A wireless access control system for a door may include a lock assembly carried by the door that may include a lock, lock wireless communications circuitry, a proximity detector directed toward an interior area, interior and exterior antennas, and a lock controller. The lock controller may determine if the user is in the interior or exterior area based upon the proximity detector and a received signal strength at the interior and exterior antennas based upon wireless communication with a remote access device, enable lock switching based upon the received signal strength at the exterior antenna being greater than at the interior antenna, disable lock switching when the user is in the interior area and a difference between the received signal strength at the interior and exterior antennas is below a threshold, and switch the lock based upon communication with the remote access device and switching of the lock being enabled.

Wireless access control system for a door including proximity based lock disabling and related methods

A wireless access control system for a door may include a lock assembly carried by the door. The lock assembly may include a lock, lock wireless communications circuitry, a door position determining device, a touch sensor to sense touching by a user, and a lock controller. A remote access device may be remote from the lock assembly and may to communicate with the lock wireless communications circuitry. The lock controller may be configured to determine when the door is moved in a pattern based upon the door position determining device, perform an authentication of the remote access device based upon determining the door being moved in the pattern, and switch the lock from the unlocked position to the locked position based upon the authentication and the user touching the touch sensor.
