Abstract

A high security locking system can be used in a conventional pivot door adapted for use with a latch and deadbolt lock combination. The high security system can be a multi-point lock, received in a recess formed in a locking edge side of a door stile, cooperating with a linkage or other mechanism in a conventional deadbolt/location. The lock can be actuated with a keyed cylinder and thumb turn combination.

Claims (30)

1. A door lock comprising:

an elongate housing;

an insert housing defining a slot, wherein the insert housing is secured to the elongate housing;

a bar slide adapted for movement from a first position to a second position, wherein the bar slide is adapted to be actuated by a movement of a lever arm, and wherein the bar slide is disposed at least partially in the slot;

a locking member adapted for movement from a retracted position within the elongate housing to an extended position out from the elongate housing upon movement of the bar slide from the first position to the second position; and

a transmission for coupling movement of the bar slide with movement of the locking member, wherein the transmission extends from the insert housing to the elongate housing.

2. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the transmission comprises a bar link and a drive bar.

3. The door lock of claim 2 , wherein the bar link is connected to both the drive bar and the bar slide with a pin connection.

4. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the elongate housing is disposed below the insert housing when the door lock is installed in a locking edge side of a door.

5. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the elongate housing is connected to the insert housing.

6. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the locking member is pivotably mounted in the elongate housing.

7. The door lock of claim 6 , wherein the transmission is connected to the locking member at a drive pin.

8. The door lock of claim 7 , wherein the transmission comprises a bar link and a drive bar.

9. The door lock of claim 8 , wherein the bar link is connected to the bar slide and the drive bar is connected to the locking member at the drive pin.

10. The door lock of claim 4 , wherein the elongate housing is disposed in a substantially vertical orientation when the door lock is installed in the locking edge side of the door, and the insert housing is disposed in a substantially horizontal orientation when the door lock is installed in the locking edge side of the door.

11. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the insert housing defines an axis wherein the slot is disposed at an angle to the axis.

12. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the slot comprises a travel slot and a detent, wherein the detent is disposed at an angle to the travel slot.

13. A door lock comprising:

an elongate housing comprising a channel and a base;

an insert connected to the base, wherein the insert defines a pin slot;

a bar slide at least partially disposed in the insert;

a transmission at least partially disposed in the insert;

a drive bar at least partially disposed in the channel of the elongate housing and connected to the transmission;

a locking element movably engaged with the drive bar; and a pin connecting the bar slide and the transmission, wherein the pin is configured to slide in the pin slot.

14. The door lock of claim 13 , wherein the insert defines an axis and wherein the pin slot is disposed at an angle to the axis.

15. The door lock of claim 13 , wherein the drive bar is moveable between a first position and a second position, and wherein between the first position and the second position, the drive bar extends the locking element from the elongate housing.

16. The door lock of claim 15 , wherein the locking element is connected to the elongate housing with a pivot pin and wherein the locking element is connected to the drive bar with a drive pin.

17. The door lock of claim 14 , wherein the pin slot further comprises a detent.

18. The door lock of claim 13 , the bar slide is configured to be positioned in a first position and a second position.

19. The door lock of claim 18 , wherein a first end of the bar slide is configured to move in an arcing direction from the first position to the second position and wherein a second end of the bar slide is configured to move in a linear direction from the first position to the second position.
