Abstract:
A gasket system for an electromechanical locking device includes an inner gasket for the door facing surface of the device. The peripheral edge of the inner gasket and the peripheral edge of the housing of the device include complementary step features that interact to compress the peripheral edge of the inner gasket to seal the housing and mitigate air and water flow into the locking device. Some embodiments of the device include an “L” shaped front gasket that is compressed between stepped features of two portions of the housing to further mitigate air and water flow. Openings in the gaskets for lock components are circumferentially surrounded by compressible ribs that extend from the surface of the gasket. The compressible ribs are compressed against the surface of the door preventing air and water from migrating through openings.

Claim (Index 1):
An electromechanical locking device for a door, the device comprising:\n a housing having an open back with a stepped edge formed around the periphery of the open back of the housing, the stepped edge defined by a distal flat surface substantially parallel to a door surface, a perpendicular surface extending perpendicularly away from the door surface from the distal flat surface, and an inner ledge portion extending parallel to the door surface from the perpendicular surface; and a gasket constructed and arranged to cover the open back of the housing, having a step extending from edges of the gasket, wherein the step is sized and shaped to conform to the stepped edge such that, in an undeformed, state the gasket is disposed over the open back of the housing with the step contacting both the perpendicular surface and the inner ledge portion of the stepped edge, and wherein, when the housing is installed on the door, the distal flat surface of the housing contacts the door surface, and the step of the gasket is compressed between the inner ledge portion of the housing and the door surface, mitigating passage of water or air into the housing.
