A door locking mechanism is disclosed including a door locking member in communication with a lock-actuated bolt which selectively allows rotation of a rotatable actuator plate member. The rotating actuator plate member is attached to a rotatable handle and to a plurality of actuator bars which move locking bolts so as to selectively prevent opening of the door. The rotatable actuator plate member enables all of the actuators to be moved from a single location so that a plurality of cams, etc., are not needed to move locking bolts positioned about the perimeter of the door between open and locking positions. In an additional aspect of the invention, horizontally extending actuator bars are adjustably attached to elongate locking bars having a plurality of locking bolts attached thereto, so as to enable assembly of the locking structures of the door locking mechanism without assembly, and to enable interchangeability of parts.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A door locking mechanism for safes having a door with a perimeter and a frame disposed on an interior of the door adjacent the perimeter, and a locking member attached to the door, moveable between locked and unlocked positions, the locking mechanism comprising:a rotatable actuator plate disposable adjacent a locking member such that movement of the locking member between locked and unlock positions selectively prevents and permits rotation of the actuator plate;a plurality of actuation means connected in rotatable attachment to the rotatable actuator plate, at least one of the actuation means extending generally horizontally from the actuator plate and at least one extending generally vertically from the actuator plate, and such that rotation of the actuator plate causes horizontal movement of the horizontally extending actuation means and generally vertical movement of the generally vertically extending actuation means;at least one locking bar and an adjustable attachment means for attaching the locking bar to the at least one horizontal actuation means so as to enable adjustment of horizontal and vertical orientations of the locking bar relative to the horizontal actuation means, the adjustment means comprising at least one slot, and the locking bar having a plurality of locking bolts disposed thereon so as to be extendable through the frame of a door such that movement of the horizontal actuation means causes simultaneous movement of the locking bolts in a similar direction; andwherein the rotatable actuator plate is disposed so as to simultaneously actuate each of the actuation means from a location adjacent the locking member.
