Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for storing energy in a electromechanical lock. The electromechanical lock can include a main housing and a deadbolt. The main housing can be configured to extend a deadbolt along a path to lock and/or unlock a door. The deadbolt can have a hollow inner region configured to receive an energy storage device. The energy storage device within the deadbolt can be electrically connected to the main housing. The energy storage device can be used to power an actuator and/or accelerometer in the main housing.

The invention refers to a lock system consisting of a hub cap (1), with a decentralized hole (2) for key insertion (3), where the lid (1) has appropriately inclined levels of pin pressure (7) and a key (8). The lid (1) is rotatable and it pushes a roller (21) through the sloping pin pressure level (7) which is located on the upper side of the lid (19) which pushes down a cluster of springs (15), (18) from locking (16) and alignment (17) pins, in order for the latter to align, allowing the case (9) and the hub (10) to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the lid (1) pushes the key (3) inside the hub (10) in order to engage the two gears (24), (30), which will allow, through a knob (28), the opening of the latch bolt (26).

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.
