DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY AND LOCKING SYSTEM FOR HINGED DOUBLE-ACTING IMPACT-TRAFFIC DOORS
First Claim
1. A lock assembly, comprising:
- a moveable bolt arranged within a housing and having a first cross-sectional length;
a strikeplate spaced apart from the housing and having a hole with a second length; and
an actuator adapted to move the bolt from an unlocked position where the bolt is within the housing to a locked position where a portion of the bolt extends into the hole, wherein the second length is 3-10 times greater than the first length such that the difference between the second length and the first length provides for an amount of play between the bolt and the strikeplate when the bolt is in the locked position.

Abstract
A lock assembly and locking systems adapted for use with hinged bidirectional hardened plastic doors is provided. The lock assembly comprises a moveable bolt arranged within a housing and a having a first perimeter; a strikeplate spaced apart from the housing and having a hole with a second perimeter; and an actuator adapted to move the bolt from an unlocked position where the bolt is within the housing to a locked position where a portion of the bolt extends into the hole, wherein the second perimeter is 2-10 times greater than the first perimeter such that the hinged double-acting impact-traffic door has an amount of play when the bolt is in the locked position.

11. A lock assembly adapted for use with a hinged double-acting impact-traffic door, comprising:
-
a moveable bolt arranged within a housing and a having a first radial length and a second radial length;
a strikeplate spaced apart from the housing and having a hole with a first radial length and a second radial length, the first or second radial length of the hole being 2-10 times greater than the first or second radial length of the bolt; and
an actuator adapted to move the bolt from an unlocked position where the bolt is within the housing to a locked position where a portion of the bolt extends into the hole, wherein when the bolt is in the locked position the hinged double-acting impact-traffic door can be pushed or pulled at least 0.5 inch without the bolt exterior contacting the hole interior. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
