Abstract

Embodiments provide a lock including an actuator that is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position, and a bolt that is movable between an extended bolt position and a retracted bolt position independent of the position of the actuator. In the extended bolt position, the bolt extends outside a body of the lock. A coupling element is arranged between the actuator and the bolt and is movable between an extended coupling position and a retracted coupling position in response to movement of the actuator between the locked position and the unlocked position. A first biasing element biases the coupling element toward the retracted coupling position, and a second biasing element couples the coupling element to the bolt and is structured to bias the bolt away from the coupling element and towards the extended bolt position.

Abstract

A method of securing communications between a security device and a security server include receiving, at the security server, a registration request from the security device, the registration request being encrypted using an initial registration key. A device identifier and rotation key unique to the security device are transmitted to the security device. A first session key request is received at the security server from the security device, the request being encrypted using the rotation key. A first session key is transmitted to the security device in response. One or more communications, encrypted using the first session key, is received at the security server from the security device. A second session key request is received at the security server from the security device after the first session key has expired, the request encrypted using the rotation key. A second session key is transmitted to the security device in response.

Abstract

A method of communicating between a wireless security device and a security server through an access point includes estimating a link latency between a time of transmission of a message from the wireless security device and a time at which a response is received from the security server. A polling mode is enabled in which the access point will hold messages received by the access point that are directed to the wireless security device while the device is in a sleep state, without discarding the messages for a threshold period of time. The wireless security device may be placed in a sleep state and woken after a wake time determined based on the estimated link latency, and receives any messages received by the access point during the sleep state.
