Cell locking system

Locking means comprising bolt support means, a bolt mounted in said bolt support means for axial reciprocation between a retracted unlocking position and an extended locking position, a pivot support, an actuator arm having one end mounted on said pivot support and having a remote portion engageable with said bolt for moving said bolt between its retracted and extended positions upon pivotal movement of said actuator arm, solenoid means connected to said actuator arm for moving said actuator arm to effect movement of said bolt to either its extended or retracted position, a deadlock latch positioned adjacent said bolt, biasing means urging said deadlock latch toward said bolt, first and second abutment surfaces on said bolt, first and second abutment surfaces on said deadlock latch, said first abutment surface of said deadlock latch engaging said first abutment surface of said bolt for preventing movement of said bolt from its extended position, said second abutment surface of said deadlock latch engaging said second abutment surface of said bolt when said bolt is in its retracted position for preventing movement of said bolt toward its extended position and camming means on said actuator arm engageable with a cam surface on said deadlock latch for initially moving said deadlock latch to its retracted position upon actuation of said solenoid means to permit said actuator arm to subsequently move said bolt from one of its positions to the other of its positions.

A door control system including:

• a door frame;
• a door mounted in said door frame;
• a dead bolt mounted in said door frame for movement between an extended door locking position in which one end of the dead bolt extends into a mating opening in the door and a retracted door unlocking position;
• a lock bolt mounted in the door frame for movement between an extended door locking position in which the lock bolt extends into a mating opening in the door and a retracted door unlocking position;
• a control station spaced from said door frame;
• control effecting connection means extending between said control station and said door frame;
• selectively operable dead bolt actuator means in said door frame for actuating said dead bolt to effect movement of said dead bolt to either its extended position or its retracted position;
• selectively operable lock bolt positioning means mounted in said door frame unit for drivingly moving said lock bolt to its retracted position;
• first actuator means at said control station for actuating said selectively operable lock bolt positioning means;
• second actuator means in the vicinity of said door for actuating of said selectively operable lock bolt positioning means;
• a manually operable lever member mounted in said control station for selective movement to a first position, a second position and a third position;
• a movable bolt release and control member mounted in said door frame for movement to first, second and third positions;
• said latch control effecting connection means including cable means extending between said bolt release and control member and said manually operable lever member for positioning said bolt release and control member in its first, second or third positions in response to the positioning of said manually operable lever member respectively in its first, second or third positions;
• dead bolt release means engageable with means on said bolt release and control member for moving said dead bolt to its retracted position in response to movement of said bolt release and control member to its third position;
• lock bolt release means responsive to movement of said bolt release and control member to its third position for moving said lock bolt to its retracted position;
• lock bolt biasing means for urging said lock bolt toward its extended latching position;
• and
• lock bolt drive override means responsive to the positioning of said dead bolt in its extended door latching position for preventing operation of said lock bolt positioning means.

A door locking and control system including:

• a door movable between open and closed positions;
• a dead bolt movable between a locking position and an unlocking position with respect to said door;
• selectively operable electrical dead bolt drive means for effecting positioning said dead bolt in either its locking or unlocking position;
• a lock bolt movable between locking and unlocking positions with respect to said door;
• a control station at a location remote from said door including:
• p1 a control member movable to a deadlock position, an operate position and a release position;
• and
• selectively operable electrical actuator means for actuating said dead bolt drive means for effecting the positioning of said dead bolt in either its locking or unlocking position;
• means permitting the movement of the lock bolt to its unlocking position by actuator means at the door in response to the positioning of said control member in its operate position concurrently with the positioning of said dead bolt in its unlocking position;
• and
• mechanical means for mechanically moving said lock bolt and said dead bolt to their unlocking positions in response to the movement of said control member to its release position.
