt adapted for sliding linear movement within the housing between an extended position and a retracted position. A latch disposed within the housing is adapted to releasably hold the bolt in the retracted position. A trigger disengages the latch from the bolt when contacting the latch. The trigger is biased into a position extending out from the housing. A spring biases the bolt into the extended position.

Automatically-extending remote door lock bolts

An apparatus has a housing with a release lever and an actuation lever pivotably connected to the housing. A gear is pivotably disposed within the housing and a release rack is adapted to engage the release lever. A pivoting movement of the release lever linearly moves the release rack, which engages and rotates the gear in a first direction. An actuation rack is adapted to engage the actuation lever. A pivoting movement of the actuation lever linearly moves the actuation rack which engages and rotates the gear in a second direction.

Entry door latch actuator system

A window balance may include a shoe body with an elongate portion and an enlarged portion. The elongate portion may include at least one carrier section for supporting a coil spring and an enlarged portion may include a locking element and a cam in communication with the locking element. The width of the enlarged portion may be greater than the width of the elongate portion. The spring may rest in the carrier section and may be secured to a window jamb with a fastener or a mounting element.

Inverted constant force window balance for tilt sash

A lock includes a housing and a slide mechanism adapted to translate in the housing along a locking axis. The lock includes one or more locking elements connected to the slide mechanism. The locking elements translate along the locking axis with the slide mechanism.
