Claim 7:
8. An access control method using a jamb-mounted access control system, wherein the jamb-mounted access control system is disposed inside a door jamb and is configured to interface with a latch tongue of a door, the method comprising:
receiving an unlock control signal at a controller in a housing of the jamb-mounted access control system;
using the controller, activating an actuator to rotate a cam member of a linkage system, wherein the linkage system includes a first link member engageable with a rotatable arm, a second link member movably coupled to the first link member, and the cam member movably coupled to the second link member, the rotation of the cam member is configured to translate the second link member and the first link member along a first axis that extends parallel to the door jamb such that the rotatable arm is rotatable from a first position to a second position, wherein the rotation of the rotatable arm is about a second axis that extends orthogonally to the door jamb;
in response to the rotation of the rotatable arm, releasing a lock body to rotate between a locked position and an unlocked position about a third axis that extends parallel to the door jamb, wherein in the first position, the rotatable arm engages the lock body and inhibits rotation of the lock body, and in the second position, the rotatable arm is disengaged from the lock body.
