Claim:
A door latch system configured for being disposed within a door for selectively locking the door relative to a door frame, the system comprising: a latch assembly including a housing and at least one latch movable between a locked position and an unlocked position; a slider directly engagable with the latch assembly and configured for moving between a blocking position and an unblocking position, the blocking position preventing movement of the latch assembly from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the unblocking position allowing movement of the latch assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position; a first actuator configured to operatively engage the slider; and a second actuator configured to operatively engage the slider, wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are independently operable to displace the slider from the blocking position to the unblocking position thereby allowing the latch assembly to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.
