Interconnected lock with lock status sensor

An interconnected lock assembly mounted in a door, comprising:

• a first lock assembly and a second lock assembly, both operably interconnected by a rack mounted on a carrier component, wherein said second lock assembly is operably connected to a deadbolt latch assembly, said deadbolt latch assembly comprising a deadbolt movable between an extended position when said carrier component is in a lowered position and a retracted position when said carrier component is in a raised position;
• a catch that pivots to hold said carrier component in a raised position;
• and
• a sensor component positioned in a predetermined manner to detect when said carrier component is in a lowered position or in a raised position;
• and
• an electronic control module electrically connected to said sensor component, wherein said electronic control module comprises at least one light indicating the lock status as either locked or unlocked in a predetermined manner based upon the position of said carrier component.

• a biasing component biasing said carrier component toward a lowered position;
• a catch positionable to hold and to maintain said carrier component in said raised position;
• a sensor component positioned in a predetermined manner to detect when said carrier component is in a lowered position or in a raised position;
• and
• an electronic control module operably attached to a solenoid that selectively disengages said catch component allowing said carrier component to move to a lowered position.
