An exemplary lockset includes a mortise case, a magnet assembly mounted in the mortise case, and a manual actuator operable to move the magnet assembly between a coupling position in which a first magnet of the magnet assembly is aligned with a reference point and a decoupling position in which the first magnet is misaligned with the reference point. In certain embodiments, the magnet assembly further includes a second magnet having an opposite polarity as the first magnet, and the second magnet is misaligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the coupling position and is aligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the decoupling position.

Dual-latch mechanisms are provided that allow two (or more) latches to be simultaneously released in response to a single input received via an actuator. Also disclosed are multiple-actuator systems with common locking elements that may simultaneously lock and unlock the multiple actuators via an input or inputs provided at a centralized location.

The invention relates to a lock comprising a locking mechanism that has a latch that can be moved between a locking position, which is provided for securing a counter-piece movable relative to the locking mechanism, and an unlocking position provided for releasing the counter-piece, and an actuation element for manually moving the latch into the unlocking position.

A door handle limiter includes a latch component including a latch part, a lock hook, and a chain. The chain has a first end thereof connected to the latch component, and a second end of the chain is connected to the lock hook. The user simply needs to hook the lock hook onto the chain of the door chain lock and then latch the latch component onto the end of the inner door handle. This prevents the door handle from being pushed down.
