According to some aspects, a status indicator assembly for a lock assembly is disclosed, the status indicator assembly is configured to indicate the locking status of the lock and change with the lock. In some embodiments, indicator assembly includes an indicator configured to fit in an escutcheon attached to the lock assembly. In some embodiments, the indicator is coupled to a coupling arm. In some embodiments, the coupling arm is further coupled to a lock tailpiece in the lock assembly in such a way that as the lock tailpiece rotates due to actuation of the lock, the coupling arm rotates the indicator. In some embodiments, the coupling arm is configured to interlock with the indicator via a slot to reduce unnecessary motion of the indicator.
A status indicator assembly configured to operatively couple to a lock assembly, the lock assembly comprising a lock actuator, a lock housing disposed around the lock actuator, and a lock tailpiece extending from the lock actuator along a lock axis and configured to rotate about the lock axis between a tailpiece first position and a tailpiece second position, the status indicator assembly comprising:
A method for providing an indicator system to a lock assembly, the lock assembly comprising a lock actuator, a lock housing disposed around the lock actuator, and a lock tailpiece extending from the lock actuator along a lock axis and configured to rotate about the lock axis between a tailpiece first position and a tailpiece second position of the lock assembly, the method comprising,
