ABSTRACT:
An electronic digital combination lock including a frame supported within the interior of a door; a bolt mechanism which moves in relation to the frame to be retracted from a door jamb to open the door; a logic circuit which generates a control signal in response to entry of a predetermined combination signal, including push button switches which are housed within the door interior and produce bits when selectively depressed; and, a rotatable handle member which is coupled to the frame from the outside surface of the door to activate the bolt mechanism, including a tube that is coupled adjacent the push button switches and is selectively rotatable to depress each of the switches to generate the predetermined combination signal. The handle member including the tube has only limited rotational movement until the correct combination signal is entered, at which time an electromagnetic and lever mechanism is energized to release the handle member for extended rotation to retract the belt mechanism.
