A lock indicator and a mechanical lock assembly, comprising:
- a switch;
- a power source;
- a transmitter coupled to the power source;
- and
- a bolt member moveable between a retracted position and an extended position with respect to a housing of the assembly, wherein the switch is positioned with respect to the bolt member such that the switch is actuatable by the bolt member to determine the position of the bolt member, and the transmitter is configured to transmit a signal indicative of the position of the bolt member to a remote device,
- wherein the bolt member is located in a main body of the housing of the assembly and the power source is located in an auxiliary housing remote from the main body of the housing,
- wherein the housing includes a faceplate member and the power source is accessible through an aperture defined by the faceplate member, and
- wherein, when the bolt member is in the extended position, a portion of the bolt member extends beyond the confines of the main body of the housing through an aperture defined by the faceplate member, and
- wherein the main body and the auxiliary housing extend away from the faceplate member in generally the same direction.
