First Claim
1. A central locking system for a building having at least one window or door, the system comprising a central control unit in communication with a storage means for retaining pressurised fluid, the storage means being in fluid communication with at least one locking mechanism operable in response to a signal from the central control unit to the storage means to move between an inoperative position in which the opening and closing of the associated door or window is unimpeded and an operative position in which the opening and closing of the door or window is impeded.

- 1. A central locking system for a building having at least one window or door, the system comprising a central control unit in communication with a storage means for retaining pressurised fluid, the storage means being in fluid communication with at least one locking mechanism operable in response to a signal from the central control unit to the storage means to move between an inoperative position in which the opening and closing of the associated door or window is unimpeded and an operative position in which the opening and closing of the door or window is impeded.
- 23. A central locking system for a building having at least one window or door, the system comprising a central control unit in communication at least one locking mechanism operable in response to a signal from the central control unit to move between an inoperative position in which the opening and closing of the associated door or window is unimpeded and an operative position in which the opening and closing of the door or window is impeded, the door or window with which the locking mechanism is associated has a euro-groove for accommodation of window or door furniture, and the locking mechanism cooperates with the euro-groove in the operative position to impeded opening and closing of the window or door.
- 25. A method of providing a control system for a building structure of the kind having an exterior wall structure including an inner wall and an outer wall and a cavity between the inner and outer walls, the system including a central control unit which is connected by control lines to remote operating units including at least one operator input unit, each remote operating unit being located within a boundary of the exterior wall structure, the method being characterised by the step of installing control lines at least partially within the cavity so as to extend between the central control unit and at least one of the remote operating units.
-
48. A method of installing a control system in a building structure substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
-
51. Any novel feature or novel combination of features described herein and/or in the accompanying drawings.
- 52. A locking mechanism for a building central locking system comprising a pneumatically operated protrusion moveable along a primary axis between an extended and a retracted position in which the locking mechanism respectively impedes and allows the opening and closing of an associated door or window, and a plurality a support means to guide the movement of the protrusion between the extended and the retracted positions, the support means being configured substantially to prevent movement or rotation of the protrusion away from the primary axis.
