AI Technical Summary
Existing door locks with pivoting latches are prone to being unlocked from the outside if the latch does not fully extend due to issues like compromised seals or warped doors, and they lack independent locking mechanisms for both pivoting and sliding movements.
A door lock with a pivoting latch that includes a pivot locking device and a separate sliding locking device, both activated by a slide plate, ensuring the latch is locked against pivoting and sliding movements, even if it doesn't fully extend, without needing a separate locking bolt.
The lock provides enhanced security by preventing unauthorized opening from the outside, even with obstacles, and allows flexible operation through manual, motorized, or key actuation, suitable for various applications including panic and barrier-free doors.
