Abstract: A swing bolt lock mechanism for preventing false status switch enabling is described. The lock mechanism is a swing bolt lock mechanism wherein the swing bolt has an inner ramp wall against which a blocker rod is spring-biased. A ramp extension arm is displaceably secured with the swing bolt and provides an extension of the ramp wall whereby the blocker rod may only be displaced when the swing bolt is at its fully locked position whereby to arrest the swing bolt at that position. The displacement of the blocker rod also toggles a lock status switch to provide an indication that the lock is at its locked position. Accordingly, the lock status switch cannot be prematurely actuated.

Abstract: A relocking mechanism that blocks the path of a bolt within a lock assembly is presented. The relocking mechanism comprises a breakaway member that is repositioned when the lock assembly is attacked by some mechanical means, such as impact applied via a hammer and punch to the lock housing through a spindle hole in a door. The breakaway member prior to attack holds a preloaded relocking plunger clear from bolt movement. When the breakaway member is repositioned upon attack, the plunger is free to move under a biasing force into position so as to block the bolt thus keeping the lock in a secure locked state regardless of the state of the locks default blocking mechanism.
