Abstract
A wireless access control system may include a remote access wireless communications device and a lock assembly. The lock assembly may include a lock switchable between locked and unlocked positions, a door position sensor, interior and exterior directional antennas, lock wireless communications circuitry coupled to the interior and exterior directional antennas, a touch sensor, and a lock controller. The lock controller may unlock the lock based upon the touch sensor, determine when the door is closed after being opened based upon the door position sensor, and determine whether the remote access wireless device is in an interior or an exterior area based upon directional antennas. The lock controller may also switch the lock to the locked position when the door is closed and when the remote access wireless device is in the interior area, and not switch the lock to the locked position when the door is open.
