Electric lock device
The present application provides an electric lock device, adopting a clutch mechanism composed of a driven gear and a turntable. The first side of the driven gear is provided with a mounting position for the turntable to be embedded, the sidewall of the mounting position is provided with an arc-shaped recess, and the outer sidewall of the turntable is provided with an arc-shaped bump corresponding to the arc-shaped recess. The central angle corresponding to the arc-shaped recess is denoted as α, and the central angle corresponding to the arc-shaped bump is denoted as β, then α and β satisfy: α−β≥180°. Based on the above structure, there is a rotation virtual position greater than or equal to 180° between the driven gear and the turntable, that is, the gear can be rotated at least 180° regardless of the angle to which the gear rotates the turntable.
Exit device systems and methods
An exit device according to one embodiment includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic dogging mechanism. The exit device is configured to locally analyze sensor data to determine the security state of the exit device, report data to a management system via a wireless communication channel established between the exit device and the management system, and receive and process instructions to perform an electronic dogging operation.
Key override for electromechanical multi-point latching device
A multi-point latching device may include a mortise lock and one or more remote latches which are operable with a handle. The mortise lock may include a handle lock which selectively locks and unlocks the handle is independently controllable by an actuator and by a lock cylinder. The lock cylinder may be used to unlock the handle during power failure events where the mortise lock is put into a fail secure state, such that the mortise lock maintains normal functionality as a manual device.
