Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.

Claim (Index 18):
A method comprising:\n mounting a pair of plate hinges on corresponding upper and lower tabs that extend from a bolt housing of a deadbolt assembly; positioning back plate and a front plate on opposing sides of the plate hinges, wherein the plate hinges are located within a cavity defined between the back plate and the front plate; fastening the back plate to the front plate to confine the plate hinges within the cavity and define a deadbolt pivot plate assembly that is affixed to the deadbolt assembly, and can pivot vertically with respect to the deadbolt assembly.
