Abstract: Door lock systems and related methods of use are provided. A motor of a door lock system may be placed against a surface of a housing and a bracket may be placed between the motor and a wall of the housing. The motor may be secured in the housing by moving the bracket against the wall of the housing to retain the bracket and apply a force to the motor. A door lock system may include a mounting bracket configured to receive a housing of the door lock system and secure the door housing to an associated door.

Abstract: A rotary knob for operating an electronically actuable deadbolt is described herein. According to some embodiments, the rotary knob includes a chassis, an outer wall rotatably coupled to the chassis about a central axis of the knob, a cantilevered beam attached to an inner surface of the outer wall and extending towards the central axis of the knob such that the beam is configured to rotate with the outer wall about the central axis, a circuit board coupled to the chassis, the circuit board including signal traces, and an electrical contact extending from the cantilevered beam in a direction toward the signal traces and electrically connectable with the signal traces. A controller of the rotary knob is configured to determine a position of the deadbolt based on at least the state of the electrical connection between the electrical contact and the signal traces.

Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure include a lid for covering a vessel, having a cover portion and a base portion, and methods of operating such a lid. The cover portion and the base portion may be separate individual pieces. In some implementations, the cover portion is adapted to slide along the base portion between an open position and a closed position. In some instances, the cover portion slides along an arcuate path. In some implementations, when the cover portion is in a cover-removal position, it can be separated from the base portion without separating the base portion from the vessel. In such implementations, when the cover portion is in a lid-removal position, the cover portion and the base portion can be separated from the vessel while remaining attached to one another.
