    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling electro-mechanical (EM) latches. An EM latch may be controlled by receiving dynamic key information from a smart device and static access card information from an access card. A signal generator sends a signal to actuate the EM latch upon verification of the dynamic key information or static access card information. The smart device may be associated with a single user or with multiple users.

  • Multi-point latch system
    Patent number: 6641182
    Abstract: A multipoint latch system for releasably securing a first panel member against an enclosure cabinet or frame, the latch system having a translatable rod member adapted to be carried on a door panel, a rod guide which is fixably mounted on the door panel, a panel block which is connected to the translatable rod member and a pawl member rotatably mounted to the panel block so that the arm translates with the rod member, there further being a camming mechanism which causes the pawl to move relative to the rod member as the pawl is translated with the rod. A keeper is provided for installation on a corresponding enclosure frame, and an actuator is provided to facilitate translation of the rod member to release the pawl from engagement with a keeper after.
