Abstract
A locking system for locking a closure element, more particularly a door, having a main body, which rotatably receives an actuation element, for arrangement on one side of the closure element and having a locking module for arrangement on the opposite side of the closure element. The actuation element has an interface for connection to the locking module. The main body has a fixed interface for connection to the locking module; and depending on the type of locking module, same can only be connected to the co-rotating interface or to both interfaces. The disclosure also relates to a closure element having such a locking system, and a method for assembling a locking system.
Claims17
A locking system for locking a closure element having a main body, which accommodates an actuating element in a rotatable manner and is configured to be positioned on one side of the closure element, the locking system including a locking module, which is configured to be positioned on the opposite side of the closure element, wherein the actuating element has a rotatable interface for rotatable connection to the locking module, wherein the main body has a fixed interface for connection to the locking module, wherein the locking system is configured for use in a first mode and a second mode, wherein when the locking system is in the first mode the locking module is operatively connected to the rotatable interface such that at least part of the locking module is rotatable relative to the main body and the locking module is not operatively connected to the fixed interface, and when the locking system is in the second mode the locking module is operatively connected to both the rotatable interface and the fixed interface such that at least part of the locking module is rotatable relative to the main body, and at least part of the locking module is fixedly coupled to the main body.
A method for installing a locking system comprising:
- providing a locking system for locking a closure element having a main body, which accommodates an actuating element in a rotatable manner and is intended to be arranged on one side of the closure element, and a locking module, which is intended to be arranged on the opposite side of the closure element, wherein the actuating element has a rotatable interface for rotatable connection to the locking module, wherein the main body has a fixed interface for connection to the locking module and wherein the locking system is configured for use in a first mode and a second mode, wherein when the locking system is in the first mode the locking module is operatively connected to the rotatable interface such that at least part of the locking module is rotatable relative to the main body and the locking module is not operatively connected to the fixed interface, and when the locking system is in the second mode the locking module is operatively connected to both the rotatable interface and the fixed interface such that at least part of the locking module is rotatable relative to the main body, and at least part of the locking module is fixedly coupled to the main body;
- and
- coupling the locking system to the closure element.
