Wireless magnetic lock control system

A two-point locking system for providing controlled access through a door comprising:

• a first lock assembly coupled to, and capable of selectively securing and releasing, said door;
• a second lock assembly coupled to, and capable of selectively securing and releasing, said door;
• an input control device coupled to said first lock assembly for entering data indicative of whether said door should be secured or released;
• processing means coupled to said input control device for converting said data to a first signal for selectively securing and releasing said first lock assembly and a second signal for selectively securing and releasing said second lock assembly;
• a first wireless transmitter coupled to said first lock assembly for transmitting said second signal;
• and
• a first wireless receiver coupled to said second lock assembly for receiving said second signal.

A method for controlling the operation of a two-point locking system comprising a first lock assembly and a second lock assembly for providing controlled access through a door comprising the steps of:

• inputting data to a first input control device associated with said first lock assembly, said data being indicative of whether said door should be secured or released;
• converting said data to a first signal for selectively securing and releasing said first lock assembly and a second signal for selectively securing and releasing said second lock assembly;
• transmitting said second signal from said first lock assembly to said second lock assembly by means of an electromagnetic signal;
• and
• receiving said electromagnetic signal at said second lock assembly.
