Abstract
A lock assembly that secures a door to an adjacent frame. The assembly includes an elongated base, a cam assembly mounted to the base including a housing, a lever, and a sliding member having a first end slidably connected to the lever and movable in a direction perpendicular to the base by rotation of the lever, an extension actuator having a proximal end movably connected to a second end of the sliding member, and a lock mechanism mounted to the elongated base and movable between unlocked and locked positions. The second end of the sliding member extends to a position within the housing upon full rotation of the lever. The extension actuator and base may permit modular addition of lock mechanisms at multiple locations.
