Abstract: A lockset assembly includes a first knob assembly having a projection with an enlarged head. A second knob assembly is configured to couple to the first knob assembly along a first axis. The second knob assembly including a rose liner with an opening is configured to receive the enlarged head of the projection in a bayonet connection. A retainer is coupled to the rose liner. The retainer defines a pocket shaped and sized to at least partially receive the projection, and the pocket is axially aligned with the opening. As the enlarged head is received within the opening, the retainer resiliently deflects to capture the projection within the pocket restricting disengagement of the enlarged head from the opening.

The processor is configured to execute instructions which cause the processor to compare stored biometric data to a received first biometric data. Each known user entry includes a user identity of a known user, biometric data, and an indication of whether the known user is an authorized user. Based on a determination that the first biometric data corresponds to a known user entry and whether or not the known user is an authorized user or an unauthorized user, a plurality of responses may be generated.

Abstract: A rekeyable lock cylinder with a cylinder body and a plug assembly. The lock cylinder includes a plurality of key followers and a corresponding plurality of racks disposed in the plug assembly. Disengaging the racks from the key followers allows rekeying of the lock cylinder.

Abstract: An electronic lock access management system includes an electronic lock and a server system. In some embodiments, the server system includes a memory storing a database including a plurality of user accounts, each user account being associated with a set of privileges and one or more properties, each property being associated with one or more locks, each of the locks being associated with one or more access codes that are specific to each user. In some embodiments, the electronic lock stores, in the lock memory, an encrypted copy of an access code list received from the server system based on a set of access codes that are associated with the electronic lock in the database.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and correcting insufficient locking behavior, using an electronic lockset. One aspect is a method of deadlatching an electronic lockset, the method comprising detecting motion of a deadbolt from an unlocked position toward a locked position, determining a position of the deadbolt after the motion ceases via a sensor of the electronic lockset, determining, based on the position, whether the deadbolt has moved to the locked position, wherein in the locked position the deadbolt is placed in a deadlatched state, and transmitting an actuation command to the electronic lockset to move the deadbolt into the locked position.

Abstract: A lockset that includes a latch assembly, an interior assembly and an exterior assembly. The latch assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The interior assembly is configured to electronically control movement of the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. The exterior assembly includes a locking assembly configured to be mechanically coupled with the latch assembly. The interior assembly includes an interior wireless communication unit and the exterior assembly includes an exterior wireless communication unit that is configured to wirelessly communicate therebetween. In some embodiments, an exterior assembly includes a photovoltaic cell and the interior assembly includes a light source. The light source and the solar cell are configured for wirelessly communicating and for power transmission between the exterior and interior assemblies through a bore hole in the door.

Abstract: A spout diverter includes a diverter housing and an actuator that extends into the diverter housing. A stem is engaged by the actuator to slide longitudinally to block and divert a water flow when the actuator is pushed into the diverter housing.

Abstract: A cap that is attachable to a shower head that includes a face portion and an opposite rear portion. The cap includes a plurality of holes extending from the face portion to the rear portion. Each hole is configured to receive a nozzle. The cap includes ornamental indicia positioned at the rear portion. The cap is at least semi-translucent, thereby allowing the ornamental indicia to be visible from the face portion of the cap.

Abstract: A deadbolt assembly with a latch assembly and a lock cylinder. The deadbolt assembly includes a first torque blade longitudinally extending along a first axis and a second torque blade longitudinally extending along a second axis. The second torque blade is operatively coupled with the latch assembly to actuate the bolt between the retracted position and the extended position. The deadbolt assembly includes a geared arrangement operatively coupling the first torque blade and the second torque blade. The gear arrangement is configured to apply rotational movement of the first torque blade to the second torque blade.

Abstract: An electronic lock assembly includes a latch assembly with a bolt along a first axis and a drive shaft extending along a second axis. The drive shaft selectively rotatable around the second axis to drive the movement of the bolt. A first assembly includes a wiring harness having a first connector extending therefrom. A second assembly is coupled to the drive shaft and includes a second connector configured to receive the first connector. The second assembly includes a housing having a surface configured to face a door when the housing is mounted to the door and a recess is defined within the surface. A connector holder clip is pivotably supporting the second connector and disposed at least partially within the recess. The second connector being movable between at least a first position whereby the second connector is parallel to the second axis and a different second position.

Abstract: A faucet having a retractable spray head with a dampened retraction feature. One aspect is a faucet assembly comprising a collar fixedly attachable to a hose, and a damper mechanism including a rotary damper including a pinion, and a rack including a hose catch that allows the hose to move freely until the collar intersects with a hose catch, wherein the rack and the pinion movably connect. When a faucet spray head is moving from an extended position to a retracted position, the hose passes through the hose catch until the collar intersects with the hose catch, the collar engaging with the hose catch to move together with the rack along the rotary damper, thereby slowing retraction of the faucet spray head until the faucet spray head is in the retracted position.

Abstract: A deadbolt includes a bolt assembly structured to mount inside a cavity between interior and exterior sides of a door. The bolt assembly includes a bolt housed inside a deadbolt latch. An exterior assembly is structured to mount onto the exterior side of the door. The exterior assembly is operably connected to the deadbolt latch to move the bolt between a retracted position and an extended position. An interior assembly is structured to mount onto the interior side of the door. The interior assembly is operably connected to the deadbolt latch and includes a manual actuator being operable to slide in opposite first and second linear directions causing the deadbolt latch to move the bolt between the retracted and extended positions.

Abstract: A latch assembly includes a bolt selectively moveable between an extended position and a retracted position. A cam blocker is included and positionable in different configurations. In one configuration, the cam blocker allows the bolt to move towards the retracted position with actuation of a handle in two different rotational directions. In another configuration, the cam blocker allows the bolt to move towards the retracted position with actuation of the handle in only one rotational direction. The latch assembly is also adjustable between at least two different backset distances.
