A latching mechanism (1) for a drawer or door has handle (2) which is pulled towards a user when the latching mechanism is being opened and pushed away from the user when the latching mechanism is being closed. A latch (3) is moveable between an extended orientation and a retracted orientation; an oblique surface (4) on the latch (3) contacts an actuator (5) when handle (2) is pulled towards the user, forcing the latch (3) towards the retracted orientation; biasing means biases latch (3) towards the extended orientation; and link (7) connects handle (2) to the other parts of the latching mechanism. When installed, link (7) is installed over an edge of a drawer or door so that the handle is located on the front side of the door or drawer and the latch, actuator and biasing means are located on the rear side of the door or drawer.

A gate includes a gate barrier and a hinge configured to allow the gate barrier to rotate about a rotation axis and translate along the rotation axis. The gate may include a gate latch coupled to the gate barrier, where the gate latch includes a latch bolt and a latch operator. The latch bolt may be configured to slide between an engaged position and a disengaged position in a first direction (e.g., a horizontal direction). The latch operator may be engaged with the latch bolt and configured to slide between a locking position and an unlocking position in a second, different direction (e.g., an inclined direction).

An intelligent door lock system coupled to a door at a dwelling. a door status device is at the dwelling. The door status device is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the door status device and includes a bolt. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together. A camera is coupled to or part of the intelligent door lock system. The camera is configured to record in response to door lock status.

A door assembly for an animal enclosure includes a door frame and a door each having a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires. The door frame defines an opening for an animal to pass therethrough, and the door is slidably coupled to the door frame such that it moves between an open position and a closed position relative to the door frame to allow egress and ingress through the opening. A catch member is coupled to the door frame. A latch includes a base member, a bolt, and a lever portion. A first vertical wire and a second vertical wire of the door are spaced from one another such that the first vertical wire is at a first end of the door and the second vertical wire is at a second end of the door. In the closed position, the bolt is coupled to the first vertical wire.

An automatic shootbolt system or use with a door is provided. The automatic shootbolt system includes a strike and an automatic shootbolt assembly. The automatic shootbolt assembly includes a frame, a shootbolt slidably carried, an actuation lever slidably carried, and a shootbolt latch that acts between the shootbolt and the actuation lever. Actuation of the actuation lever from an extended state towards a retracted state transitions the shootbolt latch from an engaged position to a released position to release the shootbolt such that the shootbolt can transition from a retracted position to an extended position.

An intelligent door lock system is coupled to a door at a dwelling. A door status device is at the dwelling. The door status device is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the door status device and includes a bolt. Near field communication (NFC) is used to identify a lock device via an RF protocol. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together. A camera is coupled to or part of the intelligent door lock system. The camera is configured to record in response to door lock status.

Locking device for the opening of a door including two opposite members apt to be mounted to a door and to a post, respectively, and provided with housing holes of screws for the engagement with a surface, one of the bodies including a solid body except for a cavity provided on one of the side walls, the other one of the bodies including an outside shell internally provided with a housing cavity of a sliding body, characterised in that a lock block for the movement of the sliding body is furthermore provided, housed within a cavity provided on the top surface of the outer shell as well as dampening and thrust structure of the sliding body.
