Claim Text:
1. An electronic coded entry lock comprising: a multifunction switch having an actuator and a circuit member, the actuator configured to be displaced along at least three axes to a plurality of input positions, the plurality of input positions including at least a lateral input position and at least two code input positions, the circuit member configured to, when the actuator is displaced to a code input position of the at least two code input positions, provide a first signal associated with the code input position; and a controller configured to generate a command to actuate the electronic coded entry lock when a plurality of the first signals provided by the circuit member correspond to a security code, the actuator being laterally displaced from a rest position to the lateral input position along a central axis of the actuator, the actuator structured to close a circuit of the circuit member when the actuator is at the lateral input position, the closed circuit configured to generate a second signal for at least one of an electrical wake up of the circuit member and a door bell chime, the second signal being generated independent of the actuator being placed at any of the at least two code input positions.
