A gear lock mechanism for use with a door or window adapted to lift and slide. The gear lock mechanism includes a gear channel, an adjustable lock box assembly configured for removably positioning in the gear channel and at least two roller carriages. Each of the at least two roller carriages has a plurality of wheels for moving the door or window to an open and closed position. A backset adapter may be removably connected to the gear lock mechanism.

A low-profile handle assembly adapted for use in a hatch cover of a storage compartment of a vehicle, the handle assembly including: a recessed housing including a top edge defining an opening; and a handle coupled to the recessed housing and disposed conformally within substantially the entirety of the opening defined by the top edge of the recessed housing; wherein the handle is adapted to pivot with respect to the recessed housing about a first pivot axis disposed at an intermediate longitudinal location along the recessed housing and the handle and about a second pivot axis disposed at an end longitudinal location along the recessed housing and the handle. The first pivot axis is formed by a translatable, extensible link assembly coupling the handle to the recessed housing.

An adjustable cabinet handle provides a convenient means to replace or update an existing cabinet door handle. The adjustable cabinet handle includes a central handle body having mounting portions affixed to each opposing end. The center-to-center distance between the mounting portions is adjustable, thereby allowing an installer to utilize the existing mounting holes in the cabinet door to mount the new cabinet handle.

Latch assemblies are provided with a paddle lever having an outwardly extending actuator flange and a rotary actuator plate which includes a fixed actuator pin extending outwardly from the actuator plate and adapted to being operatively engaged with the actuator flange of the paddle lever when manually moved into the unlatched condition thereof. At least one pair of arcuate spirally patterned and circumferentially separated cam slots are defined in the rotary actuator plate such that a latch pin associated with a latch bolt is operatively received within a selected one of the cam slots. Movement of the paddle lever from the latched condition into the unlatched condition thereof responsively engages the actuator flange with the actuator pin thereby causing rotation of the actuator plate about a rotary axis thereof and movement of the latch pin within the selected one of the cam slots whereby the latch pin is retracted to unlatch a moveable component from a fixed component.

A latch system that includes a paddle button assembly having a button that is movable between home and actuation positions, a latch assembly that includes a striker assembly with a striker and a hook assembly, and a cable that extends between the paddle button and latch assemblies. The hook assembly includes a hook, a pivotal trigger arm, and a manual override switch that is movable between first and second positions when the trigger arm is moved from an engaged position to a disengaged position. Movement of the button from the home position to the actuation position pushes or pulls the cable, thereby pivoting the trigger arm from the engaged to the disengaged position and disengaging the hook from the striker. Pivotal movement of the trigger arm from the engaged to the disengaged position results in linear movement of the manual override switch from the first to the second position.

A swivel lock assembly with electronic and manual actuating means to unlock a handle thereby permitting access to the interior of the cabinet wherein the manual actuator can override the electronic actuator and vice versa. When in a locked position, the handle rests within lock housing such that the handle engages a blocker mounted within the housing. To unlock the handle, the blocker is manipulated by electronic or manual actuation such that the handle is no longer constrained and can be swung away from the housing about a handle pivot.
