Deadbolt (of a lock) A lock bolt having no spring action nor bevel, and which is operated by a key or a turn piece. Locking mechanism. Metal bolt which slides from door into frame preventing the door from opening. Security feature for exterior doors.
Deadlock A lock equipped with a deadbolt only.
Deadlocking Latch Bolt A latch bolt incorporating a plunger that is held in a retracted position when a door is closed, thus preventing the bolt from being retracted by end pressure
Dogging Device As used in exit devices, a mechanism that fastens the cross bar in the fully depressed position and retains the latch bolt or bolts in a retracted position, thus permitting free operation of the door from either side.
Door Bolt A manually operated rod or bar attached to a door providing means of locking.
Door Closer Bracket A device whereby a door closer may be installed on the frame rather than directly on the door.
