Improved Replacement Door Lock Connector Mechanism
A connector for a multipoint locking mechanism comprising first and second actuator strips 202 204 each with teeth 242 244 located on one edge which overlap in use for transmitting tensile and compressive loads between locks in a door frame and a joining member 100 for engaging the edge teeth in the region of overlap. The engaging teeth allows the overall length of the combined actuator strip pair to adjusted thus being installable on a variety of different door heights. Preferably the connector is used on a multipoint lock extending in both directions from a central locking hub. The teeth may be triangular and self aligning. The connector may have two slots down the middle for engaging each of the actuator strips and include a fastener 300 for example a self-tapping screw which is then sunk into the door stile. There may also be a guide (400 figure 7) for fitting over the actuator strips and securing to the door frame. A lock mechanism and a method of retro-fitting the mechanism on a door is also disclosed.
