Patent number: 11091934Abstract: An apparatus for releasably coupling a lock assembly to a structure. An inner housing and an outer housing are positioned on opposite sides of the structure. An elongate rod extends throughout the inner housing and into the outer housing. The elongate rod is configured to slide axially within an internal bore of the outer housing until a handle engages the inner housing. The elongate rod is configured to couple the inner and outer housing to the structure when the lever is rotated approximately one quarter of a full turn (90 degrees).Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Austin Michael Roup, Kenton Hayes Barker, Steve Verderaime, David John Hurlbert

Patent number: 9816292Abstract: Lock devices, systems, and methods that can include an internal mechanism to permit backdriven operation and lost motion operation. In one form the lock includes an assembly of parts that includes parts having locating features that can assist in those parts being assembled with other parts of the assembly in a single, relative orientation. Further, lost motion may be utilized to accommodate manual displacement of one or more components that can also be displaceable, in at least certain situations, via operation of a motor. The lock can also include an internal power source capable of driving electronics used to determine handedness of a door.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Aaron P. McKibben, Kenton Hayes Barker

Patent number: 9482038Abstract: A latch spacer for securing a latch assembly in a hollow inner region of a door. The latch spacer includes a plurality of sidewalls. At least a portion of the sidewalk abut against inner surfaces of the sidewalls of the door to provide a friction fit that secures the latch spacer within the inner region. The latch spacer also includes an inner wall that generally defines an opening that is adapted to receive placement of at least a portion of a latch housing. The latch spacer may include at least one crush rib that extends from the sidewalls of the latch spacer. The latch spacer may be arranged in a plurality of orientations to accommodate various door thicknesses. Additionally, portions of the latch spacer may be configured to bend or flex slightly to assist in the latch spacer being able to adjust to different door thicknesses.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Kenton Hayes Barker, Peter Malenkovic
