Abstract: A door check assembly comprises a guide block and a one-piece or multi-piece elongate linkage having a range of travel back-and-forth through the guide block between a first position and a second position corresponding to open and closed positions, respectively, of a door assembly incorporating the door check assembly. A locking pin or other check-lock member is mounted in the guide block for movement between a locking position and an unlocking position. A check-lock actuator, e.g., hand-operated, electric, etc., is operatively connected via linkage directly or indirectly (i.e., alone or in combination with other link members) connecting the check-lock actuator to the check-lock member. The check-lock actuator is mounted in a door at a position, e.g., remote from the check-lock in order to be more convenient for the user. The check-lock actuator is operative via the linkage member to move the check-lock member between the locking position and the unlocking position.
