  • Patent number: 11913253
    Abstract: An electronic lock, such as a deadbolt, with a locking device movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lock includes a key fob including a RFID circuit indicative of a valid access code for the locking device. A circuit is provided that is configured to control movement of the locking device between the locked position and the unlocked position. The circuit includes a sensor, such as a contract sensor or a proximity sensor, which detects when a user is within range of a RFID device. When this happens, the sensor is configured to generate an electrical signal, which is used to activate the RFID device for a predetermined period of time. If the RFID device reads a valid access code, the device is unlocked.

  • Publication number: 20240052672
    Abstract: A trim surround is installable around a trim plate of a door latching assembly. The trim surround may have a shape complementary to and installable around an outer perimeter of a trim plate. The trim surround can have a front edge and a rear edge, and a retaining mechanism. The trim surround may be ring shaped to be complementary to a round trim plate of the door latching assembly. In some cases, the retaining mechanism can include a flange that extends inwardly of the trim plate such that the flange retains the trim surround in place around the trim plate when the door latching assembly is mounted to a door.
