A multipoint mortise lock mechanism for a swinging door, including a central cassette assembly operably coupled to an upper remote locking point assembly and a lower remote locking point assembly by a remote locking linkage. The central cassette assembly includes a housing, a deadbolt mechanism, a latchbolt mechanism, a remote locking point mechanism and an anti-slam mechanism. The anti-slam mechanism includes an anti-slam plunger that when in an extended position engages the remote locking linkage via a boss and a slot and thereby inhibits movement of the remote locking linkage whereby deployment of the remote locking point assemblies is prevented. The deadbolt mechanism includes a deadbolt extendible from the central cassette that is independently operable from the remote locking point mechanism. The deadbolt mechanism further includes an anti-back drive mechanism.

An electronic door lock device and an electronic door lock provides electronic components on a strike plate side of a door frame rather than inside the actual door, which is a limitation to conventional electronic door lock devices. The unique design provides for flexibility in using standard doorknobs that otherwise could not be used in an electronic door lock. Electrical wiring connection need not involve the door itself for allowing flexibility in use of any door and for avoiding any disconnection of electrical wiring due to door movement when the door is opened and closed. An electromagnetic expansion block moves an auxiliary latch that locks a cam for preventing the doorknob from rotating when locked. The cam is in contact with a link strip that engages a locking tongue to lock the door. Alternatively, a blocking block moved by an electromagnetic module may be used to lock the cam.

A center slide assembly for a multi-point exit device. Upper and lower spool assemblies may be displaced from first positions to second positions along an inner region of a center slide. The displacement of the spool assemblies may displace upper and lower pull cables so as to retract latch mechanisms from extended positions to retracted positions. A first latching pin may be displaced, along with the displacement of the upper spool assembly, along an abutment surface of a tilting link so as to pivotally displace the tilting link from an unlocked position to a locked position. Displacement of the lower spool assembly may displace a second latching pin to a position wherein the second latching pin may be received and retained within a jog of the tilting link when the tilting link is in the locked position, which may thereby retain the associated latch mechanism in the retracted position.
