Abstract:
1. A remotely operated locking paddle handle latch assembly for closures and the like, comprising: a housing adapted for mounting adjacent an associated closure of the type that can be shifted between an open position and a closed position; a paddle handle pivotally mounted in an exterior portion of the housing for rotation between a retracted position and an extended position; a latch operably connected with the paddle handle, and configured such that when the paddle handle is in the retracted position, the latch is in a latched position, wherein the closure cannot be unintentionally shifted from the closed position, and when the paddle handle is in the extended position, the latch is in an unlatched position, wherein the closure is free to be shifted from the closed position to the open position; a key lock mounted on the exterior portion of the housing, and including a movable key lock member selectively movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, the movable key lock member comprising a cylindrical lock plug rotatably mounted in the key lock for pivoting between the locked and unlocked positions; a deadbolt lock movably mounted in the housing for shifting between a locked position, wherein the closure is positively retained in the closed position, and an unlocked position, wherein the closure is free to be shifted between the open and closed positions; the deadbolt lock being operably connected with the movable key lock member, whereby movement of the movable key lock member between the locked and unlocked positions shifts the deadbolt lock between the locked and unlocked positions; a multi-arm lock cam rotatably mounted in the housing and operably connected with the key lock member for rotation therewith; the lock cam having a first crank arm operably connected with the deadbolt lock, a second crank arm, and a third crank arm; and a remotely operable controller operably connected with one of either the second or the third crank arms and power shifting the deadbolt lock between the locked and unlocked positions from a remote location.
