Patent ID: 6971686

Claim:
A multipoint lock system for locking a pair of doors, the system comprising: a first lock mechanism adapted to be operably coupled with a first door of the pair of doors and a second lock mechanism adapted to be operably coupled with a second door of the pair of doors, said second lock mechanism having an open condition and a blocked condition, wherein said first lock mechanism engages said second lock mechanism when said second lock mechanism is in said open condition, and wherein said first lock mechanism is prevented from engaging said second lock mechanism when said second lock mechanism is in said blocked condition, said first lock mechanism including a first primary actuator and at least one primary remote actuator in mechanical communication with the first primary actuator, the second lock mechanism including a second primary actuator and at least one secondary remote actuator in mechanical communication with the second primary actuator, wherein the first lock mechanism comprises at least one sensor trigger mechanism having at least one sensor trigger, wherein the at least one sensor-trigger mechanism is operably coupled with and driven by the at least one primary remote actuator; and wherein the second lock mechanism includes at least one sensor pad, wherein the at least one sensor pad is operably coupled with and driven by the at least one secondary remote actuator.
