  • the inner user interface may include any suitable input means for receiving the user input.
  • the input means may include a touch screen, an input keypad, a switch, a pushbutton switch, contactless input means, and the like, and/or any combination thereof.
  • the user input means includes a pushbutton.
  • the door position sensor may include a magnetic switch such as a reed switch.
  • the reed switch may be normally open or normally closed.
  • a permanent magnet may be mounted to a door frame and the reed switch mounted proximate a side of the lockset body facing the magnet and door frame.
  • the reed switch changes state in the presence of a magnetic field and therefore determines when the door is in a closed position (i.e. when a magnetic field is detected) and when the door is in an open position (i.e. when no magnetic field is detected).
  • the door position sensor may be integrated with door furniture of the lockset or the latch assembly.
  • the door position sensor may detect a movement of the bolt. For example, a retracted bolt may indicate an open condition of the door and an extended bold may indicate a closed condition of the door.
  • the lockset may be set to operate in passage mode if the door is in an open condition, and user input is received from the inner user interface.
  • the lockset may be set to operate in safety mode if the door is in a closed condition, and user input is received from the inner user interface.
  • a residential user exiting the house momentarily, for example, to take out the rubbish or retrieve the mail can use the switch (e.g. push the pushbutton) whilst the door is open to set the lockset to passage mode so that the lockset remains unlocked from both sides after it closes.
  • the switch can be used again to set to lockset to safety mode so that the lockset is locked from the outside and unlocked from the inside.
  • the electronic lockset may further including an outer user interface configured for receiving user access credentials for determining a change in an operating mode of the electronic lockset.
  • the outer user interface may include any suitable input means for receiving the user input.
  • the input means may include a touch screen, an input keypad, contactless input means such as an RFID reader, smartcard/barcode reader, biometric input device (e.g. for measuring a fingerprint), wireless communication portal and the like, and/or any combination thereof.
  • the user input means includes a contactless module for receiving input from an authorised access card or mobile device.
  • the contactless module may be configured to communicate with an authorised access application installed on an authorised mobile device, such that presentation of the mobile device whilst running the authorised access application may change one or more associated electronic locksets to a desired operating mode.
  • any change in the operating mode of the electronic lockset may be instantaneously communicated to the second electronic lockset via the one or more wireless communication modules so as to effect the same change in the operating mode of the second electronic lockset.
  • the plurality of operating modes may further include a secure mode whereby the inner hand operable member is rendered inoperable for moving the bolt and the outer hand operable member is rendered inoperable for moving the bolt.
  • the electronic lockset is therefore advantageously configured to provide deadlocking functionality. It is often desirable to prevent egress from the inside to the outside of a building, for example when a residential house is to be left vacant during the day, to prevent unauthorised removal of items through the door.
  • the electronic lockset may further include a microcontroller in communication with the powered control mechanism for controlling operation of the inner hand operable member and the outer hand operable member, the microcontroller being coupled to the one or more wireless communication modules for processing input signals received via the wireless communication module and issuing output signals for transmission via the wireless communication module.
  • a microcontroller in communication with the powered control mechanism for controlling operation of the inner hand operable member and the outer hand operable member, the microcontroller being coupled to the one or more wireless communication modules for processing input signals received via the wireless communication module and issuing output signals for transmission via the wireless communication module.
  • the electronic lockset may be further operable in an auto-lock setting whereby the lockset automatically changes from passage mode to safety mode after a predetermined period has lapsed.
  • the lockset automatically changes from passage mode to safety mode after the door has moved to a closed position and the predetermined period has lapsed.
  • the auto-locking setting is associated with an auto-lock timer and an auto-locking function of the lockset.
  • the auto-locking function once triggered, automatically changes the lockset to safety mode.
  • the auto-lock timer can be configured to count any suitable period of time such that the auto-locking function is triggered once the counting is complete. For example, the timer may be configured to count 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minute, and so forth.
  • the auto-lock setting is enabled, the auto-lock timer starts once the door position indicates that the door has moved to a closed position, and once the counting is complete, the auto-locking function is triggered and the lockset is set to safety mode.
  • the auto-lock timer can be paused, delayed or set to OFF if user input is received from the inner user interface when the door is in the open position. This ensures that the lock will remain unlocked from both sides when the user momentarily exits the house when the auto-lock setting is enabled.
  • the lockset may be configured such that when the auto-lock setting is enabled, and user input is received from the inner user interface when the door is in an open position, the lockset operates in passage mode until the door is in a closed position and user input is received from the inner user interface, the lockset being set to safety mode when the door returns to the closed position and user input is received from the inner user interface.
  • the auto-lock timer may start counting the predetermined period of time, if no user input is received from the inner user interface.
  • the powered control mechanism may include an inner clutch mechanism and an outer clutch mechanism associated with the inner hand operable member and the outer hand operable member respectively, and wherein each clutch mechanism being movable between an engaged condition in which movement of the respective hand operable member results in movement of the bolt, and a disengaged condition in which movement of the respective hand operable member does not result in movement of the bolt.
