An exit device for a door having a first stile, a second stile, and a midrail coupled to the first and second stiles and defining a cutout. The exit device comprises a latching mechanism positioned in the cutout. A pushbar positioned in the cutout encloses the latching mechanism and has a front surface. The front surface is positionable in an extended position and a depressed position. The front surface defines a plurality of apertures which communicate with the latching mechanism. A lid slideably engages the front surface and has a closed position and an open position. The lid covers the plurality of apertures in the closed position.

A lock assembly for use with a door movably coupled to a door frame. The lock assembly includes a housing, a control member, a latchbolt, and a locking member. The control member is movably coupled to the housing from a locked position to an unlocked position to allow the door to move with respect to the door frame. The latchbolt moves with respect to the housing in a first direction and a second direction. The locking member is configured for engagement with the control member to move the locking member with respect to the housing into and out of an engaged position with respect to the latchbolt. The locking member includes a surface that contacts the latchbolt when the locking member is in the engaged position to substantially prevent movement of the latchbolt in the first and second directions.

Door lock assembly

A control assembly configured for a narrow stile door and for interaction with an exit device. The control assembly provides a means to translate user input, such as rotating a lever to operate a centercase. The control includes a slider for sliding movement within a housing between a first position extending a latchbolt of the exit device and a second position withdrawing the latchbolt. The control assembly configuration incorporates a swivel locking latch rotatable into the path of the slider to prevent the slider from moving out of the first position.

Control for exit device

An improved exit alarm lock including a push pad moveable between an extended position and a depressed position; a pivotable first bell crank, a first end of the first bell crank being connected to a first end of the push pad; a pivotable support connected to a second end of the push pad; and a deadbolt moveable between a retracted position and an extended position, a second end of the first bell crank directly engaging the deadbolt, whereby when the push pad is moved to the depressed position, the push pad pivots the first bell crank, the first bell crank second end contacts the deadbolt and moves the deadbolt from the extended position to the retracted position.

A switching assembly for use with an exit alarm lock. The switching assembly uses two reed switches which must both be closed for the alarm horn to sound. An arm/disarm switch is operated by a magnet on a pivotable switch link which is operated by a link boss on rotatable deadbolt cams which are operated by the key cylinders. An alarm switch is operated by a magnet in the deadbolt.

Exit alarm lock

A sliding deadbolt for use with an exit alarm lock having deadbolt guide supports which are closer to the centerline of the deadbolt than the point at which the exit alarm lock drivers contact the deadbolt to move the deadbolt between a retracted position and an extended position. By placing the guide supports closer the deadbolt centerline, the resistive forces between the deadbolt and the support/bolt contact points as a result of loads on the deadbolts (such as from the exit alarm lock drives), are reduced.
