Abstract
An improved security system to prevent unwanted entrance through a hinged barrier, such as, but not limited to a door, is provided and comprises a member associated with the barrier, whether internal or external to the barrier, and adapted to extend from a first length to a second length. An actuation mechanism is coupled to the member and is adapted to extend the member from the first length to the second length and to contract the member from the second length to the first length. A receptacle is provided adjacent the barrier for receiving a portion of the member when the member is extended by the actuating mechanism.

A security system for a barrier separating an interior space from an exterior space, the system comprising:
- a first lock assembly having a portion located on the exterior space side of the barrier and comprising
- a deadbolt;
- and
- a first actuation mechanism configured to move the deadbolt along a path from a first position to a second locking position;
- a second lock assembly located on the interior space side of the barrier and comprising
- a member moveable from a first position to a second locking position along a path substantially parallel to the path traveled by the deadbolt;
- a second actuation mechanism operable from the interior space and configured to move the member from the first position to the second locking position and configured so that actuation of the first lock assembly from the exterior space extends the member from the first position to the second locking position;
- a receptacle having a first portion for receiving the deadbolt in the locked position to thereby lock the barrier, and the receptacle having a second portion for receiving the member in the locked position, to thereby lock the barrier when the deadbolt and member are engaged with their respective portions of the receptacle;
- and
- an override mechanism operable only from the interior space and having an engaged and a disengaged condition, the engaged condition configured to prevent the member from being disengaged from the receptacle thereby preventing the barrier from being opened when the override mechanism is engaged.
A security system for a barrier separating an interior space from an exterior space, the system comprising:
- a first lock assembly having a portion located on the exterior space side of the barrier and comprising
- a deadbolt ;
- and
- a first mechanism configured to receive a key and to move the deadbolt along a path from a first position to a second locking position;
- a second lock assembly located on the interior space side of the barrier and comprising
- a member moveable from a first position to a second locking position along a path substantially parallel to the path traveled by the deadbolt;
- and
- a second mechanism having a handle and operable from the interior space and configured to move the member from the first position to the second locking position and configured so that actuation of the first lock assembly from the exterior space moves the member from the first position to the second locking position;
- a cover configured to house at least a portion of the second lock assembly;
- a receptacle having a first portion for receiving the deadbolt in the locked position to thereby lock the barrier, and the receptacle having a second portion for receiving the member in the locked position, to thereby lock the barrier when the deadbolt and member are engaged with their respective portions of the receptacle;
- and
- an override mechanism associated with the second lock assembly and operable only from the interior space, and comprising a pin and a hole in the member, and having an engaged position when at least a portion of the pin engages the hole in the member, the engaged position configured to prevent the member from being moved from engagement with the receptacle thereby preventing the barrier from being opened when the override mechanism is engaged.
