A device allowing engagement of a conventional keyed deadbolt lock tumbler
assembly without use of a key is provided. The device is assembled around
the tumbler assembly and is fitted into a standard:door lock cut-out. The
device includes a rotatable ring extending substantially around the
periphery of the device. At rest the rotatable ring is biased in an
original starting position. Upon overcoming the bias, the rotatable ring
is moved to a second engaging position. Upon release of the rotatable
ring the ring is biased back to the original position, while at the same
time the deadbolt remains engaged. The biasing back of the device
prevents the lock from binding or jamming.
