Abstract
An electrically controllable lock assembly (20) including a lock bolt (28), a first hub (36), a second hub (68), a first hub locker (64), a second hub locker (72), a first driver (62) and a second driver (70). The lock bolt (28) is movable between a latching position and an unlatching position. The first hub (36) is adapted to move the lock bolt (28) in response to movement of a first handle. The second hub (68) is adapted to move the lock bolt (28) in response to movement of a second handle. The first hub locker (64) is positionable to selectively prevent or allow movement of the lock bolt (28) in response to torque being applied to the first hub (36) from the first handle. The second hub locker (72) is positionable to selectively prevent or allow movement of the lock bolt (28) in response to torque being applied to the second hub (68) from the second handle. The first driver (62) is electrically controllable to position the first hub locker (64) to thereby selectively prevent or allow movement of the lock bolt (28) in response to torque being applied to the first hub (36) from the first handle and the second driver (70) is electrically controllable to position the second hub lock…
