SENSING SYSTEM FOR VERIFYING DEADBOLT ENGAGEMENT
A door lock detection system is disclosed. The system includes a magnet flexibly attached to a strike plate. The strike plate includes an opening. The magnet extends across the opening of the strike plate in a first orientation when a bolt does not extend into the opening of the strike plate. The magnet is configured to be deflected from the first orientation to a second orientation, distinct from the first orientation, in response to the bolt being extended into the opening of the strike plate. The system includes a magnetometer configured to detect one or more magnetic fields of the magnet that is flexibly attached to the strike plate in the first orientation and in the second orientation.
SECURITY DEVICE WITH MULTIPLE CONTROL STATES
A security device is provided including a security lock configured to retain an object when locked, a receiver configured to receive a security code transmission, and processing circuitry configured to transition the security lock between a locked state and unlock permissive state based on receipt of a security code. The security lock may initially be set to the unlock permissive state. At the first instance in which a security code is received, the processing circuitry may transition the security lock to a key permissive mode in which the security lock transitions to a locked state and in response to a subsequent receipt of the security code the security lock transitions to the unlock permissive state.

Locking device with configurable electrical connector key and internal circuit board for electronic door locks
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.
Apparatus for detecting opening and closing of door
Provided is an apparatus for detecting opening and closing of a door. The apparatus includes a sensor unit, which is installed at a location close to a first member and detects an opening and closing of a door, a loading unit coupled to the sensor unit and a folded unit, folded and rotated based on a center of the folded unit when a back set distance from a side surface of the door to a center line of an indoor unit is small, and led in an installation groove of an indoor unit, and a case coupled to the loading unit when the back set distance from the side surface of the door to the center line of the indoor unit is larger, and separated from the loading unit when the back set distance from the side surface of the door to the center line of the indoor unit is small.
LOCKING DEVICE WITH CONFIGURABLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR KEY AND INTERNAL CIRCUIT BOARD FOR ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS
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.

Secure enclosure emergency access mechanism
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.
BREAKAWAY CATCH FOR SECURING AN ACCESS DOOR
A breakaway catch includes an anchor portion configured to secure to an inner surface of the enclosure, and a catch module configured to be removably affixed to the anchor portion. The breakaway portion is detachably coupled to the catch module and configured to interface with a latch member to secure the access door of the enclosure in a locked state, wherein the breakaway portion is configured to detach from the catch module responsive to engagement of an instrument with the breakaway portion and while the latch member is interfaced with the breakaway portion to secure the access door. When the breakaway portion is detached from the catch module, the latch member is released from securing the access door such as to place the access door in an unlocked state and provide access to the enclosure.
