A sliding door roller for a sliding door includes a slide disposed within a housing and a truck assembly disposed within the slide. When the truck assembly is retracted within the slide, the truck assembly and the slide are at least partially engaged to as to restrict or prevent the truck assembly from dropping out of the housing and rotating within the housing. The truck assembly being disengaged from the slide via an adjustment fastener to move the truck assembly towards and extended position relative to the housing.

A window sash interlock includes a housing configured to mount to a side rail of a window sash. The housing includes a front face that substantially aligns with a surface of the side rail. A locking member is pivotably coupled to the housing about a pivot axis. The locking member is disposed at least partially within the housing and is movable between at least a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member is biased so as to automatically return to the unlocked position, and in the unlocked position, the locking member at least partially extends from the front face of the housing.

Automatic window sash interlock

An electronic deadbolt includes a housing, a deadbolt configured to extend or retract from the housing, and a drive system disposed at least partially within the housing. The drive system includes an electric motor and a leadscrew coupled between the electric motor and the deadbolt. The leadscrew is rotatable about a longitudinal axis so as to dive movement of the deadbolt. The drive system also includes a flexible coupling disposed between the electric motor and the leadscrew and is configured to absorb torsional loads generated by the movement of the deadbolt.

Flexible coupling for electronic deadbolt systems

An electronic drive for a lock assembly includes a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, and at least one link bar coupled to the motor. The at least one link bar at least partially extends out of the housing. The electronic drive also includes a driven disk coupled to a first end of the at least one link bar and rotatable about a rotational axis. The driven disk is adapted to couple to the lock assembly, and upon rotation, extend and retract at least one locking element. In operation, the motor selectively drives substantially linear movement of the at least one link bar to rotate the driven disk about the rotational axis.

Electronic drive for door locks

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.

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

An electronic remote lock actuator includes a face plate defining a longitudinal axis. A housing disposed adjacent to the face plate. A motor disposed in the housing, and a first drive bar configured to be linearly moveable along the longitudinal axis by the motor. The first drive bar includes a first end and an opposite second end. The first end is configured to be secured to a second drive bar of a mechanical remote lock assembly such that linear movement of the first drive bar is translated to linear movement of the second drive bar along the longitudinal axis.

Modular multi-point lock

An access system for a structure includes a control box mounted within a controlled access space of the structure and operatively coupled to a door panel operator that opens and closes a door panel of the structure for access to the controlled access space. The control box is configured to detect a presence of a security device relative to the control box, determine a position of the security device relative to the structure, and determine an authorization of the security device. The access system also includes a user interface mounted in an uncontrolled access space of the structure and coupled in communication with the control box. Upon actuation of the user interface, the control box operates the door panel operator when the security device is positioned proximate the control box, located in the uncontrolled access space of the structure, and authorized to operate the door panel.
