A latch mechanism includes a hook body having a hook body load bearing plate; a hook mechanism, the hook mechanism having a hook with a threaded shaft, the shaft defining a longitudinal axis with respect to the hook body; an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust an axial position of the hook with respect to the hook body; and a bearing block, the bearing block having a block load bearing plate disposed between the adjustment mechanism and the hook body load bearing plate, the bearing block including a first boss configured for engagement with the adjustment mechanism, a second boss configured for engagement with the hook body plate aperture, an inner diameter hole that allows the hook shaft threads to engage with the adjustment mechanism but provides suitable clearance within the second boss inner diameter to prevent the hook shaft threads from bearing out as required in Aerospace design.

A locking apparatus for a rollup door, comprising a striker member, latch assembly including a latch, a release lever, a trigger, a cam and a solenoid. The latch assembly may also include a limit switch for detecting when the latch assembly is in an unlocked position. The locking apparatus can be electronically unlocked or it can be unlocked manually by a user by actuating the solenoid which causes the latch to release the locked striker member.

A door lock uses a mobile device as an input interface. The door lock includes a latch device mounted to a door, an outer operating device mounted to an outer face of the door, and an inner operating device mounted to an inner face of the door. The outer operating device includes a contact-type connection interface for contact-type connection with the mobile device. After the mobile device is in electrical connection with the outer operating device, an input device of the mobile device is used to input a to-be-identified identification information to the door lock, and the door lock identifies whether the to-be-identified identification information matches authenticated identification information for subsequent unlocking operation or remaining in a locked state.

The invention relates to a lock with an improved locking system, including a lock block attached to a support by means of at least two fastening screws, with a door arranged between the lock block and the support, the lock including grub screws screwed into the support, which project from the support by a length according to the portion of grub screw screwed into the support, such that the length matches a clearance between the door and the support.

This invention discloses a lock that set on a suitcase of being opened or closed without using a zipper, which including an operating component and a locking component that are separately-mounted; the operating component is set on a non-border position of the suitcase, and the locking component is set on the border of the suitcase, wherein the locking component comprises at least one locking unit, the force transfer between the operating component and the locking component is provided by a force transmission mechanism that connected between the operating component and the locking component; the operating component comprises an operation member, and the locking unit comprises a lock head and a lock hook, wherein driving the operation member can drive the lock head or the lock hook to move through the force transmission mechanism, to lock or unlock the lock. This invention also provides a suitcase provided with the lock as described above. This invention set the operating component and the locking component separately, which solves the problem that the lock can only be installed on the border of the suitcase, and only the locking component needs to be installed on the border of the suitcase, while the operating component can be installed at any position of the suitcase other than the border.

A tunable stay device for an aircraft closure has a mounting base that is mountable to the closure or in an area of the aircraft in close proximity to the closure. The mounting base extends, at least in part, along a mounting axis. A holding element is mounted for movement along the mounting axis and configured to effect, at least in part, a hold force. An adjuster is mounted to at least one of the mounting base and the holding element and is configured and arranged to effect a change in position of the holding element with respect to the mounting base along the mounting axis. When the stay device is mounted to the closure or in the area of the aircraft in proximity to the closure, the hold force biases the closure in one of an open orientation and a closed orientation.

A retention bracket configured for use with a latch mechanism including a laterally extending housing. The retention bracket includes a first wall, a second wall, a collar, and a deformable section. The first and second walls are longitudinally offset from one another and are structured to receive the housing therebetween. The collar extends longitudinally outward from one of the walls and defines an opening having an effective diameter. The deformable section has a natural state in which the effective diameter is a first diameter, and a deformed state in which the effective diameter is a second diameter greater than the first diameter.

A lock for a door including a configurable lock function. The lock includes a removable and user accessible actuator which when removed from the lock disables a lock function, and when inserted into the lock enables the lock function. Removal of the actuator places the lock in a disabled condition in which the lock cannot be locked by other means. Insertion of the actuator into the lock places the lock in an enabled condition in which the lock is locked or unlocked by the position of the actuator. The lock is installed without the actuator when the lock is intended to be used only in a passage operation where the door provides access only, but does not restrict access. The lock is installed with the actuator when the lock is intended to be used in a privacy operation where the lock is intended to restrict access to an area.

A push-pull passage door lock comprising at least one handle, at least one lever, at least one rotating block, a slipping block, a latch bolt and a reset device for resetting the latch bolt. The lever, rotating block and slipping block are located inside the housing. The lever and rotating block are hinged to the housing. The rotating block comprises a rotation portion and a touch portion located at the two sides of an articulated shaft of the rotating block. One end of the lever is connected to the handle and the other end is adjacent the rotation portion. One end of the slipping block is connected to the latch bolt and the other end is adjacent the touch portion. The lever rotates the rotation portion of the rotating block, whereby the touch portion of the rotating block pushes up the slipping block and thereby retracts the latch bolt.

An electronic door lock is operable to control access to an access controlled area adjacent the inner side of a door. The door lock includes an outer base, an inner base, a locking mechanism movable between a locked and unlocked position in response to a control signal, and a control circuit disposed within the inner base and operable to generate the control signal in response to the presentation of an input credential. A plurality of different types of credential readers are each selectively attachable and removable from an attachment interface when the outer base is attached to the door to electrically connect the selected one of the plurality of different types of credential readers to the control circuit. The selected credential reader receives data from a user or credential and generates the input credential. A communication module is operable to communicate with a device separate from the electronic door lock.
