A door lock system includes an escutcheon with a keyless cylinder handle. A locking block is disposed in the handle cylinder and spring biased to a locked position to prevent removal of the handle. The locking block may only be moved to an unlocked position by accessing a lock spindle extending through an opening on a rear side of the escutcheon mounted to the door.

An electronic door lock system includes a gasket system for protecting electrical and mechanical components from exterior water and air. A lock portion may include a gasket, a circuit board, and a plate disposed between a first and second housing. The gasket includes an L-shaped perimeter that wraps around a first side and perimeter edge of the circuit board. The plate compresses the gasket perimeter against a ridge on the first housing to form a seal around the circuit board.

A privacy lock assembly and method of operation are provided. The lock assembly has a push button offset from the central axis of the lock assembly for locking and unlocking the assembly. The lock assembly includes compression springs to maintain integrated handles in predetermined orientations when the handles are not subject to a load.

Release mechanism (10) for an electronic locking system (156), wherein the release mechanism (10) is configured such that an input member (14) and an output member (16) are locked against relative rotation and can rotate together within a locking ring opening (22) when a locking member (20) is located in an input member recess (42) and in an output member recess (46), and such that the output member (16) is released to rotate relative to the input member (14) when the locking member (20) is located in the output member recess (46) and in a locking ring recess (26). A freewheel mechanism (66) and assemblies (98) for an electronic locking system (156) are also provided.

A spring assembly for a handle set assembly includes a housing and a gear rotatably positioned within the housing. The gear has a default position and at least one actuated rotated position. The spring assembly includes at least one rack positioned within the housing. The at least one rack is movable in a rack displacement direction that is normal to the axis of rotation of the gear in response to rotation of the gear between a neutral position and a displaced position. The spring assembly includes a slider positioned at a first end of the at least one rack, the slider being slidable along the rack displacement direction. The spring assembly includes at least one spring captured between the housing and slider. The at least one spring is positioned to apply a spring force to the at least one rack toward the neutral position when the at least one rack is in the displaced position.

Release mechanism for an electronic locking system, wherein the release mechanism is configured such that an input member and an output member are locked against relative rotation and can rotate together within a locking ring opening when a locking member is located in an input member recess and in an output member recess, and such that the output member is released to rotate relative to the input member when the locking member is located in the output member recess and in a locking ring recess. A freewheel mechanism and assemblies for an electronic locking system are also provided.

An anti-ligature lock having a locking mechanism for retracting a latch between a locked and an unlocked position. The anti-ligature lock includes a lock handle rotatable about the axis and operatively connected to a lock mechanism hub to rotate the hub and retract the latch between the locked and the unlocked positions. The anti-ligature lock includes a connector between the hub and the lock handle and rotatable about the axis, the connector having a female portion having an opening with walls elongated in a direction normal to the axis and a male portion having projections extending in opposite directions normal to the axis, the male portion extending within the female portion opening and having a neutral position wherein one of the male or female portion may be partially rotated in either direction about the axis with respect to the other of the male or female portion without the male portion projections contacting the female portion opening walls.

A door lock system includes a toolless handing assembly that selectively sets a handle in a left or right home position. The handing assembly may cooperate with a disc and a spring that biases the disc to a default position. The disc may be rotated in a first direction to set the disc in a first home position. A catch may engage the disc to retain the disc in the first home position. The catch may be released to return the disc to the default position and the disc may be rotated in a second direction to set the disc in a second home position, opposite the first home position.

A door lock system that adjusts to doors of different thicknesses. The door lock system may include self-adjusting spindles that engage and center a lock body in a door. The spindles may exert equal and opposing forces that center the lock body within the door and align the lock body with a latch.
