A fail-secure lock apparatus includes a normally pneumatically actuated locking bolt that can be manually operated to withdraw the same in the event of a power failure. The apparatus incorporates a standard key operated lockset connected to operate the pneumatic power drive means or, in the event of a power failure, is connected to rotate a cable reel mechanically to effect movement of the locking bolt to the unlocked position.

A lock mechanism for a door or the like comprising: a frame, a latch bolt, a cylinder body fixedly mounted on said frame and slidably receiving the latch bolt for movement between an extended locking position and a retracted unlocked position, spring means operatively arranged between said body and latch bolt to bias said latch bolt toward said locking position, said body and latch bolt defining a piston and cylinder means adapted upon the introduction of air therebetween to cause said latch bolt to be urged toward said unlocked position, conduit means for supplying air under pressure to said piston and cylinder means, said conduit means including a solenoid operated three-way valve for controlling the flow of air to and from said piston and cylinder means, circuit means connected to said solenoid for effecting operation thereof, switch means in said circuit, a mortise lock having a key rotatable plug mounted in said frame, an operating lever mounted on said plug and operatively connected to said switch to cause the same to close the circuit through said solenoid upon predetermined rotation of said plug whereby said solenoid operates said three-way valve to supply air under pressure to the cylinder body to move said latch bolt toward the unlocked position, said lever causing the switch to open the circuit through said solenoid upon counterrotation of said plug, whereby said solenoid operates said three-way valve to release air from the cylinder body and enable the spring means to bear said latch bolt toward the locking position, a spool, means rotatably mounting said spool in said frame, cable means connected to said latch bolt and to said spool whereby rotation of said spool will cause movement of said latch bolt toward said unlocked position, and means on said spool for operatively engaging said operating lever as the same is rotated with said key beyond a predetermined degree whereby further rotation of said key and operating lever causes said cable to be wound on said spool and said latch bolt to be moved to said unlocked position.
