ABSTRACT:
A safety closure for controlled access, that includes an inner and outer unit mounted on a door to drive a main bolt and a privacy bolt. The outer unit has an armored chassis with a primary tube of the actuating handle and carrying a secondary tube having a square axis that drives the main latch. A retractable tenon provides the connection between the primary and secondary tubes and a retractor treadle is in permanent contact with the retractable tenon and a rocker having elastic arms that drives the retractor treadle. A motorize actuator is activated by an electronic card reader. The motorized actuator or an emergency handle may actuate the rocker in opposite directions. The inner tube has first and second pushing tabs symmetrically arranged in mutual opposition whereby the pushing tabs act independently of each other in response to the direct or opposite turning of the inner actuating handle to actuate the privacy bolt. An emergency lock cylinder drives the emergency handle.
