Publication number: 20210148139Abstract: An actuator-controlled electric strike for operating in conjunction with a latch and deadbolt of a lockset. The strike comprises a housing, keeper, and deadbolt bracket. The housing includes a longitudinal length, a back wall extending along the longitudinal length, and side walls defining an entry chamber. The keeper is disposed in the entry chamber about an axis of rotation parallel with the back wall. The keeper is rotatable about the axis of rotation between locked and unlocked positions. The back wall is disposed opposite the keeper when the keeper is in the locked position. The deadbolt bracket is adjustably positioned in the entry chamber along the housing longitudinal length, wherein the deadbolt bracket includes a first wall, a second wall, and a bracket side wall connecting the first wall and the second wall. The deadbolt bracket defines at least a portion of a deadbolt receiving chamber for the deadbolt.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2021Publication date: May 20, 2021Applicant: Hanchett Entry Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Matthew Sims, Baruch Spence, Michael Allen Webb

Patent number: 10934744Abstract: An actuator-controlled electric strike operates in conjunction with a latch having an engaged position to secure a door in a closed state and a released position. The strike comprises a housing defining an entry chamber. A keeper is disposed in the entry chamber about an axis for rotation between a locked position and an unlocked position. A unitized actuator module is provided including a body, a keeper release and an actuator movable between first and second positions. When the actuator is in one of the first or second positions the keeper release is coupled to the keeper and the keeper is secured in the locked position. When the actuator is selectively moved to the other of the first or second positions the keeper release is decoupled from the keeper and the keeper is rotatable to the unlocked position.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2016Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Hanchett Entry Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Matthew Sims, Baruch Spence, Michael Allen Webb

Patent number: 10718137Abstract: A swivel lock assembly with electronic and manual actuating means to unlock a handle thereby permitting access to the interior of the cabinet wherein the manual actuator can override the electronic actuator and vice versa. When in a locked position, the handle rests within lock housing such that the handle engages a blocker mounted within the housing. To unlock the handle, the blocker is manipulated by electronic or manual actuation such that the handle is no longer constrained and can be swung away from the housing about a handle pivot.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Hanchett Entry Systems, Inc.Inventors: Dominik Scheffler, Dewey David, Michael Allen Webb

Patent number: 10563427Abstract: An integrated adjustable keeper shim for an electric strike is provided. The keeper shim may be included in a keeper assembly of the electric strike, wherein the electric strike includes a housing defining an entry chamber that operates in conjunction with a latch of a lockset. The engaged position of the latch secures a door within the entry chamber when the door is in a closed state. The keeper assembly comprises a keeper rotatably mounted to the housing, and is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The keeper retains the latch in the entry chamber when the keeper is in the locked position and the latch is in the engaged position. The keeper shim is adjustably mounted to the keeper, wherein a position of the keeper shim relative to the keeper is selected to minimize a gap defined between the keeper shim and the latch.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Hanchett Entry Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Matthew Sims, Michael Allen Webb

Patent number: 9163446Abstract: A door control apparatus and methods for controlling a door motion device for a hinged door and, optionally, illuminating a designated area on the floor. During the time the designated area is illuminated, a person can expect that the door will not close. The door control apparatus may include control circuitry, and a sensor, and optionally a light emitter and/or a sound emitter. The sensor detects a person proximate to the door and signals the control circuitry upon a detection event. The light emitter is also connected to the control circuitry. Upon a detection event, the control circuitry signals the light emitter to produce light and signals the door motion device to hold the door open. The light emitter directs light to form an image on the floor in the designated area. The light emitter may be, for example, a laser generator or a light emitting diode lamp.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2010Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Yale Security Inc.Inventors: Blue Houser, Tommy McNally, Michael Allen Webb, Max Stephen Smith, Asa Christiander

Patent number: 8544895Abstract: An strike door keeper assembly having first and second bodies matable to form an assembly body, a keeper subassembly disposed within said assembly body, and an actuator member such as an electric solenoid disposed within said assembly body the actuating member terminating in a blocker, wherein said keeper subassembly includes an axle journaled in at least one of said first and second interlocking bodies, a keeper flange pivotable on an axis of said axle and protruding through an opening in one of said first and second interlocking bodies, and a tang extending into interfering relationship with said blocker to fix said keeper flange in a locking position when said solenoid is in one of an energized and a de-energized state. In one aspect of the invention, the assembly includes a faceplate assembly having flanges and keys for mounting and preventing rotation of the door keeper assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2008Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Hanchett Entry Systems, Inc.Inventors: Michael Allen Webb, Scott Sullivan
