Abstract
An electronic lock employs an electronic latch for operating the lock bolt. The lock utilizes a flexible member linked between a portion of the lock bolt and a solenoid device. Upon retraction of a solenoid driver, the flexible member pulls the deadlocking lever for latch retraction. When the flexible member is released by the driver, the bolt can extend for a subsequent opening.
