An electronic door lock includes a dead bolt moved by a deadbolt transmitting assembly, a spring-loaded latch bolt moved by a latchbolt transmitting assembly, a lock core rotated by a core transmitting assembly, and a spring-loaded prying resisting member. A monitoring unit includes sensors respectively corresponsive to those assemblies and the prying resisting member, and a security controller which performs a security procedure in accordance with position of those assemblies and the prying resisting member sensed by the sensors.

A access control system includes a catch configured to be affixed to an inner portion of an enclosure, a latch configured to engage the catch when the catch is attached to the enclosure and an access door of the enclosure is in a closed position. The access control system is configured to detect, using one or more sensors, when the latch is within a predetermined proximity of the catch, and responsive to detecting that the latch is not within the predetermined proximity of the catch, determine whether an authorized credential was received via a communication interface to open the latch, and when the authorized credential was received, register an authorized opening of the latch in a memory device, and when the authorized credential was not received, register an the unauthorized opening of the latch in the memory device and enter an alert state.

A door locking device for a smart door apparatus (10) is provided comprising an interior door handle positionable on an interior side of a door; an exterior door handle positionable on an exterior side of the door (14); a lock for the door (14) which is coupled to the interior door handle, the lock having a deadbolt which is activatable by actuation of the interior door handle; a controller for automatically generating an alert signal in the event of activation of the deadbolt; and a wireless communication module associated with the controller, the wireless communication module automatically transmitting the alert signal in the event of activation of the deadbolt.

The invention relates to a transportable device for preventing a loss of a movable object, comprising a protective housing (2) for protecting the device (1), an electronic alarm device (35), which is arranged in the protective housing (2) and has an anti-theft alarm function, and fastening means (11) for detachably fastening the device (1) to the movable object, wherein the fastening means (11) comprise at least one wrap-around element (12; 46; 52; 59; 68) for wrapping around at least one part of the movable object and wherein the wrap-around elements (12; 46; 52; 59; 68) can be fixed by means of locking elements (19, 20, 21; 49, 50, 51; 55, 57, 58; 61, 63, 64, 65; 71, 72, 73), which are arranged in the protective housing (2), wherein the locking elements (19, 20, 21; 49, 50, 51; 55, 57, 58; 61, 63, 64, 65; 71, 72, 73) can be selectively opened and closed by means of a lock device (13) rigidly connected to the protective housing (2), and wherein additionally the protective housing (2) can be selectively opened and rigidly connected to the protective housing (2), and wherein additionally the protective housing (2) can be selectively opened and closed by means of said lock device (13) and access to at least one chamber (18, 33) in the protective housing (2) is thereby enabled.

An access control system cooperates with a security system. The access control system may be used to control aspects of the security system and the security system may be used to control aspects of a lockset used to lock or unlock an access point (e.g., door). A user can choose to arm or disarm the security system via the access control system and similarly the user may choose to lock or unlock the access point via the security system.

A latch is configured to be affixed to an inner portion of a door to an enclosure and to engage a catch attached to an inner portion of the enclosure when the door is in a closed position/A housing is affixed to an outer portion of the door and includes a memory device and a latch controller configured to detect when the latch is no longer within a proximity of the catch. The controller is configured to electronically open the latch to open the access door. The housing also includes an emergency access portal aligned with and providing access through the access door by an instrument to at least the catch to engage the catch and release the access door. The latch controller detects that the latch is no longer within the predetermined proximity of the catch and registers the opening of the latch in the memory device.

Locks, systems and methods of monitoring a lock, the lock having a hub with a slot rotatable by a handle to open and close a latchbolt. A locking member is moveable into and out of engagement with the hub slot to prevent and permit movement of the hub and latchbolt. A sensor on the lock, adjacent the hub and locking member, monitors a moving lock component. The sensor may sense the position of the locking member in or out of engagement with the hub slot. The sensor may be a reed switch actuated by a magnet on the moving lock component. The lock may further include a magnet mounted on the hub and the sensor may comprise a reed switch capable of being actuated by the magnet on the hub. The lock and system may include an external control unit having an alarm for controlling operation of the lock.
