Abstract:
1. A door lock system, comprising: a) a frame having a first side and a second side opposite said first side; b) a deadbolt and a door latch connected to said frame and configured to move between retracted and extended positions; c) a first rotary control connected to said frame, said first rotary control having a first axis of rotation and configured to control deadbolt movement between extended and retracted positions and to retract said deadbolt when said first rotary control is rotated in a first rotational direction; d) a second rotary control having a second axis of rotation off-spaced from said first rotary control and configured to control latch movement between extended and retracted positions; and e) a lever coupled to said frame at a pivot point, wherein said lever includes an extension configured to positively move said latch to said retracted position in response to rotation of said first rotary control in said first rotational direction when said deadbolt is moved toward said retracted position by said first rotary control, wherein said lever is configured to be rotatable about said pivot point in a second rotational direction opposite of said first rotational direction through an arc in response to a rotary input to said first rotary control, and wherein said lever effects simultaneous movement of said deadbolt and said latch between said extended and retracted positions in response to said rotary input to said first rotary control.
