Determining right or left hand side door installation

1. A method of determining right or hand side door installation, comprising:

rotating a drive shaft of a door lock mechanism with a bolt in a clock wise direction or a counter-clock wise direction until there is sufficient extension of the bolt to determine a status of a lock position of an associated door at a dwelling, the door lock mechanism including a position sensing device, the position sensing device sensing a position of the drive shaft and assists in locking and unlocking the bolt;

querying a user of the door lock when the drive shaft is at an end point, wherein the associated door is right hand in-swing, or left hand outswing, installed when the door locks with clock wise rotation and is left hand in-swing, or right hand outswing installed when the door locks with counter clock wise rotation; and

wherein a mobile device of a user occupant of the dwelling is in communication with the door lock mechanism to provide locking or unlocking of the door, and a non-user occupant third party is allowed controlled access to the dwelling with the non-user occupant third party mobile device when the user occupant grants access rights to the non-user occupant third party, the user being the user occupant of the dwelling or the non-user occupant third party.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sufficient extension is not a full extension of the bolt.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the drive shaft is rotated to the end point where there is no further rotational movement of the drive shaft to determine an operating rotational range of the drive shaft.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

recording the end point.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the door locks mechanism is battery powered.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a rotation of the door lock mechanism is directly coupled to dead bolt extension.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a maximum rotation limit is limited by the position sensing device.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the position sensing device is selected from at least one of, an accelerometer, optical encoders, magnetic encoders, mechanical encoders, Hall Effect sensors, potentiometers, contacts with ticks and optical camera encoders.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user occupant's mobile device communicates a status of bolt extension.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the door lock mechanism includes:

an engine with a memory, the engine being coupled to the positioning sensing device;

a circuit coupled to the engine;

an energy source coupled to the circuit; and

a device that converts energy into mechanical energy coupled to the circuit, positioning sensing device and the drive shaft, the device that converts energy being coupled to the energy source to receive energy from the energy source.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the device that converts energy into mechanical energy is used to rotate the drive shaft.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the drive shaft is manually rotated.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

recording the sufficient extension of the bolt to provide for a lock position of the associated door.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

asking the user if the bolt is extended.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sufficient extension of the bolt to provide for a lock position of the associated door is determined when the user sets up the lock system.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sufficient extension of the bolt to provide for a lock position of the associated door by the drive shaft calibrates a door's range of motion.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the position sensor determines position and not just relative movement.

18. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

guessing if the door is right or left side hung and asking the user if the guess is wrong.

19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

having a door user confirm which side the door is hung.
