A frame includes sliding panels to cover an opening of a cabinet. The panels are mounted to interlocking stiffeners. Each of the interlocking stiffeners includes a base portion that forms a channel to receive a forward leading edge or a rear leading edge of the panels. The interlocking stiffeners share forces between the panels. A latch assembly may also be engaged to the interlocking stiffener attached to the forward leading edge of the panel. The latch assembly includes a protruding or projecting portion, such as a bullnose, that positions the latch assembly with respect to a side frame member. During a closing operation, the protruding portion enters a channel of the side frame member. The protruding portion engages with the channel of the side frame member, which results in proper alignment for the latch assembly.

A closure latch assembly having a latch mechanism is provided. The latch mechanism includes a ratchet and a pawl assembly pivotally supported for movement between a ratchet holding position whereat the pawl assembly is positioned to hold the ratchet in its striker capture position and a ratchet releasing position whereat the pawl assembly is located to permit movement of the ratchet to its striker release position. The pawl assembly has a carrier and a pawl configured for rotation relative to one another about a pawl pin and a roller carried by the carrier. The roller is disposed between the pawl and the ratchet for selective rolling movement therebetween. The roller is disposed into abutment with a closing surface of the ratchet while the pawl assembly is in the ratchet holding position and is spaced from closing surface while the pawl assembly is in the ratchet releasing position.

An exemplary electric strike includes a housing and a keeper pivotally mounted in the housing. The strike also includes a plunger having an extended position and a retracted position, a cage including an aperture, and a locking element movably seated in the aperture. The locking element is engaged with the plunger, and the plunger is structured to urge the locking element radially outward as the plunger moves from an extended position toward a retracted position. The strike also includes a sleeve, a transmission engaged with the sleeve, and a motor drivingly coupled to the transmission. The sleeve is structured to selectively prevent radially outward movement of the locking element and retraction of the plunger. The strike also includes at least one of a lost motion connection and an anti-tamper mechanism.

A door assembly includes a door having opposing first and second surfaces and a hole defined in the door and extending between the first and second surfaces, a cylinder lock mounted to the second surface at the hole, and a cylinder dry lock assembly mounted to the door at the hole adjacent the first surface. The cylinder dry lock assembly including a main body that defines a central orifice, a low-friction member received within the central orifice, and an actuation mechanism extending from the low-friction member and engageable with the cylinder lock. Actuating the cylinder lock rotates the actuation mechanism, and the cylinder dry lock assembly generates a sealed interface at the hole that prevents water from migrating between the first and second surfaces at the hole.

A rotary locked structure of a door lock includes a tubular driving part and connected to a first knob. The driving part includes a restriction portion. An inner tube is received in the driving part and has a positioning portion located corresponding to the restriction portion to restrict rotational movement of the inner tube in the driving part. A restriction unit is formed axially in the inner periphery of the inner tube. A shaft includes a connection portion that includes a positioning unit located corresponding to the restriction unit to restrict rotational movement of the shaft in the inner tube. The driving part, the inner tube and the shaft are pre-assembled in factories. The inner tube and the shaft are not limited to be engaged in only one direction. The spindle and driving column can be directly connected to the inner tube and the shaft without rotating the inner tube and shaft.

A locking system for an enclosure, including a control bracket mounted to a door of the enclosure and configured to slide in a longitudinal direction along a guide rod running through a pin bracket of the control bracket. The control bracket further includes a latching pin to secure the door of the enclosure. A handle mechanism has a push rod that causes the control bracket to slide along the longitudinal direction, also causing the latching pin to move into a position that secures the door.

A rotating cylinder applied to a lock is disclosed. The rotating cylinder is configured to guide a transmission element of the lock and defining a central axis. The rotating cylinder includes an opening, an inner wall, a first guiding structure, a second guiding structure and an engaging groove. The inner wall is communicated with the opening. The first guiding structure is formed on the inner wall and includes a first curved surface. The second guiding structure is formed on the inner wall and opposite to the first guiding structure. The second guiding structure includes a first curved surface. The engaging groove is formed between the first guiding structure and the second guiding structure. The first curved surface of the first guiding structure and the first curved surface of the second guiding structure are closer to the opening than the engaging groove.

An electronic drive for a lock assembly includes a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, and at least one link bar coupled to the motor. The at least one link bar at least partially extends out of the housing. The electronic drive also includes a driven disk coupled to a first end of the at least one link bar and rotatable about a rotational axis. The driven disk is adapted to couple to the lock assembly, and upon rotation, extend and retract at least one locking element. In operation, the motor selectively drives substantially linear movement of the at least one link bar to rotate the driven disk about the rotational axis.

Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.

A vehicle door lock device includes: a remote control device that is provided in the middle of an operation transmitting system between a lock device, which binds a door of a vehicle such that the door becomes not able to move, and a door handle, in which a connection member that absorbs an excessive operation force by being elastically deformed in a direction in which the operation force is transmitted is interposed between a transmitting member that transmits an operation force input to the door handle and an input lever on the remote control device side to which the operation force is input via the transmitting member.
