ABSTRACT:
A dead bolt actuating assembly capable of moving a dead bolt between a retracted position and an extended position includes a latch arm having an end portion mounted on a rotating shaft. The latch arm is movable in response to the rotational movement of the shaft between a first position in which the dead bolt is in its retracted position and a second position in which the dead bolt is in its extended position. A link having an elongate body is pivotally connected to the opposite end portion of the latch arm at one end thereof. The link has a foot portion at the other end of the body extending in a generally perpendicular direction from the body. The foot portion is releasably engageable with the dead bolt for selectively moving the dead bolt from its retracted position to its extended position upon movement of the latch arm from its first position to its second position.
