Abstract
The latch actuating mechanism uses both an electric motor and a cylinder lock as alternative means for selectively locking a handle to a cam that in turn can operate a latch mechanism in order to allow the handle to be used to open the latch mechanism. A biasing means urges the handle to the closed position.
