  • key 107 serves only as an emergency device in the case of any type of malfunction of the electronic components associated with the first 7 and/or second 58 electronic circuits or if the battery 60 is exhausted.
  • the status of the handle assembly 100, 100', 200 and of the lock is constantly monitored by the three aforesaid magnetic field sensors 71, 72, 58': one (sensor 58') monitors if the first handle 103, i.e., the electromechanical handle, was operated by a user, i.e., was rotated from the resting position; the other two (sensors 71, 72) read alternatively if rod 14 is in the first or second fixed position.
  • first handle 103 is always the handle mounted on surface S1 of door PV, PL facing the interior of a room, a user will always be able to leave such a room, irrespective of the malfunctioning that can occur in the handle assembly. Indeed, the first handle 103 is always mechanically in direct contact with latch 105, 205 which allows opening door PL, PV.
  • a first operating mode (“office” mode) includes employing the handle assembly 100, 100', 200 and the related lock in a door PV, PL for accessing an office.

  • the user can both unlock the lock through smartphone 80 and the related application, and then by operating the first handle 103, and leave directly by operating the first handle 103.
  • the third magnetic field sensor 58' detects the change in status with the handle status signal ISM and the second electronic control circuit 58 is adapted to bring the lock to the unlocked configuration.
  • the user can thus enter the office again, even immediately, from the outside.
  • the lock remains open indefinitely until it is locked again through the application software and smartphone 80. In this case, the user never runs the risk of remaining locked out of the office because the lock will not close automatically.
  • a second operating mode (“hospitality” mode) provides employing the handle assembly 100, 100', 200 and the related lock in a hotel or residential hotel room. In such an operating mode, it is desired for the lock to be always closed or locked.
  • the user can enter the room only by selecting the open configuration (unlocked lock) for the lock by means of the software application and the smartphone 80 or with the emergency key 107.
  • the user can always leave the room by operating the first handle 103 from the inside of the hotel room because such a handle is always capable of operating the latch 105, 205.
  • system 600 reads the movement of the first handle 103 (through sensor 58') and locks lock 101, 201 again without waiting for such a preset time interval to lapse.
  • the handles 103, 102 can be operated only once to open door PV, PL when the lock is unlocked. Once operated, the lock is locked again and it will be necessary to unlock it by means of the application and smartphone 80.
