Multipoint locking door hardware

A lock system comprising an active panel center gearbox and a passive panel center gearbox:

• the active panel center gearbox comprising:
• a deadbolt having a pin;
• a deadbolt drive being rotatable to extend or retract the deadbolt;
• a vertically translatable upper drive assembly;
• a vertically translatable lower drive assembly;
• a latch bolt;
• a handle assembly being rotatable to retract the latch bolt and to extend or retract the lower and the upper drive assemblies;
• a reverse action rocker having a shaft, the reverse action rocker coupling the lower drive assembly to the upper drive assembly so they translate in different directions;
• a mishandling bolt having a pin;
• a vertically translatable mishandling plate, defining:
• a first slot receiving the pin of the mishandling bolt, the first slot comprising an inclined portion and a horizontal portion;
• a second slot receiving the pin of the deadbolt, the second slot comprising a vertical portion and a horizontal portion;
• a vertical guide receiving the shaft of the reverse action rocker;
• and
• a tab;
• wherein, when the mishandling bolt is extended from the active panel center gearbox and the mishandling plate is lowered:
• the pin of the mishandling bolt is in the inclined portion of the first slot of the mishandling plate;
• the vertical portion of the second slot of the mishandling plate engages the pin of the deadbolt to prevent the deadbolt from extending;
• the tab of the mishandling plate engages the handle assembly to prevent the handle assembly from rotating to lower the lower drive assembly;
• and
• the vertical guide of the mishandling plate engages the shaft of the reverse action rocker to prevent the reverse action rocker from rotating to raise the upper drive assembly;
• the passive panel center gearbox being installed at a same height as the active panel center gear box, the passive panel center gearbox comprising:
• a vertically translatable upper drive rack;
• a vertically translatable lower drive rack;
• a pinion gear between the upper and the lower drive racks to translate the upper and the lower drive racks in different directions;
• a passive panel handle assembly rotatable to lower or raise the upper and the lower drive racks;
• and
• a drive head coupled to the upper drive rack, the drive head comprises a mishandling bolt blocker;
• and
• wherein, when passive panel handle assembly rotates in one direction:
• the upper drive rack rises so the mishandling bolt blocker is raised to a same height as the mishandling bolt of the active panel center gearbox to prevent the mishandling bolt from extending when panels having the active and the passive panel center gearboxes are closed;
• and
• the lower drive rack lowers.
