Cylinder assembly with rotating winged latch bolt for sliding door lockset includes a special latch bolt that holds in an extended position and holds in a retracted position which alternates back and forth by pressing the latch bolt with your finger. The special latch bolt rotates ninety degrees by turning the doorknob, door handle, thumb turn, or coin turn and rotates back ninety degrees by turning the doorknob, door handle, thumb turn, or coin turn back. The special latch bolt has a special winged shape that catches within the strike plate when rotated ninety degrees and releases from the strike plate when rotated ninety degrees back. Also there is a special face plate or cylinder face plate with tabs or notches that serve as a two-position mechanical stop to prevent the latch bolt from over rotating beyond ninety degrees in either direction.

A latch assembly is provided where a latch bolt is moveable to open and close a door by unblocking pivotal movement of the latch bolt. Turning a door knob or door handle does not directly result in a corresponding retraction of the latch within a sleeve, but rather unblocks the bolt to freely pivot away from a latched position. In some embodiments, the latch assembly may include a sleeve that allows for a backset to be infinitely adjusted relative to an aperture of the sleeve. In some embodiments, the latch assembly may further include a dead latch to provide additional security against forced entry.

A system may include a door installed within a vehicle. The system may further include an electronically actuated linear actuator latch mechanism (a) installed in or on the door or (b) installed within the vehicle in proximity to the door. The electronically actuated linear actuator latch mechanism may be configured to cause the door to be in a latched state and to cause the door to be in an unlatched state.

A latch and lock assembly includes a lever pivotable between a latched and unlatched position. A first actuator selectively moves a locking tab between a locked and unlocked position. In the locked position, the locking tab blocks pivotable movement of the lever from the latched position to the unlatched position. In the unlocked position, the locking tab allows pivotable movement of the lever from the latched position to the unlatched position. A second actuator selectively rotates a door opening tab between a first and second position when the locking tab is in the unlocked position is included. When the door opening tab is in the first position the lever is in a latched position, and when the door opening tab is rotated from the first position to the second position, the door opening tab abuts the lever and urges the lever from the latched position to the unlatched position.

The invention concerns a locking mechanism provided and adapted to interact with at least one locking element to establish a locking between the locking mechanism and the locking element, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a first locking pawl and a second locking pawl which are rotatable independently of each other about a first rotary axis, wherein the first locking pawl is provided and adapted to interact with a first locking element and wherein the second locking pawl is provided and adapted to interact with a second locking element, wherein a secured locking is present when the first locking element is locked to the first locking pawl and the second locking element is locked to the second locking pawl.
