HIGH SECURITY LOCK APPARATUS

摘要

A high security lock apparatus comprises a deadbolt lock (70) having a lock body (71) and a deadbolt (73) extendible therefrom. A lock body support (67) cooperates with the lock body (71) to permit relative movement therebetween and has a deadbolt clearance opening (81) therein to receive the deadbolt (73) when aligned therewith. A doorbolt is operatively connected to the lock body support (67) and mounted for movement with respect to a complementary doorbolt stop in response to said relative movement. A tool receiver (77) cooperates with the lock body support (67) and receives an alignment tool (101) to generate the said movement to align the deadbolt (73) with the deadbolt clearance opening (81) prior to extending the deadbolt (73). Preferably, the lock body (71) is journalled for rotation relative to the lock body support (67). The lock body support (67) preferably has an actuating arm (21, 22) extending therefrom and a doorbolt link extends from the actuating arm (21, 22) to the doorbolt to operatively connect them together to actuate the doorbolt. In this way, strength of the deadbolt itself does not effect overall strength of the high security lock apparatus.
