Methods of operating a lock
A method of controlling a lock mechanism of an active door includes transiting an access controller of the lock mechanism to an authorized access mode and transitioning the access controller from the authorized access mode to an entry mode. Transitioning the access controller to the authorized access mode is in response to an authorized user being sensed approaching the active door from an exterior side of the active door or in response to input on a remote device. In the authorized access mode, an exterior handle of the active door is decoupled from a main latch of the lock mechanism. Transitioning the access controller to the entry mode is in response to sensed contact with the exterior handle. In the entry mode, the exterior handle is capable of rotating to transition the access controller to an unlocked mode in which the exterior handle is operably coupled to the main latch.
PRE-MOUNTED LOCK FOR A DOOR OF A LOW VOLTAGE ENCLOSURE
Described herein is a pre-mounted lock assembly for a door of a low and medium voltage electrical cabinet including a containment profile that develops along a main direction defining a seat. A mechanism is arranged in said seat. Said mechanism includes at least a rod and at least one guide element for said rod. Said guide element is rigidly connected to said profile. The pre-mounted lock assembly also includes fixing means for fixing it to said door following the connection of said at least one guide element to said profile, wherein said fixing means are arranged on said profile and/or on said at least one guide element.
Steel Frame Door Locking Assembly
A frame door locking assembly suited for reinforcing doors with additional security measures is presented. The frame door locking assembly comprises a mounting frame, at least one track assembly, at least one latch assembly, at least one actuator, and a processing unit. The at least one track assembly traverses along the mounting frame. The at least one latch assembly is distributed about the mounting frame. The at least one latch assembly is hingedly connected to the at least one track assembly. The at least one actuator is connected adjacent to the mounting frame. The at least one actuator is operatively engaged to the at least one track assembly, where the at least one actuator is configured to move the at least one track assembly in a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. The processing unit is electronically connected to the at least one actuator.
Surface vertical rod exit device
A door exit device may include an actuator, an upper latch, and a lower latch. The actuator may be operatively coupled to the upper latch by a first drive and to the lower latch by a second drive. Each drive may include a housing which is mountable to the exterior of a door panel and a drive rod slidably supported within the housing. The housing may include a base which is mountable to the door panel and a cover attachable to the base with the drive rod located between the base and the cover. The housing may be configured to extend from the actuator to the latch to conceal the entire length of the rod between the actuator and the latch.
Flush glass apparatus
A flush glass apparatus includes an operation glass comprising a glass portion and a frame and configured to open and close an opening of a fixed glass by sliding in a lateral direction, and a locking device configured to lock and unlock the operation glass, wherein the locking device comprises an operation handle installed on the frame, an upper locking lever installed on an upper side of the frame, a first lower locking lever installed on a lower side of the frame, a second lower locking lever installed on the lower side of the frame, an upper operation member installed on the upper side of the frame and connected to the operation handle, and a lower operation member installed on the lower side of the frame and connected to the operation handle.
Retrofit latch adapter
A retrofit latch adapter is configured to replace a pre-existing roller head latch assembly of a pre-existing exit device. The retrofit latch adapter may include a flat latch head that may provide additional security for a door compared with the pre-existing roller head pre-existing latch assembly. A method of installing such a retrofit latch adapter in a preexisting exist device may include rotationally releasing a pre-existing latch assembly having a roller latch head from the pre-existing exit device; rotating the pre-existing latch assembly to linearly decouple the pre-existing latch assembly from a transmission of the pre-existing exit device; removing the pre-existing latch assembly from the pre-existing exit device; rotating the retrofit latch adapter to linearly couple the retrofit latch adapter to the transmission of the pre-existing exit device; inserting the retrofit latch adapter at least partially into a housing of the pre-existing exit device; aligning the flat latch head with an uppermost portion of the housing of the pre-existing exit device; and rotationally securing the retrofit latch adapter to the pre-existing exit device.

Transitioning the access controller to the authorized access mode is in response to an authorized user being sensed approaching the active door from an exterior side of the active door or in response to input on a remote device. In the authorized access mode, an exterior handle of the active door is decoupled from a main latch of the lock mechanism. Transitioning the access controller to the entry mode is in response to sensed contact with the exterior handle. In the entry mode, the exterior handle is capable of rotating to transition the access controller to an unlocked mode in which the exterior handle is operably coupled to the main latch.
LOCK SYSTEM FOR DOOR
In one or more embodiment, a lock system for a door is presented. The system includes an interior assembly, an exterior assembly, fasteners, and end brackets. The interior assembly is configured for attachment to an interior side of the door and the exterior assembly is configured for attachment to an exterior side of the door with fasteners connecting the exterior assembly to the interior assembly. The interior assembly includes a mechanical assembly configured to extend the first and second locking bolts outward from the ends of the interior assembly in opposing directions to a locked position in response to a center member being moved from the first position to the second position. The mechanical assembly is configured to retract the first and second locking bolts inward into the interior assembly to an unlocked position in response to the center member being moved from the second position to the first position.
Flush Glass Apparatus
A flush glass apparatus includes an operation glass comprising a glass portion and a frame and configured to open and close an opening of a fixed glass by sliding in a lateral direction, and a locking device configured to lock and unlock the operation glass, wherein the locking device comprises an operation handle installed on the frame, an upper locking lever installed on an upper side of the frame, a first lower locking lever installed on a lower side of the frame, a second lower locking lever installed on the lower side of the frame, an upper operation member installed on the upper side of the frame and connected to the operation handle, and a lower operation member installed on the lower side of the frame and connected to the operation handle.
