The present invention relates to an electromechanical lock assembly (1) comprising a lock body (15), a lock core (17), a lock bolt operating member (19), and an electronic access control device. The electromechanical lock assembly further comprises an annular element (27) which is rotatably and axially displaceably mounted on said lock core (17), a coupling device (25) arranged to communicate with said electronic access control device and, upon the insertion of an appropriate key (65) in a key receptacle (37) of the lock core (17), rotationally lock the annular element (27) to the lock core (17), thereby enabling rotation of the lock core (17) in a first direction and thereby enabling unlocking of a lock (3) with said appropriate key (65), and a blocking arrangement (63) arranged to prevent unauthorized unlocking of said lock (3).

An access door arrangement of an elevator shaft, wherein at least one elevator car is moving, includes a door lock, whereby in connection with the door lock a reset switch of an inspection mode resetting device is located, whereby the door lock has a lock part movable between a lock position and an open position and whereby the reset switch is integrated in said door lock to be operated by the movement of the movable lock part or a related movable part. This solution allows an easy resetting of the inspection mode of the elevator.

A key-operated lock comprising a housing, a core and a set of pin stacks. The housing has a set of driver chambers and a set of inactive master-pin chambers. Each pin stack comprises pin stack elements, which include a driver and a tumbler. The driver is movably mounted in one of the driver chambers. The tumbler assembly is movably mounted in the core for radial movement relative to the bore in the body. Further, the tumbler assemblies including a plurality of releasably engaged parts movable relative to each other upon disengagement to change a dimension of the tumbler assemblies. Additionally, for at least one of the pin stacks, the pin stack elements further comprise one or more master pins.

A barrel lock key configured to unlock a variety of barrel locks requiring various stroke lengths of a barrel lock key to be unlocked is disclosed. The barrel lock key can be actuated between a neutral position, an intermediate position, and an overthrow position. In the neutral position, there are no outside forces acting on the barrel lock key. In an intermediate position, the barrel lock key can be configured to place a barrel lock in an unlocked orientation. In the overthrow position, the barrel lock key is fully actuated and is configured to maintain a barrel lock in an unlocked orientation without excessive forces that act to disengage the barrel lock key from the barrel lock.

The present invention relates to a latch for arrangement on a door and locking the door relative to a door frame is provided. The latch comprises an attachment part configured to be arranged on the door, a latch shaft extending from the attachment part, and a cam arranged on the latch shaft, wherein the latch shaft, when the latch is arranged to the door, is rotatable relative to the door to rotate the cam between an open position in which the door is openable relative to the door frame, and a closed position in which the door is locked to the door frame. The cam can be in an open state or in a locked state, and the axial position of the cam on the latch shaft is adjustable when the cam is in the open state.

A lock assembly includes a plug with a keyway, primary pins aligned with the keyway, a sidebar, secondary pins adjacent the keyway, and at least one supplemental sidebar control element for controlling movement of the sidebar. A key blank has a key blade with a primary top edge to receive primary bittings for controlling the primary pins, a rib to receive secondary bittings for controlling the secondary pins, and at least one shuttle pin. The shuttle pin engages a multi-level ridge within the keyway to move the shuttle pin from a retracted position to an extended position in which an end of the shuttle pin actuates the supplemental sidebar control element.

A lock for securing a door is provided, the lock includes a housing configured to be mounted on a door, a locking member movable between locked and unlocked positions, a core with a keyway and configured to turn relative to the housing to cause the locking member to move between the locked and unlocked positions, at least one optical source configured to emit an electromagnetic radiation signal at an object in the keyway, at least one optical detector configured to detect at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation signal, a memory configured to store at least one authorized key characteristic, a motor configured to control movement of the locking member between locked and unlocked positions, and a processor that determines at least one sensed characteristic of the object in the keyway based at least in part on the electromagnetic radiation signal.

A latch includes a base having a bore extending therethrough defining an axis, a plunger positioned within the bore and rotatable about the axis, a drive shaft positioned adjacent the base and engaged with the plunger such that rotation of the plunger about the axis causes corresponding rotation of the drive shaft about the axis, a bracket positioned adjacent the base and the drive shaft and engaged with the drive shaft such that rotation of the drive shaft about the axis causes movement of the bracket, and a closure element coupled to the bracket such that movement of the bracket causes the closure element to move between a position wherein the closure element allows a structure to move with respect to an adjacent structure and a position in which the closure element prevents the structure from moving with respect to the adjacent structure.

Telecommunications enclosures (10, 110) and related methods are disclosed. In one aspect, the enclosure (10) includes a base (20), a cover (40), a lock assembly (70) for securing the base (20) to the cover (40), and a key (60) for operating the lock assembly (70). In one aspect, a lock clip (80) of the lock assembly (70) enables operation of the lock assembly (70) when the cover (40) is in the closed position. In another aspect, the lock clip (80) disables operation of the lock assembly (70) when the cover (40) is in the open position such that the lock assembly (70) is prevented from being operated out of the open position. In yet another aspect, the key (60) is prevented from being removed from the cover (40) when the key (60) operates the lock assembly (70) out of the locked position.

A key bearing meaningful composite indicia including a plurality of assembleable key bits is described, where correctly selecting the assembleable key bits and properly combining them on the shaft of the key renders said key configured to achieve mechanical actuation of a compatible tumbler lock tract.
