Lockable bolt device
A lockable bolt device for an interior of a door. The lockable bolt device includes a door attachment plate having a horizontal aperture therethrough, configured to securely attach to the door, and a jamb attachment plate having two horizontal apertures therethrough, configured to securely attach to a door jamb. The jamb attachment plate also includes a vertical aperture therethrough, such that the vertical aperture is configured to removably accept an angled bolt therethrough for storage of the angled bolt when the lockable bolt device is in an unlocked configuration. When the door is in a closed position and the horizontal apertures are aligned, the two plates are configured to accept the angled bolt through the horizontal apertures to secure the door in the closed position. The lockable bolt device is useful to prevent an individual from passing through the door from an exterior of the door.
Modular closure device for different closure elements
A modular closure device for different closure elements, such as finger levers, plate cylinders, profile cylinders, profile half cylinders, for locking a pivot lever in a recess, is described, wherein the closure elements can be inserted and fastened in a receptacle arranged in the recess or the pivot lever, either from the front or from the rear, characterised in that the closure device, which has an interchangeable insert adapted to the closure device and having a different design for the various receptacles, interacts with a guide in such a way that this can be inserted into the recess or into the pivot lever, and the recess or the pivot lever having the inserted interchangeable insert can be plugged in a door leaf through an opening in the door leaf or the like and can be fastened with a cap.
Method of installing door hardware
A method of installing a receiving member for a latch assembly or strike assembly in a door or jamb. The receiving member including a base plate, a wall around the perimeter of the base plate, the wall extending substantially perpendicular to the base plate, and a flange extending outwardly from the perimeter of the wall distal the base plate. The base plate has an aperture therein configured to allow a latch to pass therethrough.
DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY WITH SAFEGUARDING AGAINST BYPASSING
A lock portion of an electronic door lock system includes a first housing and a second housing secured to a backplate of the first housing. The second housing is secured to a first surface of the backplate and only accessible from a second surface of the backplate. One or more wires are secured to the second housing in a service loop and connected to an actuator within the second housing.
Door lock configured to be opened by one hand
A door lock includes a lock with a latch. An inside face plate and an outside face plate of the door lock are respectively mounted to an inside plate and an outside plate of the door lock. A washer plate is sandwiched between the inside face plate and the outside face plate. An inside cylinder and an outside cylinder are connected between the inside plate and the outside plate. An inside collar is connected between the inside face plate and the inside cylinder, and an outside collar is connected between the outside face plate and the outside cylinder. When the door lock is set in ready-to-open mold, the door can be opened by either rotating the shafts or the door handle by one hand. When the door lock is set in locked mold, the door cannot be opened by simply rotating the door handle.
Modular electronic deadbolt systems
A modular electronic deadbolt includes a bolt module having a first housing defining a first longitudinal axis, a motor disposed in the first housing, and a deadbolt configured to be linearly moveable in relation to the first housing along the first longitudinal axis by the motor. The modular electronic deadbolt also includes a battery module configured to be operatively coupled to the bolt module. The battery module includes a second housing configured to receive a power source, and a face plate coupled to the second housing. The faceplate defines a second longitudinal axis and includes an extension that extends along the second longitudinal axis. The extension is configured to removably couple the bolt module to the battery module such that the first longitudinal axis is substantially orthogonal to the second longitudinal axis.
LOCK ASSEMBLY FOR NON-PIVOTABLE DOOR
A locking assembly for a non-pivotable door is provided. The locking assembly comprises a spacer plate defining a spacer plate bolt void and a strike plate defining a strike plate bolt void. The spacer plate and strike plate are to be coupled to one another and further fixedly coupled to the non-pivotable door, such that the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void are aligned. The locking assembly further comprises a locking mechanism and a housing, which is configured to receive and contain the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a latch bolt that is moveable between a retracted position within the housing and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the latch bolt extends outwardly from the housing and into each of the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void, thereby locking the non-pivotable door to the housing.

LOCK MODULE WITH MECHANICAL OVERRIDE
An exemplary apparatus includes a housing, a lock mechanism mounted to the housing, an electromechanical driver, a first override mechanism, and a second override mechanism. The electromechanical driver is mounted to the housing and is operable to unlock the lock mechanism. The first override mechanism is movably mounted to the housing and is operable to unlock the lock mechanism. The second override mechanism is movably mounted to the housing and is operable to unlock the lock mechanism. The apparatus has a first configuration in which a lock cylinder is engaged with the first override mechanism such that actuation of the lock cylinder unlocks the lock mechanism. The apparatus has a second configuration in which the lock cylinder is engaged with the second override mechanism such that actuation of the lock cylinder unlocks the lock mechanism.
Door lock bolt plate pivot system, and associated structures and methods
Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.
