  • Patent number: 11105118
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a door handle having a grip with a first end and a second end. The door handle further includes an upper mounting plate coupled to the first end of the grip and a lower mounting plate coupled to the second end of the grip. A mounting post is coupled to the lower mounting plate and is configured to move relative to the lower mounting plate. Means for adjusting the position of the mounting post with respect to the lower mounting plate facilitate movement of the mounting post along at least two axes. The means for adjusting the mounting post may further comprise a rotating arm that is pivotally connected to the lower mounting plate and to which the mounting post is attached.

  • Publication number: 20080078224
    Abstract: A reset cradle with integral reset tool assembly, that automatically positions the lock cylinder, the reset tool assembly, and all associated components, and choreographs the operations that need to be performed in the right sequential order. The reset cradle generally comprises a two-section housing including a base section with centrally-protruding tubular post into which the lock cylinder may be inserted, and a separate hub section rotatably seated on the base. Inside the housing, a cam is engaged against the post and is rotatable thereabout along with relative rotation of the two-section housing. A reset member is also operative inside the housing, and is engaged by rotation of the cam for axial displacement into the lock cylinder. Similarly, a detent pin is slidably seated in the post and is engaged by the cam for axial displacement into the lock cylinder.
