Abstract

A lock assembly including a lock bolt, a first hub, a first electrically powered hub locker assembly and a manually driven hub locker assembly. The lock bolt is movable between a latching position and an unlatching position. The first hub is adapted to move the lock bolt in response to movement of a first handle. The first electrically powered hub locker assembly is positionable to selectively prevent or allow movement of the lock bolt in response to torque being applied to the first handle and is configurable for fail safe operation. The manually driven hub locker assembly is positionable to selectively prevent or allow movement of the lock bolt in response to torque being applied to the first handle.
