Patent attributes
An electric lock includes an outer door assembly, a nexus, an inner door assembly, and a latch bolt. The outer lock assembly is arranged to an outer side of a door. The nexus is connected to the outer door assembly. The inner door assembly is connected to the nexus and arranged to an inner side of the door. The latch bolt is connected to a latch bolt retaining unit of the nexus. An actuator of the nexus will move an engagement rod and a protruded block forward to engage an outer handle to the nexus for opening the door when inputting a correct password to the electric lock. The door can be opened by a proper key also. The nexus will be isolated from the outer handle to prevent damage to the nexus when a user does not have a right key and a correct password to the electric lock.
