Cylinder locking device
A cylinder locking device is provided in which an inner cylinder is pivotably inserted into a cylinder body, a protector is disposed opposite a rear end of the inner cylinder along an insertion direction of a mechanical key, the protector enabling the mechanical key to be inserted toward the inner cylinder, and a coil-shaped spring is provided between the protector and the inner cylinder or the cylinder body, wherein the spring is formed so as to have a coil portion that extends in the axial direction of the inner cylinder and a bent portion that is bent from at least one end part of the coil portion toward an interior of the coil portion in a direction along an axis of the inner cylinder. This enables deformation of a coil-shaped spring to be prevented.

BLANK KEY, A LOCK SET WITH A SECURITY MECHANISM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
A lock set comprising a cylinder lock having a stator and a rotatable member rotatable in the stator and having a key slot and at least one side; a security element with protrusions, pivotally connected to the rotatable member; and one or more fitting keys, each having one or more recesses and one or more extensible members. The distances between the protrusions of the security element correspond to locations of the recess(es) and extendible member(s) of the fitting key for engagement therewith, such that using the fitting key will have the security element positioned in a non-obstructing position allowing free rotation of the rotatable member in the stator and using an unfitting key will cause a portion of the security element to protrude from the outer wall of the rotatable member engaging the inner wall of the stator thereby preventing rotation of the rotatable member in the stator.
BLANK KEY, A LOCK SET WITH A SECURITY MECHANISM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME
The present invention provides a key blank and a key set. The key blank includes one or more telescopic members inserted through corresponding one or more channels of the key shank for fitting to release a security mechanism of a lock unit. The lock set has one or more fitting keys and a lock unit including: a stator; a rotor; a first locking mechanism; and an additional security mechanism including one or more wafer units. The key shank has one or more telescopic members each inserted in a channel perforated in the key shank. The wafer unit of the security mechanism is located and configured for engaging an edge of the telescopic member when the fitting key is used, such that each telescopic member will move the respective wafer unit it engages for releasing the additional security mechanism for allowing the rotor to rotate in the stator.

Door assembly for delivery vehicle
A vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a door assembly. The body is supported by the chassis, and defines a driver compartment and a cargo compartment. The driver compartment has a cab opening and the cargo compartment has a cargo opening. The door assembly is coupled to the body and provides selective access into the driver compartment and into the cargo compartment through the cab opening and cargo opening, respectively. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door. The first door is movable between a first position extending across the cab opening and a second position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening. The second door is movable between a third position extending across the cargo opening and a fourth position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening.
Cylinder lock assembly with non-rotating elements
A cylinder lock assembly includes a plug rotatable in a cylinder lock body. The plug includes chambers, each of which has a chamber depth axis. A plurality of thin, planar plug locking elements are received in the chambers. Each plug locking element has a key cut interface probe for interfacing with a key cut formed on a key. Each plug locking element is arranged to move along the chamber depth axis and does not rotate about the chamber depth axis. Each key cut interface probe has a predetermined orientation with respect to the chamber depth axis.
Disc tumbler cylinder lock
A disc tumbler cylinder lock has a lock cylinder base, multiple discs, and multiple gaskets. The lock cylinder base has an accommodating space, a position limiting opening, and an accommodating opening. Each of the discs has a position limiting protrusion and a disc notch. Each of the gaskets has a ring body, a position limiting segment, and a rotation limiting segment. The position limiting segment protrudes outward from an outer annular surface of the ring body along a radial direction. The rotation limiting segment protrudes from the position limiting segment along an axial direction of the lock sleeve. The discs and the gaskets are staggeredly accommodated in the accommodating space. A side surface of the position limiting protrusion abuts a side surface of the position limiting opening. Two sides of the position limiting segment abut two opposite sides of the position limiting opening.
Rekeyable lock cylinder with enhanced torque resistance
A rekeyable lock cylinder with a cylinder body and a plug assembly. The lock cylinder includes a plurality of key followers and a corresponding plurality of racks disposed in the plug assembly. The lock cylinder includes, for example, a locking bar for blocking rotation of the plug assembly with respect to the cylinder body to prevent unlocking of the rekeyable lock cylinder with an unauthorized object. In some embodiments, the locking bar is configured such that torqueing the plug assembly with an unauthorized object applies force to the locking bar without translating such force to the plurality of racks. This type of arrangement enhances torque resistance of the lock cylinder against attempted forced entry.
