Abstract
A multipoint lock is described. The multipoint lock includes a main latch. The main latch has a latched position where the main latch is configured to extend a first distance from an unhinged edge of a door panel. The main latch is configured to be retractable toward the unhinged edge of the door panel by rotation of a latch drive hub in each of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction relative to a first side of the door panel. The multipoint lock also includes at least one auxiliary latch and a deadbolt drive hub. Rotation of the deadbolt drive hub substantially simultaneously actuates the main latch and the at least one auxiliary latch.
Claims19
A powered lock assembly comprising:
- a main latch having a latched position in which the main latch is configured to extend a first distance from an unhinged edge of a door panel, a retracted position in which the main latch is retracted within the unhinged edge of the door panel;
- a deadbolt drive hub rotatable to transition the powered lock assembly between an operating configuration in which the main latch is translatable between the latched position and the retracted position and a deadbolt configuration in which the main latch is prevented from retracting to the retracted position;
- a powered actuator operably coupled to the deadbolt drive hub, the powered actuator configured to rotate the deadbolt drive hub such that the powered lock assembly is transitioned between the operating configuration and the deadbolt configuration, wherein the powered actuator has a first position, a second position, and a third position, the second position disposed between the first and third positions, the powered actuator rotating the deadbolt drive hub such that the powered lock assembly transitions to the operating configuration as the powered actuator moves from the second position towards the first position and the powered lock assembly transitions to the deadbolt configuration as the powered actuator moves from the second position towards the third position.
A powered lock assembly comprising:
- a main latch having a latched position in which the main latch is configured to extend a first distance from an unhinged edge of a door panel, a retracted position in which the main latch is retracted within the unhinged edge of the door panel;
- a deadbolt drive hub rotatable to transition the powered lock assembly between an operating configuration in which the main latch is translatable between the latched position and the retracted position and a deadbolt configuration in which the main latch is prevented from retracting to the retracted position;
- a powered actuator operably coupled to the deadbolt drive hub, the powered actuator configured to rotate the deadbolt drive hub such that the powered lock assembly is transitioned between the operating configuration and the deadbolt configuration, wherein the main latch has a deadbolt position in which the main latch is configured to extend a second distance from the unhinged edge of the door panel, the second distance being greater than the first distance, the main latch in the deadbolt position when the powered lock assembly is in the deadbolt configuration.
A powered lock assembly comprising:
- a main latch having a latched position in which the main latch is configured to extend a first distance from an unhinged edge of a door panel, a retracted position in which the main latch is retracted within the unhinged edge of the door panel;
- a deadbolt drive hub rotatable to transition the powered lock assembly between an operating configuration in which the main latch is translatable between the latched position and the retracted position and a deadbolt configuration in which the main latch is prevented from retracting to the retracted position;
- a powered actuator operably coupled to the deadbolt drive hub, the powered actuator configured to rotate the deadbolt drive hub such that the powered lock assembly is transitioned between the operating configuration and the deadbolt configuration, further comprising a latch drive hub operably coupled to the main latch such that the latch drive hub is configured retract the main latch to the retracted position in response to rotation of the latch drive hub in a clockwise and a counterclockwise direction relative to a first side of the door panel.
