Interconnected lock with door status sensor

An interconnected lock assembly mounted in a door comprising:

• a first lock assembly operably connected to a deadlatch assembly;
• a second lock assembly operably connected with said first lock assembly 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 biasing component biasing said carrier component toward a lowered position;
• and
• a catch biased by a spring component to hold said carrier component in said raised position;
• a sensor component positioned within said deadlatch assembly in a predetermined manner to detect when said door is an open or closed position;
• and
• an electronic control module operably attached to a solenoid, said solenoid selectively engageable to disengage said catch component allowing said carrier component to move to a lowered position.

An interconnected lock assembly mounted in a door comprising:

• a first lock assembly operably connected to a deadlatch assembly;
• and
• a second lock assembly, operably interconnected with said first lock assembly by a rack mounted on a carrier component, said second lock assembly operably connected to a deadbolt latch assembly, said deadbolt latch assembly having 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,
• wherein said deadlatch assembly is coupled to a deadlatch plunger moveable between a retracted position when said door is in a closed position and an extended position when said door is an open position,
• wherein said deadlatch plunger includes at least one extension positioned to engage a sensor component housed within said deadlatch assembly when said door is in said closed position, and
• wherein when said door is in said open position, said extension of said deadlatch plunger disengages said sensor to prevent release of said carrier component from said raised position.
