Abstract
The device comprises electronic means (2, 3) for querying a transmitter-receiver circuit (1) carried by a person wishing to open the said door, for recognising a predetermined code sent in reply by the said circuit and for subsequently commanding the removal of a locking pin (10) from a catch (11) of a door latch (8) forming part of the lock, and means for the activating of the electronic means (2, 3) by the said person. The said activating means (13) are designed for operating a dialogue between the said electronic means (2, 3) and the circuit (1) and the optional unlocking of the door latch (8) of the lock before the said person's action on the handle (6) causes the door to be blocked by the friction of the pin (10) in the said catch (11) of the door striker (8).
