Door locking system

A door locking system for integrating into an entry door having a hardware therein and a door sill, the door locking system comprising:

• a mounting plate including a front surface, a rear surface, an upper edge, a lower edge, and two side edges, the rear surface of the mounting plate configured to be mounted to the entry door proximate an intersection of a lock stile and a bottom rail;
• an upper retention member coupled to the front surface of the mounting plate, the upper retention member including upper and lower planar parallel plates, the upper and lower planar parallel plates configured to releasably retain a handle of a continuous cane rod therebetween;
• a lower retention member coupled to the front surface of the mounting plate, the lower retention member including upper and lower planar parallel plates, the upper and lower planar parallel plates configured to releasably retain the handle of the continuous cane rod therebetween;
• a plurality of guide members including first, second, third, and fourth guide members coupled to the front surface of the mounting plate by welding, the first, second, third, and fourth guide members being vertically aligned, each of the first, second, third, and fourth guide members being an eyebolt;
• the upper retention member being superposed to the lower retention member and the first, second, third, and fourth guide members, the upper retention member being laterally offset from the plurality of guide members, the upper retention member being co-planar with the plurality of guide members in a plane parallel to the mounting plate;
• the lower retention member being superposed to the first, second, third, and fourth guide members, the lower retention member being laterally offset from the plurality of guide members, the lower retention member being co-planar with the plurality of guide members in the plane parallel to the mounting plate;
• a receiving member configured to be mounted in the door sill, the receiving member being vertically aligned with the plurality of guide members;
• the continuous cane rod having the handle coupled to a shaft having a heel, the handle having a horizontal axis and the shaft having a vertical axis;
• a spring washer mounted on the continuous cane rod subjacent to the second guide member, the spring washer being a plastic material;
• a spring mounted on the continuous cane rod and interposed between the third guide member and the spring washer, the spring urging the continuous cane rod axially and vertically toward the upper retention member until the spring urges the spring washer into contact with the second guide member, the spring washer dampening the contact therebetween;
• in an open configuration, the handle of the continuous cane rod being releasably retained by the upper retention member between the upper and lower parallel planar plates thereof, with the shaft slidably extending axially through the first, second, third, and fourth guide members with the heel of the continuous cane rod spatially separated from the receiving member, in the open configuration, the handle of the continuous cane rod being spring biased against the upper retention member;
• in a locked configuration, the handle of the continuous cane rod being releasably retained by the lower retention member between the upper and lower parallel planar plates thereof, with the shaft slidably extending axially through the plurality of guide members with the heel of the continuous cane rod penetrating the receiving member, in the locked configuration, the handle of the continuous cane rod being spring biased against the lower retention member;
• the continuous cane rod transitioning from the open configuration to the locked configuration by initial radial displacement of the handle of the continuous cane rod away from the upper retention member, vertical displacement of the shaft such that the heel penetrates the receiving member, and radial displacement of the handle of the continuous cane rod to the lower retention member such that the handle is releasably retained by the lower retention member;
• and
• the continuous cane rod transitioning from the locked configuration to the open configuration by initial radial displacement of the handle of the continuous cane rod away from the lower retention member, vertical displacement of the shaft such that the heel retreats from the receiving member with a spatial separation therebetween, and radial displacement of the handle of the continuous cane rod toward the upper retention member such that the handle is releasably retained by the upper retention member.
