Abstract

A lock assembly, for a door panel of a transit vehicle, has its locking action directly driven by the door operator into which it is incorporated. The locking assembly holds the door panel in a closed position through direct contact with the door panel, providing improved reliability by bypassing intermediate components of the door operator.
