  • Publication number: 20120266640
    Abstract: A lock is disclosed having a set of pin tumblers in the lock cylinder in addition to the lever tumblers to prevent rotation of the cylinder without a key to release the driver pins that engage the cylinder and prevent rotation. The key has pin tumbler cuts on the edge of the key. Because the pin tumblers and the related pin tumbler cuts on the edge of key can be spaced randomly along the length of the key and because the lengths of the pin tumblers and the depths of the pin tumbler cuts in the key can be random, the ability to create a duplicate key rendered substantially more difficult then a key with only lever tumbler cuts.

  • Patent number: 4776619
    Abstract: The lock assembly of the present invention is mounted in a lock frame. A slide member is disposed for translation within the lock frame. A lock bolt is pivotally mounted within the lock frame and extends through it for engagement with a door keeper in a door frame. A lock bolt detent is pivotally mounted to the slide member for maintaining the lock bolt in a secure position when the door is closed. Actuation of movement of the slide member results in movement of the lock bolt detent away from the lock bolt followed by pivotal motion of the lock bolt as a pin on the slide member engages the lock bolt and lifts clear of the door keeper. The door is sprung open by a spring loaded plunger which extends out of the lock frame.
