    摘要: A lockset with a sliding spindle assembly allows ingress using a key on the outside or a button on the inside. The sliding spindle assembly provides first and second sliding mechanisms operated from the outside and inside, respectively, that operate a clutch to couple the outside handle to the main spindle. Each sliding mechanism comprises a key cylinder or twist and/or push button lock that rotates a cam to linearly advance (slide) a cam follower that incorporates a spindle receiver. The first sliding mechanism slides its spindle receiver between clutching and non-clutching positions with respect to the main spindle. The second sliding mechanism slides the main spindle itself between clutching and non-clutching positions with respect to the first sliding mechanism's spindle receiver. The sliding spindle assembly can be incorporated into a legacy lockset and also be used in a double-latch lockset.

    摘要: A latchset comprises a latch cam hub configured to rotate on a door handle tailpiece, a first and optionally also a second projection extending radially outward from the hub, a sliding actuator comprising an elongated body and a first tooth, and a spring that resists retraction of the sliding actuator and urges the first projection against the first tooth. The latch cam is operative to retract the sliding actuator when a coupled door handle is rotated in only one rotational direction, such that rotation of the coupled door handle in the opposite rotational direction is inoperative to retract the sliding actuator. The hub is configured to be rotated by 90° during installation to set the latch cam to operate in an oppositely handed door. The latch cam prevents lost motion in eight door configurations.

    摘要: A locking system for a stop button employed in a mortise lock having a spindle for operating a latch utilizing a first spindle base and a second spindle base which are nested relative to one another. Each base includes an opening for the mortise lock spindle such that the spindle may enter the combined first and second bases from the left side or the right side. A locking hub overrides either the first or second base and is capable of selectively lying over either the first or second base. An abutment linked to the stop button interacts with the locking hub such that either the first or second base may not be turned by the spindle when this occurs. Locking hub selectively locks either the first or second base through its position relative to the same and allows the mortise lock to easily transform from a left-hand version to a right-hand version.

    摘要: A mortise lockset for a sliding door or double door includes adaptations to make it more resistant to blunt-force attacks. The lockset includes retractable locking hooks, tabs or catches that extend above and below a bolt to securely lock the door. The mechanism, which uses no springs to bias the catches, cams the catches to varying positions as the bolt travels between its retracted and projected positions. Pivotally mounted levers incorporating or carrying the catches include a contoured edge that cams upon cam posts to drive the catches between withdrawn and lockingly engaged positions into or from the bolt. The lockset also includes a channel shaped to cause the thumbturn tail to obstruct retraction caused by blunt forces exerted on the door or doorframe itself, proximate to the bolt.

    摘要: A lock trim assembly incorporates an escapement assembly comprising a control member and an escapement spring. The escapement assembly is movable between a locking position that blocks rotation of the spindle and an unlocking position that does not block rotation of the spindle. A coupling assembly that couples the handle to the spindle rotates between a default orientation and a blocking orientation. The default orientation allows the escapement assembly to move into the locking position. The blocking orientation blocks the escapement assembly from moving into the locking position. When the coupling assembly is in the blocking orientation, operation of the motor to drive the blocked escapement assembly into the locking position causes the escapement assembly to store energy in the escapement spring for forcing the escapement assembly into the locking position once the coupling assembly is reoriented back to the default orientation.

    摘要: A retractor assembly for a cylindrical lockset comprises inner and outer retractors. Each of the retractors has a cam engaging surface to convert rotary motion from the inside door handle into linear latch-retracting motion. Inner and outer spindles having retractor activation cams are configured to bear upon cam surfaces of the inner and outer retractors to retract the latch. When the inner door handle is operated, the inner retractor acts directly upon the tailpiece of the latch bolt assembly to retract the latch. When the outer door handle is operated, the outer retractor presses on the inner retractor, causing it to retract the latch. If there is an attack, a blocker assembly engages with members formed in the outer retractor to render the outer retractor inoperative to move into a latch-retracting position without interfering with operation of the inner retractor to move into a latch-retracting position.

    摘要: Mechanisms are provided to thwart an overtorquing attack on a cylindrical lockset. The cylindrical lockset comprises a lock cage, a split retractor assembly, and a torque-attack-activated spring-loaded blocker assembly coupled to the lock cage. The blocker assembly is set to a default non-blocking configuration. An overtorquing attack triggers the blocking assembly into a blocking setting. When in the blocking setting, the blocking assembly blocks movement of at least an outside door portion of a retractor assembly from translating into a latch-retracting position, but does not block the inside door handle from retracting the latch. A new split retractor assembly is also provided.

    摘要: An integrated lock management and smart device control system comprises lock controllers configured to authenticate lock management system (LMS) credentials and also act as a hub for a collection of smart devices. The system also comprises a guest app that can receive and store an LMS credential or a functional derivative thereof and use the credential to unlock an entrance. The guest app also provides smart device controls. When these are selected, the guest app issues a command to the lock controller or an Internet gateway, backed by the LMS credential. After authenticating the LMS credential, the lock controller or gateway transmits a command to the smart device that is backed by a configurable smart device credential. Guest control of the smart devices is terminated by disabling the LMS credential.

    摘要: A lockset enables motion of an outside door handle in one direction to retract a latchbolt and motion of the outside door handle in an opposite direction to lock the deadbolt, and optionally also the latchbolt. The lockset then requires a key, code, or other credential to re-enter, unless another opens or unlocks the door from the inside. The ability to deadbolt the door from the outside makes it faster to secure a building or enclosure after exiting it.
