High security lock for door
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.

6. The door lock of claim 5 , further comprising a pivot pin connecting the second end and the transmission, wherein the pivot pin moves in a substantially linear direction from in a slot defined by the insert housing.
7. The door lock of claim 1 , further comprising a cover plate adapted to be secured to the elongate housing.
8. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the elongate housing comprises a U-shaped channel defining at least one aperture.
9. The door lock of claim 8 , wherein the locking member extends through the aperture when in the second position.
10. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the locking member is pivotally connected to the elongate housing.
11. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the locking member comprises an inner pin and an outer deadbolt element.
12. The door lock of claim 11 , wherein the outer deadbolt element comprises a leading tapered surface and a trailing tapered surface.
13. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the transmission comprises at least one of a bar link, a gear, and a cable.
14. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the locking member comprises a plurality of locking members.
15. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the drive bar comprises a substantially vertical drive bar axis and the bar slide comprises a bar slide axis at an angle to the drive bar axis, and wherein the transmission comprises a bar link comprising a bar link axis.
16. The door lock of claim 15 , wherein when the drive bar and the bar slide are in their respective second positions, the bar link axis is defined by an angle of less than about 90° from the bar slide axis.
17. The door lock of claim 15 , wherein when the drive bar and the bar slide are in their respective second positions, the bar link axis is substantially parallel to the bar drive axis.
18. The door lock of claim 1 , further comprising:
a connection pin coupling the transmission and the bar slide.
19. The door lock of claim 18 , wherein the insert housing defines a slot comprising a first travel portion and a detent, and wherein the connection pin slides along the slot.
20. The door lock of claim 19 , wherein the connection pin is located in the detent when the drive bar is in the second position.
21. A door lock comprising:
a drive bar adapted for movement from a first position to a second position;
a locking member connected to the drive bar, the locking member adapted for pivoting movement from a first position to a second position upon linear movement of the drive bar from the first position to the second position, and wherein the locking member is adapted to engage a keeper when the locking element is in the extended position;
a bar slide adapted for movement from a first position to a second position, upon application of a force by a lever arm, wherein the bar slide comprises:
a first end defining an opening for connection to the lever arm; and
a second end pivotally connected to the transmission, wherein, from the first position of the bar slide to the second position of the bar slide, the first end moves in a substantially arcing direction and the second end moves in a substantially linear direction; and
a transmission for coupling movement of the bar slide with movement of the drive bar, such that when the bar slide is in the first position, the drive bar is in the first position, and when the bar slide is in the second position, the drive bar is in the second position.
22. A door lock comprising:
a drive bar adapted for movement from a first position to a second position;
a pivot pin connected to the drive bar;
a locking member connected to the drive bar via the pivot pin, the locking member adapted for pivotal movement from a first, refracted position to a second, extended position upon movement of the drive bar from the first position to the second position, and wherein the locking member is adapted to engage a keeper when the locking element is in the extended position;
a bar slide adapted for movement from a first position to a second position, upon application of a force to the bar slide;
a transmission for coupling movement of the bar slide with movement of the drive bar;
a connection pin connecting the bar slide and the transmission; and
a housing defining a slot for sliding receipt of the connection pin as the bar slide moves from the first position to the second position such that when the bar slide is in the first position, the drive bar is in the first position, and when the bar slide is in the second position, the drive bar is in the second position.
23. The door lock of claim 22 , wherein the insert housing defines a slot comprising a first travel portion and a detent, and wherein the connection pin is adapted to slide along the slot.
