Abstract:
A safe door lock with a servo motor (34) operated cam (33) is described. A retracting lever (26) is pivotally secured to the locking bolt (15) and is displaced on a pivot connection with the bolt (15) by the cam (33). The position of the cam (33) and the bolt (15) are detected by microswitches. When the retracting lever (26) is in a locking position, the bolt (15) cannot be retracted within the lock housing (11). The cam (33) is operated by a servo motor (34) and locked in position by the gear train which includes a worm gear (64, 67). The locking bolt (15) may be a slam bolt having a spring (50) biased latch (16) which slides therewith or the locking bolt (15) may be a deadbolt when the lock is used with a boltwork system of a vault door.
