Abstract

A push-type pin cylinder assembly (10) including a housing (12), a cylinder barrel (34) and a detent (26). The housing (10) has a barrel opening (14) therein. The cylinder barrel (34) has a key slot (36), a detent recess (38) and a longitudinal axis. The cylinder barrel (34) is slidably mounted in the barrel opening (14) for axial movement relative to the housing (12). The detent (26), which is mounted in the housing (12), is adapted to bias the barrel (34) towards a rest position when engaged with the detent recess (38). During insertion of a correctly coded key (37) into the key slot (36), the detent (26) holds the barrel (34) in the rest position until insertion of the key (37) is at least substantially complete after which the key (37) then causes the detent (26) to be driven out of biasing engagement with the cylinder barrel (34) where after pushing of the key (37) and/or the cylinder barrel (34) in the direction of key insertion axially moves the cylinder ban-el (34) relative to the housing (12) from the rest position to an actuated position.

The handle (14) is adapted for turning about an axis (16). The drive member (38) is operable on a latch and/or lock mechanism and is rotatably mounted to the handle (14). The handing plate (40) is non-rotatably mounted to the handle (14) and includes means (56) to engage the drive member (38) in at least one position relative to the axis (16) of the handle (14) to connect the drive member (38) to the handle for rotation with the handle (14). The escutcheon (12) receives a part (48) of the handle (14) therethrough. The fixing means (44) substantially fixes, in the direction of the axis (16) of the handle (14), the handle (14) relative to the escutcheon (12). The spring means (36) biases the drive member (38) towards the handing plate (40).

Abstract

A power source and/or control component housing (16) for a device (10) mounted on or in a door. The door mountable device (10) including at least one component requiring electric power and/or an electric control signal. The power source and/or control component housing (16) being adapted to house at least one of a power source (26) or a control component (24). The power source and/or control component housing (16) being mountable in or on the door at a location independent to that of the door mountable device (10), and being operatively connected to the door mounted device (10).

Abstract

A lock assembly (20) adapted for handing. The lock assembly (20) includes a housing, a lock bolt (34), a first hub, (42) a locking bar (74) and a first hub locker (70). The lock bolt (34) is movable between a latching position and an unlatching position. The first hub (42) is adapted to move the lock bolt (34) in response to movement of a first handle. The locking bar (74) is movable between an advanced position and a withdrawn position. The first hub locker (70) is releasably engageable with the locking bar (74) at either of a first position or a second position relative to the locking bar (74). The first hub locker (70) retains its position relative to the housing (21) whilst being released from engagement with the locking bar (74) at one of the first position or the second position, thereby allowing movement of the locking bar (74) relative to the housing (21) and to the first hub locker (70) for engagement of the first hub locker (70) at the other of the first position or the second position.

Abstract

A door furniture mounting assembly (10, 10′) including a relatively smaller rosette (12) with a handle side and a door side. The door side of the rosette (12) includes at least one exterior recess (24) adapted for rotational and axial engagement with at least one inwardly extending protuberance (32) on the door side of a relatively larger rosette sleeve (30).

Abstract

Methods and systems are described herein for remotely or wirelessly controlling access to dwellings, buildings and/or properties. In one aspect, an electronic access system comprises: a plurality of independent access control devices (115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 165) for controlling entry and/or exit at respective access points and at least one remote control device (170) adapted to wirelessly transmit control signals to the access control devices (115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 165) and wirelessly receive feedback signals from the access control devices. The at least one remote control device (170) is adapted to indicate status information based on receipt of the feedback signals. The plurality of access control devices (115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 165) may be adapted to operate mechanical, electrical or electro-mechanical devices for enabling and/or disabling access in response to receipt of a wireless control signal.

Abstract

A lock assembly (10) adapted for use with a powered actuator. The lock assembly (10) comprising a housing (14), a first barrel part (18), a torque transmitting member (24), a first cam (12), a drive device (16) and a spring (26). The housing (14) has at least a first axially extending recess (12a) therein. The first barrel part (18) is within the first recess (12a). The torque transmitting member (24) is adapted for abutment and releasable rotational engagement with a key (46). The first cam (12) is adapted to operate a lock or latch mechanism and for rotational movement with the torque transmitting member (24). The drive device (16) is adapted for engagement with the powered actuator and releasable engagement with the torque transmitting member (24). The spring (26) biases the torque transmitting member (24) towards engagement with the drive device (16). The absence of a key (46) in the first barrel part (18) allows the torque transmitting member (24) to be moved by the spring (26) into engagement with the drive device (16), whereby pivoting movement of the drive device (16) causes corresponding pivoting movement of the cam (12). A key (46) in the first barrel part (18) engages and abuts the torque transmitting member (24) and moves the torque transmitting member (24) out of engagement with the drive device (16), whereby pivoting movement of the key (46) causes corresponding pivoting movement of the cam (12).
