Locks for storage containers having closures such as doors, covers or lids are disclosed. The lock is mounted to she closure and is latched in such a manner as to selectively prevent opening or removal of the closure. The latch of the lock can engage a slot in the storage container, a bracket on the storage container, or a strike on the storage container. Alternatively, the latch can engage a mounting bracket on the door or other portion of the door to selectively block movement of a handle for the door. Further, the latch can have a locking device which can selectively block movement of the latch. Movement of the locking device can be selectively controlled by a magnetic key.

A mounting assembly (10) for the electromagnet (12) of an electromagnetic door locking system, the mounting assembly (10) comprising: a main body portion (14) affixable, in use, to a door frame (18), the main body portion (14) comprising at least two channels adapted to receive a corresponding set of tabs associated with the electromagnet (12) and a set of locking screws (30) cooperating with the channels and being adapted, upon tightening, to deform the channels to clamp the tabs to fix the electromagnet (12) relative to the main body portion (14).

A lock assembly is provided which may be used for instance with mobile mounted appliances and cabinets. The lock assembly is provided to inhibit opening of the doors or drawers and which also shifts the lock assembly so that the lock does not inhibit closure of the door or drawer. The lock assembly also provides visual indication of the status of the lock.

An oven that has an improved structure so that the convenience of use and the energy efficiency may be improved includes a casing that has a front panel, a cooking chamber that is provided inside the casing, a door that is rotatably disposed in the casing so as to open and close the cooking chamber, and has a frame, and an individual door that is rotatably provided in the frame so as to open and close an opening provided in the frame.

An apparatus for engaging a locking mechanism having a first body, a second body, and two bolt assemblies. The first body having a longitudinal interior channel and recesses on each end. The second body having an interior channel. The bolt assemblies having first and second bolts, a connection member, and a tongue. The first bolt being insertable into the first body and slidable and rotatable therein. The second bolt being insertable into said second body and slidable therein. Engaging the lock by inserting the first bolt into the interior channel of the first body and the second bolt into the interior channel of the second body. The rotation of the bolt assemblies allows the user to align the second bolts with the channel of the second body. The tongue forms an interference fit with the recesses on the first body to hold the lock tightly in the locked position.

A shower door assembly with translating glass door panels riding in a lower track and supported by an upper center guide with a locking mechanism providing that one glass door is locked in place while the other glass door is allowed to translate. A double bottom slider system and mechanism for a sliding door assembly comprising an inner door panel and an outer door panel slidingly engaged between an upper guide and lower track to allow the doors to translate relative to each other. a locking system located on the top portion of the lower track made up of an inner door gear element attached to a torque loading device with a protruding element in contact with the inner door panel meshed with an outer door gear element with a protruding element in contact with the outer door panel. The inner door gear element loaded in the clockwise direction with the torque device such that when the inner door panel is fully closed, the protruding element on the inner door gear element is locked against the edge of the inner door panel and the protruding element on the outer door gear element is disengaged from the edge of the outer door panel. The outer door gear element loaded in the clockwise direction with the torque device such that when the outer door panel is fully closed, the protruding element on the outer door gear is locked against the edge of the outer door panel and the protruding element on the inner door gear element is disengaged form the edge of the inner door panel.
