Abstract
A mounting system for a door lock is provided. The mounting system may include a chassis having a pocket and an attachment bracket. The attachment bracket may include at least one attachment post extending parallel to an attachment post axis and a retaining plate affixed to the at least one attachment post. The attachment bracket may move relative to the chassis between at least a first position and a second position to provide different mounting patterns for a variety of associated door lock components such as exit devices or trims.
Claims13
A mounting system for a door lock, the mounting system comprising:
- a chassis comprising a pocket;
- and
- a sliding attachment bracket comprising:
- at least one attachment post extending parallel to an attachment post axis;
- and
- a retaining plate affixed to the at least one attachment post,
- wherein the pocket is configured to receive the retaining plate, wherein the pocket is configured to allow the retaining plate to slide orthogonal to the attachment post axis,
- wherein the pocket is further configured to inhibit rotation of the retaining plate about the attachment post axis, and wherein the sliding attachment bracket comprises a first hole and a second hole each configured to receive a fastener,
- the chassis comprises a third hole and a fourth hole,
- when the sliding attachment bracket is in a first position in the pocket the first hole aligns with the third hole to allow the fastener to be received through the third hole into the first hole, and
- when the sliding attachment bracket is in a second position the second hole aligns with the fourth hole to allow the fastener to be received through the fourth hole into the second hole, and the first hole is not aligned with the third hole when the second hole is aligned with the fourth hole.
A mounting system for a door lock, the mounting system comprising:
- a chassis;
- a fastener, and
- an attachment bracket configured to move between a first position and a second position relative to the chassis, wherein the attachment bracket comprises:
- at least one attachment post extending along an attachment post axis,
- a retaining plate affixed to the at least one attachment post,
- a first hole, and
- a second hole,
- wherein the chassis further comprises at least one aperture through which the at least one attachment post passes, wherein the chassis further comprises a third hole and a fourth hole, wherein when the attachment bracket is in the first position the first hole aligns with the third hole to allow the fastener to be received through the third hole into the first hole, and wherein when the attachment bracket is in the second position the second hole aligns with the fourth hole to allow the fastener to be received through the fourth hole into the second hole.
