Patent number: 11920379Abstract: An exemplary product line system includes a common platform and a plurality of component families, each of which includes a plurality of interchangeable component species configured for use with the common platform. The common platform includes an inside drive assembly and a chassis assembly including a chassis and an outside drive assembly. A lockset assembled from the system includes the common platform and a plurality of modular components. Each of the modular components corresponds to a respective one of the component families, and is provided as a selected species of the corresponding component family. The lockset has a function defined by the set of component species installed to the lockset. The function of the lockset can be changed by altering the set of component species installed to the lockset without disassembling the chassis assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Kenton H. Barker, Subbiah Gopalakrishnan, David J. Hurlbert, Kasey Wachtendorf, Snehil Solanki, Dilip Bangaru, Austin M. Roup, Rakesh Murali

Patent number: 11905735Abstract: A lockset including a chassis having a locked state and an unlocked state, a latchbolt connected with the chassis, a handle mounted to the chassis, and a lock cylinder connected with the chassis. The handle is operable to retract the latchbolt when the chassis is unlocked, and is inoperable to retract the latchbolt when the chassis is locked. The lock cylinder includes a shell and a plug selectively rotatable relative to the shell. The chassis is configured to transition from the locked state to the unlocked state in response to rotation of the plug in a first rotational direction from a home position to a first rotated position. The chassis is configured to return from the unlocked state to the locked state in response to rotation of the plug in a second rotational direction from the first rotated position to the home position.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Snehil Solanki, Kenton H. Barker, James D. Ohl, Greg Hebner, David J. Hurlbert
