Patent attributes
A door lock system for enclosures is provided which includes a screw drive mechanism releasably mounted on a back plate member and coupled via threads to a threaded locking member to linearly drive the locking member to engage with a receptor on an enclosure frame to lock the enclosure. A controller unit has an integrated circuit configured to control the operation of the screw drive mechanism and report the status of the door to a central location. A position switch is used to indicate whether the door is open or closed so that the controller unit can automatically engage the screw drive mechanism to lock the door after a preset time delay. A keypad allows a user to enter a code to unlock the door. A radio in the controller unit permits wireless communication to report status and to allow central command control over the doors.
