Abstract: A conversion kit and conversion method employs an electronic module which is installed to the interior side of a door and interacts with a lockset to provide for an electronically controlled lockset. An electromechanical assembly which connects between the electronic module and the mortise lockset has a clutch. The clutch functions to mechanically allow free egress from the secured side of the door in the event that the latch bolt and the deadbolt are disposed in intermediate positions between the fully retracted unlocked positions and the fully projected locked positions due to power failure or other conditions.

Abstract: An electrically controlled door lock device with a lockset with an inside handle, an outside handle, a spring loaded continuous spindle, biased to maintained a lockset's latch in a projected position and connecting the lockset and the outside handle, a first half and a second half of a clutch connecting the continuous spindle and the inside handle with a spring maintaining the second half of the clutch in predetermined position relative to the first half of the clutch. There is also a mechanical means blocking the first half of the clutch from rotation and electromechanical means controlling the blocking means, the mechanical means built into the second half of the clutch, allowing the second half of the clutch a predetermined degree of free rotation before it engages with the first half of the clutch, the mechanical means built into second half of the clutch, mechanically inhibiting the blocking means.

Abstract: An override mechanism is for an electronic door lock assembly that includes a handle, a retractor and an electronic clutch mechanism with a movable coupler and an actuator. The coupler operatively connects the handle with the retractor when the coupler is located in an engaged position and the actuator is operable to displace the coupler between a nonengaged position and the engaged position. The override mechanism includes a movable override member configured to displace the clutch coupler between the nonengaged and engaged positions. The override member also retains the clutch coupler at the engaged position when the override member is disposed at an unlock position and prevents displacement of the coupler during actuator operation when the override member is disposed at a lockout position. Further, a manual drive, preferably including a cylinder lock, is configured to displace the override member between the unlock and lockout positions.

Abstract: A high security exit system employs a door latching assembly which cooperates with a frame latching assembly mounted to the door frame. The frame latch is mounted for pivotal movement and has a latching surface movable toward a projected position. When the door is closed, the door and frame latching surfaces are projected and engaged in opposed surface-to-surface orientation. A direction of force resulting from an attempt to forcibly disengage the latching surfaces is directed through or close to the pivot access of the door latch. An override assembly is provided to force the frame latch to a retracted position when the door is opened. Auxiliary latch assemblies and corresponding frame latch assemblies are provided for coordinated latching and retraction when the push bar retracts the primary door latch. Dual latch assemblies are also provided. A solenoid mechanism may be employed to dog the push bar.

Abstract: A lock assembly including a housing, a fastener that has a head, a lock member that is movable between a first position and a second position, and a barrier that is movably disposed within the housing. The barrier is displaceable between a first position at which the barrier at least partially covers the fastener head, and a second position at which the fastener head is generally accessible. The barrier is coupled with the lock member such that the barrier displaces from the barrier first and second positions when the lock member displaces between the lock member first and second positions.

Abstract: A security system for monitoring a door movably disposed within a frame a lock adjustable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration and a lock sensor configured to generate a signal when the lock adjusts to the unlocked configuration. A door sensor is configured to generate a signal when the door displaces with respect to the frame and an alarm device is configured to provide an alarm. A control is coupleable with the lock and door sensors and is switchable between armed and disarmed modes. The control is configured to operate in the armed mode such that the control activates the alarm when the control receives the door sensor signal prior to a receipt of the lock sensor signal. Alternatively, the control switches to the disarmed mode when the control receives the lock sensor signal prior to a receipt of the door sensor signal.

The barrier is displaceable between a first position at which the barrier at least partially covers the fastener head, and a second position at which the fastener head is generally accessible. The barrier is coupled with the lock member such that the barrier displaces from the barrier first and second positions when the lock member displaces between the lock member first and second positions.

Abstract: A shield device is for fastener(s) of a lock assembly that is adjustable between inoperable and operable states, each fastener including a head and being removably engageable with a door to connect the lock assembly therewith. The shield device includes a barrier displaceable between a first position, where the barrier covers the fastener head to prevent removal of the fastener, and a second position where the fastener is accessible to permit removal. The barrier is disposed in the first position when the lock is in the inoperable state and in the second position when the lock is in the operable state. Preferably, the lock assembly includes a member that adjusts the lock assembly between the operable and inoperable states and the barrier is coupled with the member. As such, when the lock member adjusts the lock assembly between the two states, the barrier displaces between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A lock system (10) includes a lock adjustable between locked and unlocked configurations and at least one and preferably two input devices (30, 22) each configured to generate or/and receive user input, each input having a value. A controller (16) is operatively with the lock, coupled with the input device(s) (22, 30) to receive user input, and has memory with at least first and second data files, the first file having at least one stored value. The controller (16) is configured to receive first and second user inputs, to compare the first input value with the first file(s) value, and to store a particular second input value within the second data file when the particular first input value correspond with at least one value in the first file, thus enrolling the user. Thereafter, the lock is preferably unlocked using only the second user input, which is carried by a key unit or a user physical feature.

Abstract: A deadbolt lock assembly comprising a retractable and extendable deadbolt, a housing, an outside member movably mounted on the housing, the member being normally disconnected from the deadbolt, and an operator input device on the housing, the device connecting the member to the deadbolt in response to presentation of an appropriate credential, such that a force applied to the member by the operator is mechanically transmitted to the deadbolt to move the deadbolt.
