Abstract

Skiles Locking System enables automatic actuation of multiple deadbolt type locks instantly through use of remote wireless activator, key, or lock button. (inside of dwelling) This is accomplished through a mechanized assembly completely contained inside door. Attached to door knob shaft located in the center of the door, a rotating disc and wire assembly retracts internal spring loaded deadbolts from bolt sleeves in door frame allowing ingress or egress. When the door shuts, beveled internal spring-loaded bolts move back into door frame, allowing locking of door with multiple deadbolt type locks with remote wireless activator, key, or lock button (inside). No manual sliding of deadbolts needed. The system also incorporates brass weak-link locking pins, which attach steel connecting wires to rotating disc. These weak-links break upon abnormal pressure when door knob mechanism is compromised by force, permanently locking door in place. The system allows for keyed or electronic keyless entry.
