The inventions within, amongst other things, describe improvements for locks having engaging members that are displaceable to an operative configuration that may comprise an extended disposition; said improvements including an improved 30 engaging member and an improved strike plate. Such a lock is described in Patent Specification AU199349195 and derived divisional patents; in Patent Specification AU1994 77719 and derived divisional patents; in PCT/AU04/000764 and PCTAU05/000532 and their respective derived divisional patents; said aforementioned Patent Specifications being included in their entirety by reference. The inventions within 6 are described in the context of the locks described in these patents but they are not limited to these applications. Description of the Drawings Embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of 5 example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Fig. I is an isometric view of a lock in a door, Fig. 2 is an isometric view of a strike plate positioned relative to the lock, Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the lock of Fig 1, Fig. 4 is a horizontal cross-section through the engaging member and casing. 10 Fig. 5 is an isometric view of a lock body having an alternative engaging member, Fig 6 is an enlarged view of the engaging member of Fig 5, Fig. 7 is a horizontal cross-section through the alternative engaging member and strike plate Fig 8: is an isometric view of a lock body having an alternative engaging member, 15 Fig 9 is an enlarged view of the engaging member of Fig 9, Fig. 10 is a horizontal cross-section through the alternative engaging member and strike plate Fig 11 is an isometric view of an alternative engaging member, Fig 12 is a side view of the engaging member of Fig 11, 20 Fig 13 is cross-section AA of Fig 12, Fig 14 is cross-section BB of Fig 13. One of the more common methods. of gaining forced entry through a door and in particular, a security door, is to apply a jemmy or large screw driver between the door and surrounding doorjamb in the vicinity of the lock engaging member to force the door away 25 from the jamb to cause the engaging member to disengage from the strike plate; this jemmying usually characterized by the door being urged outwardly as well as away from the doorjamb. The inventions described herein, amongst other things, describes a means of providing enhanced engagement between the strike plate and engaging member to better resist this disengagement between them. 30 The inventions within include an engageable means 21 and an engaging member 29 supported by a casing 25 and having at least one hollow 27 defined in part by an angled wall 28, the angled wall 28 cooperable to provide enhanced engagement between the engaging member and strike plate when the angled wall is urged outwardly. In some forms, each hollow 27 extends longitudinally from the associated angled wall 28 35 Siwav from the leading end 24 of the enuaaina member (that portion which protrudes 7 furtherest from the casing when the engaging member is in an operative configuration) the leading portion 24 being displaceable between a retracted position and a fully extended position where the leading end protrudes from the casing to extend through the aperture 5 in the engageable means 21 to engage with the leading edge 6 of aperture 5 in 5 conventional lateral engagement. In the improved engaging member, the engaging member 29 also engages in longitudinal engagement to restrain relative longitudinal displacement between the engaging member and leading edge 6. Referring to figure 6, the improved engaging member has, in relation to an extended engaging member 29, an exposed concave recess 10 27 bounded by an outer angled wall 28. In some forms, each hoJlowes 27 is connected to a floor portion 37 (as shown in Fig 4): the mouth 40 of each hollowes 27 being wider that the thickness 38 of the engageable means enabling the leading edge to enter the mouth 40 and in some forms to abut-the floor 37. 15 The inclined surface of the angled wall 28 enables the engaging member 29 to be retracted during normal disengagement without catching on the edge to the extent that disengagement is prevented. If during this process the door is lightly outwardly urged as often occurs, the lip sliding down the angled wall 28 displaces the door towards the closed disposition against the action of the urging. By contrast, if the hollow has an orthogonal 20 side wall and the door is lightly outwardly urged as often occurs during opening, the lip would slide into a hollow 27 to prevent further movement of the engaging member to impede the engaging member from retracting, which of course would be quite dangerous and unacceptable. It will be appreciated that the steeper the angle of the inclined surface of the angled 25 wall 28, the better the longitudinal engagement but the greater the risk of catching - a satisfactory trade off between these competing considerations has been achieved by the design shown in the figures - these being arrived at by trial and error. Such an improved engaging member 29 and improved engageable means 21 provide improvement mutual engagement; where in some experiments the leading edge 30 22 and engaging member remain engaged to be displaced together while another portion of the engageable means remained in engagement relative to the door jamb. In a particular form. the engageable means comprises a substantially conventional strike plate I having a substantially planar portion 2 having apertures 4 to receive fixing screws; portion 2 being connected to a profiled wing 3. The portion 2 35 includes an engageable aperture 5 - all this being common in conventional strike plates.
8 The aperture 5 however is adapted to include a profiled leading edge 6 that includes an inwardly protruding elongated lip 7 that is preferably centrally located along the leading edge 6. In some forms, the lip 7 does not extend to either the top edge 20 nor to the 5 bottorn edges 21 of the apertures 5 so as to accommodate rails described below. This form giving rise to recesses 22 adjacent to the top edge 20 and the bottom edges 21. In some forms the engaging member comprises a engaging member 10 supported in a lock casing 25 and having only one longitudinally elongated hollow 11 as shown in Fig 5 to 7, that extends from an associated angled wall 28 towards the mouth 15 10 of the lock body (the associated angled wail 28 located towards the leading end of the engaging member). In some forms the engaging member comprises a bolt 10 supported in a lock casing 25 and having only one narrow hollow 11 as shown in Fig S to 10, that extends from an associated angled wal 28 towards the mouth 15 of the look body (the associated angled wall 28 located towards the leading end of the engaging member); the 15 angled wall engageable by the lip 7. In some forms the engaging member comprises a bolt 10 supported in a lock casing 25 and having multiple elongated hollow 11 that extend (in directions parallel the lip 7 of the strike plate aperture which in a common disposition of the lock comprises extending vertically) one to be engageable by the lip 7 when the engaging member is within aperture 5.The engaging member may be further configured 20 such that multiple engageable recesses are spaced from adjacent to the mouth 15 of the lock to adjacent to the leading end 24 of the engaging member and preferably all spaced at equally incremental distances. However, experimentation has shown that an engaging member having only one longitudinally elongated hollow 11 as shown in Fig 1I to 14, that extends from an 25 associated angled wall 28 towards the mouth 15 of the lock body and has an angled floor as shown in Fig 14 is most effective because the lip 7 is able to easily slide down the slope to engage the. outer shoulder 28B as the door is becoming urged outwardly with increasing force - shoulders disposed from outer shoulder 28B in experimentation proved ineffective causing to lip to displace relatively in a jerky movement. 30 In some forms, each hollow extends from a position 12 adjacent to one edge of the engaging member (that may comprise an upper edge) to a position 13 adjacent to the opposed edge of the engaging member (that may comprise a lower edge) In some forms of engaging members, the sides are substantially parallel and in some such forms the leading end 24 may have a chamfered 17, bull-nosed or otherwise 35 similarly profiled on each side to accommodate both left hand and right hanged doors. recesses, the greater will be the force applied to the engaging member to urge it outwardly. However, a balance must be struck with a competing need for the disengaging recesses, the greater will be the force applied to the engaging member to urge it outwardly. However, a balance must be struck with a competing need for the disengaging 9 In some forms of engaging members, each upper side portion is characterized by a rail 18 that acts as a bearing surface for the engaging member to slide on as it is displaced over the side walls 33 of the mouth of the lock body; this rail providing an end wall for the engageable recess. Similarly, the lower side portion has a rail 19 that acts as 5 a bearing surface for the engaging member to slide on as it is displaced over the side walls 33 of the mouth 15 of the lock body; this rail providing the other end wall for the engageable recesses. During jemmying in which the closing edge of the door is urged laterally and longitudinally away from the jamb, the lock casing 25 (supported by the door) 10 correspondingly carries the engaging member 10 away from the strike plate while carrying it outwardly. With respect to the engaging member having only one longitudinally elongated hollow 11 as shown in Fig 11 to 14, that extends from an associated angled wall 28B towards the mouth 15 of the lock body and has an angled floor, during the initial part of 15 this displacement, a side 14 of the engaging member is carried to be adjacent the leading edge 6 of the strike plate aperture, further displacement resulting in: a) the lip 7 sliding (uninterruptedly and smoothly) along the side of the engaging member along the sloping floor 29 to abut angled wall 28. At this time, (after abutting the angled wall 28) further jemmying urges the 20 engaging member from the strike plate but for this to happen, the angled wall 28-must slide over the lip 7 and to do so, the wing must displace inwardly against the urging caused by the jemmy; the result being an additional force being applied to the engaging member having a component that urges the engaging member outwardly and this results in a force that urges the wing against displacing away from the door jamb; this force also 25 urges the strike plate towards the engaging member to enhance the engagement between the strike plate and engaging member. In effect, the strike plate is drawn towards the engaging member arid in some cases, this mechanism will cause the portion comprising the peripheral edge of the aperture 5 to deform to enable the lip and angled wall 28 to remain engaged as the wing is 3 6ispaced away from the jamb to further enhance the engagement. This sometimes being referred to as a deformable strike plate. It will be appreciated that the steeper is the leading side of the engageable recesses, the greater will be the force applied to the engaging member to urge it outwardly. However, a balance must be struck with a competing need for the disengaging 10 lever to be able to easily retract the engaging member (as the door is urged outwardly) and this becomes less easy as the leading side becomes steeper as described above. Some latch bolts are designed to slide up the angled shoulder 28B on under all circumstances except when a high outwards force is applied to the door (as may occur 5 under the action of a jemmy); the angle of angled shoulder 28B being gentle and well angularly separated from orthogonality.
