A deadbolt device for a door is disclosed that has a linkage assembly enclosed within a handle. The linkage assembly extends from a first end to a second end and is moveable from a locked position to an unlocked position. A lock housing extends through the door and includes a guide channel that extends from an interior side of the lock housing to an exterior side of the lock housing. A locking member, at least a portion of which is in the guide channel, is operatively connected to the linkage assembly and is moveable from a locked position to an unlocked position, which correspond to those of the linkage assembly. A biasing mechanism is operatively connected to the locking member and biases the locking member to its locked position. A dogging member is moveably connected to the lock housing such that the dogging member can move from an undogged to a dogged position.

What is claimed is: 1. A deadbolt device for a door comprising: a handle operatively connected to a door; a linkage assembly operatively enclosed within the handle, the linkage assembly extending from a first end to a second end, the linkage assembly being moveable from a locked position at which the second end extends from the handle to an unlocked position at which the second end is substantially retracted within the handle; a lock housing extending through the door and operatively connected to the handle, the lock housing having an interior side and an exterior side, and a guide channel extending from the interior side to the exterior side; a locking member operatively connected to the linkage assembly, at least a portion of the locking member disposed within the guide channel, the locking member being moveable from a locked position to an unlocked position corresponding to the locked and unlocked positions of the linkage assembly; and a biasing mechanism operatively connected to the locking member, the biasing mechanism biasing the locking member to its locked position. 2. The deadbolt device of claim 1, further comprising a dogging member moveably connected to the lock housing such that the dogging member can move from an undogged position to a dogged position, wherein the dogging member maintains the locking member in its unlocked position when the dogging member is in the dogged position. 3. The deadbolt device of claim 2, wherein the dogging member has a first end having a first dogging pin connected thereto and a second end having a second dogging pin connected thereto, wherein at least a portion of the first dogging pin extends from the lock housing when the dogging member is in the dogged position and at least a portion of the second dogging pin extends from the lock housing when the dogging member is in the undogged position. 4. The deadbolt device of claim 3, wherein the first dogging pin, second dogging pin, and dogging member are a unitary structure. 5. The deadbolt device of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the biasing mechanism is located within the guide channel, the deadbolt device further comprising a guide body positioned within the guide channel between the locking member and the biasing mechanism, the guide body operatively engaging the biasing mechanism and the locking member. 6. The deadbolt device of claim 1, further comprising a first actuating mechanism disposed rotatably in the lock housing adjacent the interior side thereof, the first actuator mechanism having a rotatable cam sized and configured to engage a first slot formed in the locking member to move the locking member from its locked position to its unlocked position when the first actuating mechanism is rotated between first and second positions. 7. The deadbolt device of claim 6, further comprising a second actuating mechanism disposed rotatably in the lock housing at the exterior side thereof, the second actuating mechanism having a rotatable cam sized and configured to engage a second slot formed in the locking member to move the locking member from its locked position to its unlocked position when the second actuating mechanism is rotated between first and second positions. 8. The deadbolt device of claim 1, wherein the locking member includes a first end and a second end, wherein the second end of the linkage assembly includes an angled slot, the angled slot having a top end and a bottom end, the first end of the locking member operatively engaging the linkage assembly at the angled slot such that the first end of the locking member is positioned at the top end of the angled slot when the locking member is in its unlocked position and is positioned at the bottom end of the slot when the locking member is in its locked position. 9. The deadbolt device of claim 1, wherein the second end of the linkage assembly is sized and configured to be received in a latching recess adjacent the door when the linkage assembly is in the locked position. 10. The deadbolt device of claim 1, wherein the biasing mechanism is comprised of at least one of a metal spring and an elastic body. 11. The deadbolt device of claim 2, wherein the dogging member includes a projection sized and configured to engage a first slot formed in the locking member to move the locking member from its locked position to its unlocked position as the dogging member is moved from its undogged position to its dogged position. 12. The deadbolt device of claim 1, wherein movement of the locking member is in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the movement of the linkage assembly. 13. The deadbolt device of claim 2, wherein movement of the dogging member is in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to movement of the locking member. 14. The deadbolt device of claim 2, wherein the dogging member comprised a generally C-shaped bar or rod. 15. The deadbolt device of claim 1, wherein the locking member comprises a bar or rod. 16. The deadbolt device of claim 1, wherein movement of the dogging member is in a direction that is substantially parallel to movement of the linkage assembly. 17. The deadbolt device of claim 2, wherein the locking member includes a first slot, and wherein the dogging member includes a projection sized and configured to engage a first slot formed in the locking member to maintain the locking member in its unlocked position when the dogging member is moved from its undogged position to its dogged position.
