Abstract
A lock assembly for a closure comprises a housing, a handle pivotally mounted in an exterior portion of the housing and a latch operably connected with the handle. A key lock mounted on the exterior portion of the housing has a locked and an unlocked position. A lock cam rotatably mounted in the housing is operably connected with the key lock for rotation therewith. A deadbolt lock is operably connected to the lock cam via a crank arm and a link to a motor. An electronic touchpad mounted on the exterior portion of the housing is operatively connected with the motor, whereby entry of a preselected numerical code actuates the motor and contemporaneously shifts the deadbolt lock between locked and unlocked positions.
