Aspects disclosed herein relate to roll-up door locks for roll-up doors. Roll-up door locks may comprise a latch configured to be moved between a latched and an unlatched position as well as a blocker configured to be moved between a blocking and an unblocking position such that in the blocking position, movement of the latch is restricted by the blocker. An electromechancial actuator may be coupled to the blocker to move the blocker between the blocking and unblocking positions. An authentication device may be implemented in the roll-up door lock to validate a credential associated with a user and to in turn send commands to the actuator to move the blocker between the blocking and unblocking positions. In some embodiments, the roll-up door lock may be powered through the use of inductive coupling from a remote device.

Embodiments described herein relate to a motorized door lock detection system. Some embodiments of the device include a sensor gear that meshes directly with the gear system of the motorized door lock. As the sensor gear rotates, it drives the rotating contact of a potentiometer, varying the voltage in a reference circuit that corresponds directly with an angular position of the thumb-drive used to drive the deadbolt. In some embodiments, a conducting member that rotates with the output shaft of the deadbolt contacts a plurality of electrical contacts positioned such that they are contacted when the deadbolt is in a position range that requires more precise position monitoring. When the conducting member is in contact with a deadbolt, power is supplied such the output from the potentiometer can be determined. In this way, power to the potentiometer and/or controller driving the potentiometer can be limited.

Abrégé

A gasket system for an electromechanical locking device includes an inner gasket for the door facing surface of the device. The peripheral edge of the inner gasket and the peripheral edge of the housing of the device include complementary step features that interact to compress the peripheral edge of the inner gasket to seal the housing and mitigate air and water flow into the locking device. Some embodiments of the device include an “L” shaped front gasket that is compressed between stepped features of two portions of the housing to further mitigate air and water flow. Openings in the gaskets for lock components are circumferentially surrounded by compressible ribs that extend from the surface of the gasket. The compressible ribs are compressed against the surface of the door preventing air and water from migrating through openings.

An electronic lock housing for the inside surface of a door with an opening therethrough has an interior portion for receiving electronic components for a door lock, a back portion with channels, a bracket, a plug, and a front portion. The back portion is meant for securing onto the door surface and has an opening meant for alignment with the door opening. The channels in the back portion permit air from the outside of the door to flow through the door opening and housing back opening to the inside of the door without passing through the housing interior. The bracket secures the back portion to the door and receives the plug to create an air-tight seal within the housing interior. The housing front portion is secured over the assembled back portion, bracket, and plug once they are installed to the door surface, fully encasing the electronic components.

An access control system cooperates with a security system. The access control system may be used to control aspects of the security system and the security system may be used to control aspects of a lockset used to lock or unlock an access point (e.g., door). A user can choose to arm or disarm the security system via the access control system and similarly the user may choose to lock or unlock the access point via the security system.

An integrated access control system for wirelessly managing an access point comprises a wirelessly operable electronic door lock coupled to the access point, a computing device controlled and operated by a first user, and a multi-radio host device located at or adjacent to the access point, the host device being in communication with the electronic door lock and the computing device. Each of the computing device and the host device comprises a memory configured to store instructions to enable the device to wirelessly communicate with the electronic door lock and the other device, a processor configured to execute the instructions, a low power wireless communication radio, and a high power wireless communication radio, wherein the host device and computing device are selectively capable of bidirectional communication via each of a low power radio communication channel and a high power radio communication channel. The host device further comprises at least one mechanism for detecting and/or capturing the presence of a second user accessing the access point, and the computing device further comprises a display and a user interface. The host device is configured to send event and/or system notifications to the computing device and receive operational and/or configuration commands from the computing device via the low power radio communication channel, and the host device is further configured to selectively operate the host device high power wireless communication radio to transmit an image and/or video captured by the host device at least one mechanism to the computing device in response to a command from the computing device via the low power radio communication channel.
