Abstract: A door position monitoring mechanism mounted in the edge of a door that senses whether a door is opened or closed by sensing the absence or presence of a magnetic field of a magnet that is mounted in the door frame. Information regarding the door position is then transmitted to a battery operated wireless access control system mounted on the same door through wires extending from the door position monitoring mechanism.

Abstract: A battery-powered security device for controlling access through a door by authorized uses which includes a lock operated by a low power driven motor; a keyboard by which a user enters codes or programming; a programmable circuit including a microprocessor, data memory and program memory. The device opens the lock in response to a correct code entered through the keyboard and/or to a chronological schedule enabled by a clock marking real time. An LED provides a wireless link to a hand-held printer so that the device may be programmed with access codes and time schedules and prints out a list of users and times of entry. The operative programs in memory can be added or modified by means of the keyboard. The coupling between the motor shaft and key plunger is designed to avoid accidental misuse such as a user holding the door handle while the motor is turning.
