System and method for remote battery door button with two-phase activation

A button lock assembly for a remote control device, the system comprising:

• a holder bracket including one or more slots;
• a compression member mounted on the holder bracket;
• an outer lock button having a lower surface that rests upon the compression member, the outer lock button being depressible by compressing the compression member against the holder bracket, and wherein the outer lock button includes a hook latch that selectively secures to a fixed latch to secure a remote battery door to a remote body;
• and
• an inner lock button seated within the outer lock button, wherein the inner lock button is rotatable within the outer lock button, a lower surface of the inner lock button including one or more protrusions that protrude into one or more openings of the holder bracket when the inner lock button is depressed in an unlocked position but not when the inner lock button is depressed in a locked position,
• wherein depressing the inner lock button when in the unlocked position also enables depression of the outer lock button and unlatches the hook latch of the outer lock button from the fixed latch.

A method for providing a locking assembly of a remote control device, the method comprising:

• providing a remote body that includes a fixed latch and two longitudinal side walls, the two longitudinal side walls include guide tracks;
• providing a remote battery door that is slidably engaged onto the remote body, the remote battery door including guiderails on each longitudinal side of the remote battery door, wherein the guiderails of the remote battery door correspondingly engages with the guide tracks of the remote body, wherein a holder bracket with a compression member mounted thereon is operatively connected to the remote battery door, the holder bracket including one or more slots;
• securing a hook latch of an outer lock button to the fixed latch of the remote body to secure the remote battery door to the remote body, wherein the outer lock button is operatively associated with the remote battery door, the outer lock button including an inner circumference wall having a groove therein, and wherein a lower surface of the outer lock button rests upon the compression member;
• rotating an inner lock button seated within the outer lock button from a locked position into an unlocked position, the inner lock button including one or more tongues on at least a portion of an outer circumference wall of the inner lock button, wherein the one or more tongues of the inner lock button are rotatable within the groove of the outer lock button;
• depressing the inner lock button against the holder bracket via compression of the compression member with the inner lock button in the unlocked position, the inner lock button having a lower surface with one or more ribs that protrude into the one or more slots of the holder bracket when the inner lock button is depressed in the unlocked position;
• and
• unlatching the hook latch of the outer lock button from the fixed latch of the remote body, in response to the depressing of the inner lock button and the outer lock button, thereby releasing the remote battery door from the remote body.
