A stand-up gun safe comprises a substantially vertical, but moderately tilted, spine that supports one or more hinges, which in turn support two shell components that rotate relative to the spine and swivel relative to each other. In a closed configuration, the respective edges of the two shell components abut each other, creating a secure seam. In an open configuration, the two shell components are separated from each other as they swivel and rotate away from each other on the hinges secured to the spine. A locking mechanism keeps the two shell components in a closed state. Because the spine is tilted, and the two shells are located on the top of the spine, when the lock is released gravity forces the two shells apart from each other, thereby resulting in a gravity-powered opening.

A cabinet assembly includes a cabinet having a cabinet body and a door assembly pivotably coupled to the cabinet body. The door assembly includes a door body having an outer panel, a first and second panel, and an inner panel that define an interior door cavity. The inner panel includes a fixed panel and a snap-in cover panel. The cabinet assembly includes a locking assembly at least partially contained within the interior door cavity and having a first lock rod, a latch and a locking mechanism each coupled to the first lock rod. The locking mechanism configured to selectively lock and unlock the door assembly to the cabinet body when the door assembly is in a closed position. The latch is configured to engage the flange when the locking mechanism is in the locked position to prevent movement of the door assembly from the closed to open position.

A lock knob attachment includes an attachment portion configured to be attached to a lock bar that is configured to lock a door by sliding in a first direction, and a main body portion configured to be coupled to the attachment portion and configured to extend from the attachment portion to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. When a direction perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction is defined as a third direction, a length of the main body portion in a direction along the third direction is greater than a length of the attachment portion in a direction along the third direction.

An improved door barricade system for use during an emergency situation, having a pivoting locking arm which drops into a floor hole to lock a barricade in place using a single motion egress system to unlock and open a door simultaneously.

A locking device for a window or a door, wherein the window or the door has a sash slidable in a horizontal direction within a frame. When a user turns on a switch to control a block to move from the first position to the second position, the block protrudes out of a vertical surface of the sash, thereby driving a linkage member to disengage from the frame. At this time, the user could hold and push the block in the horizontal direction to move the sash between a third position and a fourth position. When the sash is pushed back to the third position, the block could be controlled to move back to the first position, namely back to a mounting groove, thereby moving the linkage member to a position where the linkage member is engaged with the frame. A method of operating thereof is provided as well.

A bolt module is disclosed. The bolt module comprises: a bolt moveable between a thrown position and a retracted position; an anti-thrust member moveable between a release position in which the bolt can be retracted and a plurality of blocking positions obstructing driving back of the bolt under action of an external force on the bolt and, a first rotor assembly capable of accepting a drive element, the first rotor assembly arranged to drive the bolt and to move the anti-thrust member between the plurality of blocking positions and the release position. Each of the plurality of blocking positions may respectively limit to different extents the driving back of the bolt under action of an external force on the bolt. There is also disclosed a leaf or door comprising the bolt module, wherein the bolt module is mounted on the leaf or door for securing the leaf or door.

A latch assembly for a door includes automatically deployable deadbolt. When the door is closed and the latch engages a strike plate, the deadbolt automatically extends into a corresponding opening in a door jamb to secure the door.

A rear panel door for an enclosure box (e.g., of a network or computing module) is attached to the enclosure module without the use of conventional hinges, instead using pins and hooks to hold the panel door onto the enclosure module. Lower hooks provide rotation for opening and closing the panel door, as well as for securing the panel door to the enclosure module while the panel door is in the open position. Upper hooks provide a latching feature to secure the panel door to the enclosure module when the panel door is in the closed position. The door can be opened directly from the rear side of the enclosure module (e.g., using integral finger holes or slots formed in the panel door and/or enclosure module) or by applying an interior pressure from within the enclosure module.

A valve box lock for preventing unauthorized access to a shut off valve including a security bolt extending through a hole in a valve box cover and received into a threaded hole in a cam piece mounted to the undersurface of the cover, the cam piece is moved up and down by rotation of the security bolt in either direction. The cam piece engages a pair of locking plates which are moved radially out into engagement with an inner surface of the valve box to prevent removal of the cover when the security bolt is rotated in one direction, or are retracted radially to release the cover so as to be able to be removed. A automatic lubricating arrangement is associated with the security bolt to insure that it is able to be turned by excluding any.

A window/door securing device for securing a leaf, in particular an outwardly opening leaf, of a window or door in a closed position in which the leaf contacts a frame of the window or door comprises a base body and a counter-piece that is selectively latchable to the base body so that on a fastening of the base body to the frame and of the counter-piece to the leaf, the leaf can be secured in the closed position by latching the counter-piece to the base body. The base body has two installation surfaces so that one of the installation surfaces of the base body can be selectively placed on and fastened to the frame. In this respect, two installation surfaces are aligned perpendicular to one another.
