Abstract
A multi-point door lock unit is disclosed. In one preferred form the door lock is for use with a hinged or swinging door. The door lock unit has a latch, a deadbolt, and extension bolts extendable away from the door. The door lock may be used with a double door entry whereby one door is an active door having the lock unit and a second door is a passive door having a passive lock unit. Further, the door lock unit has an activation button that prevents extension of the deadbolt and the extension bolts unless the activation button is depressed.

A locking system, comprising:
- a base lock member moveable between a first position and a second position;
- a first input device;
- an activation device;
- and
- at least one secondary lock member having a first secondary lock position and a second secondary lock position,
- wherein the base lock member is moveable between a first position and a second position in response to actuation of the first input device, and the base lock member is prevented from moving from the first position to the second position when the activation device is not activated and the at least one secondary lock member is moveable between the first secondary lock position and the second secondary lock position in response to actuation of the first input device.
A locking system, comprising:
- a base lock member moveable between a first position and a second position;
- a first input device;
- an activation device;
- at least one secondary lock member having a first secondary lock position and a second secondary lock position;
- and
- a second input device,
- wherein the base lock member is moveable between a first position and a second position in response to actuation of the first input device, and the base lock member is prevented from moving from the first position to the second position when the activation device is not activated and the at least one secondary lock member is moveable between the first secondary lock position and the second secondary lock position in response to actuation of the second input device.
A locking system comprising:
- a base lock member moveable between an open position and a fully locked position;
- at least one secondary lock member moveable between an open position and a fully locked position;
- a first input device adapted to coact with at least one of the base lock member and the at least one secondary lock member,
- a second input device;
- and
- an activation device, the activation device preventing substantial movement of the at least one secondary lock member from the open position when the activation device is not activated,
- wherein the movement of the base lock member, to the fully locked position, is selectively and sequentially independent of the movement of the at least one secondary lock member to the fully locked position and the at least one secondary lock member is moveable between an open position and a fully locked position in response to actuation of the second input device and the activation device prevents substantial movement of the at least one secondary lock member from the open position when the activation device is not activated.
A door lock assembly for use in locking a door, the door lock assembly comprising:
- a housing configured to be inserted into an aperture in a door;
- a latch extendable from the housing;
- a first lock member extendable from the housing;
- a first input device mounted adjacent the housing, the first input device configured to affect movement of the first lock member;
- at least one second lock member moveable relative to the housing;
- a second input device mounted adjacent the housing and configured to selectively actuate one of the at least one second lock member, the latch, and the at least one second lock member and the latch;
- and
- an activation device that allows selective actuation of one of the first lock member independent of the at least one second lock member, and the at least one second lock member and the first lock member are actuatable independent of each other, when the activation device is activated.
A lock assembly for securing a door in a door frame, the door having a top edge, a bottom edge opposite the top edge, a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, the door being movably coupled to the frame, the lock assembly comprising:
- a housing configured to be inserted into a lock aperture in a door;
- a latch moveable in the housing, the latch configured to be located along the first edge of a door;
- a deadbolt moveable in the housing, the deadbolt configured to be located along the first side edge of a door;
- a thumbturn rotatably mounted adjacent the housing, the thumbturn configured to affect movement of the deadbolt;
- a first lock member moveable relative to the housing;
- a second lock member moveable relative to the housing;
- and
- an activation device that allows one of selective actuation of the deadbolt independent of the first and second lock members, the first and second lock members and the deadbolt being actuatable independent of each other, and the first and second lock members and the deadbolt being actuatable dependent with each other, when the activation device is activated.
A lock assembly for securing a door in a door frame, the door having a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, the door being movably coupled to the frame, the lock assembly comprising:
- a housing configured to be inserted into an aperture in a door;
- a latch moveable in the housing, the latch configured to be located along the first edge of a door;
- a deadbolt moveable in the
- housing, the deadbolt configured to be located along the first edge of a door;
- a first input device mounted adjacent the housing, the first input device configured to affect movement of the deadbolt;
- at least one lock member moveable within the housing;
- a second input device mounted adjacent the housing and configured to selectively actuate one of the at least one lock member, the latch, and the at least one lock member and the latch;
- and
- wherein the deadbolt and the at least one lock member may be selectively extended independently of one another.
A lock assembly for securing a door to a door frame, the door having a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, the door being movably coupled to the frame, the lock assembly comprising:
- a housing configured to be inserted into an aperture in a door;
- a latch moveable in the housing, the latch configured to be located along the first edge of a door;
- a deadbolt moveable in the housing,
- the deadbolt configured to be located along the first edge of a door;
- a first input device mounted adjacent the housing, the first input device configured to affect movement of the deadbolt;
- a second input device mounted adjacent the housing and configured to selectively actuate the latch;
- and
- an activation device, that allows actuation of the deadbolt when the activation device is activated;
- wherein substantial movement of the second input device is prevented when the deadbolt is substantially extended.
In a lock assembly for securing a door in a door frame, the door having a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, the door being movably coupled to the frame, the lock assembly comprising:
- a housing configured to be inserted into an aperture in a door;
- a latch moveable in the housing, the latch configured to be located along the first edge of a door;
- a deadbolt moveable in the housing, the deadbolt configured to be located along the first edge of a door;
- a thumbturn rotatably mounted adjacent the housing and coupled to the deadbolt, the thumbturn affecting movement of the deadbolt;
- at least one secondary lock member moveable relative to the housing;
- a drive rotatably mounted adjacent the housing and configured to selectively actuate the at least one secondary lock member and the latch;
- and
- the improvement comprising:
- an activation device that allows one of selective actuation of the deadbolt independent of the at least one secondary lock member, the at least one secondary lock member and the deadbolt being actuatable independent of each other, when the activation device is depressed.
