Abstract
A lock clutch is provided to selectively couple a knob to a lock. In a locked configuration the clutch decouples the knob from the lock, so that rotating the knob does not operate the lock. In an unlocked configuration, the clutch rotationally connects the knob to the lock such that the lock may be operated by turning the knob. According to some embodiments, the knob may be a thumb turn and the lock may be a deadbolt lock.
