A door lock system for use on a pivotally mounted door, the door lock system including:
- an external digital access control assembly, including a digital access control component and a handle;
- and
- a mechanical mortice, mechanically coupled to the external digital access control assembly;
- wherein the digital access control component is configured to selectively provide access control by mechanically coupling and decoupling the handle to the mechanical mortice.
An external digital access control assembly for use on a pivotally mounted door, the external digital access control assembly including:
- a digital access control component;
- and
- a handle;
- wherein the digital access control component is configured to selectively provide access control by mechanically coupling and decoupling the handle to a mortice.
An inner door handle assembly for use on a pivotally mounted door, the inner door handle assembly comprising a handle member including a manually activated engagement mechanism, wherein the manually activated engagement mechanism engages with a spindle of the door when the manually activated engagement mechanism is activated, and does not engage with the spindle of the door when the manually activated engagement mechanism is not activated, such that rotation of the handle causes rotation of the spindle when the manually activated engagement mechanism is activated and rotation of the handle is independent of the spindle when the manually activated engagement mechanism is not activated.
