Publication number: 20260176890Abstract: A mounting system for a door lock is provided. The mounting system may include a chassis having a pocket and an attachment bracket. The attachment bracket may include at least one attachment post extending parallel to an attachment post axis and a retaining plate affixed to the at least one attachment post. The attachment bracket may move relative to the chassis between at least a first position and a second position to provide different mounting patterns for a variety of associated door lock components such as exit devices or trims.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2026Publication date: June 25, 2026Applicant: ASSA ABLOY Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Clark, Andrew S. Geraci, Rick Leites, Scott Morstatt, Eric Palmieri, Sharath Kumar Ramachandran, Jeffrey Rodriguez

Patent number: 12559968Abstract: A door lock system that adjusts to doors of different thicknesses. The door lock system may include self-adjusting spindles that engage and center a lock body in a door. The spindles may exert equal and opposing forces that center the lock body within the door and align the lock body with a latch.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: February 24, 2026Assignee: ASSA ABLOY Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc.Inventors: Rick Leites, Eric Palmieri, Sharath Ramachandran, Scott Morstatt, Douglas Clark

Publication number: 20250347151Abstract: A deadbolt lock includes a thumb turn that may be actuatable to move from a neutral position to extend/retract the deadbolt and configured to automatically move back to the neutral position while the deadbolt remains in the desired position. The thumb turn may extend below the escutcheon. An interior thumb turn may be configured to follow movement of the exterior thumb turn and remain in that position while the exterior thumb turn automatically moves back to the neutral position. The interior thumb turn thereby provides an indication that the deadbolt is in the extended position. A key cylinder having an axis of rotation may be positioned on the lock such that the axis of rotation of the key cylinder does not intersect with the deadbolt axis of movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2025Publication date: November 13, 2025Applicant: ASSA ABLOY Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc.Inventors: Rick Leites, Joseph Martone, Scott Morstatt

Publication number: 20250012111Abstract: A door lock system may include an outer spindle operatively connected to a disc with a larger diameter than a diameter of the outer spindle. The disc may include an opening that slidingly receives a lock spindle along a lock axis configured to engage a lock body. The lock spindle and the spindle opening may have complementary shapes and sizes such that the lock spindle is rotationally coupled to the disc about the center axis. Torque may be transmitted from a handle to the disc and from the disc to the lock spindle via the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: ASSA ABLOY Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Clark, Rick Leites, Scott Morstatt, Eric Palmieri, Sharath Kumar Ramachandran

Publication number: 20240376746Abstract: A door lock system includes a toolless handing assembly that selectively sets a handle in a left or right home position. The handing assembly may cooperate with a disc and a spring that biases the disc to a default position. The disc may be rotated in a first direction to set the disc in a first home position. A catch may engage the disc to retain the disc in the first home position. The catch may be released to return the disc to the default position and the disc may be rotated in a second direction to set the disc in a second home position, opposite the first home position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Applicant: ASSA ABLOY Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Clark, Rick Leites, Scott Morstatt, Eric Palmieri, Sharath Kumar Ramachandran

Patent number: 11885161Abstract: An electronic door lock system includes a gasket system for protecting electrical and mechanical components from exterior water and air. A lock portion may include a gasket, a circuit board, and a plate disposed between a first and second housing. The gasket includes an L-shaped perimeter that wraps around a first side and perimeter edge of the circuit board. The plate compresses the gasket perimeter against a ridge on the first housing to form a seal around the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: ASSA ABLOY Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Clark, Rick Leites, Scott Morstatt, Eric Palmieri, Sharath Ramachandran
