A shared storage cabinet and a lock thereof are disclosed. The shared storage cabinet includes a cabinet body and a lock installed on the cabinet body. The cabinet body is divided into a plurality of cells by means of a frame thereof. The cabinet lock includes a lock body, a locking piece and a locking and unlocking assembly. The lock body is laterally inserted into and fixed within the frame of the cabinet body. The locking and unlocking assembly is disposed within the lock body. One end of the locking piece is pivotally connected to one side of the lock body, while the other end of the locking piece rotates about the end thereof to achieve locking/unlocking in cooperation with the locking and unlocking assembly of another adjacent cabinet lock on the frame.

A latch assembly is provided that includes a latch arm having a rotational axis and an engagement surface on a distal end of the latch arm a length from the rotational axis. The engagement surface is stowed in a stowed state of the latch arm. The latch arm is configured to receive a pushing force to depress the latch arm a predetermined distance along the rotational axis. The latch assembly also includes a turret assembly having a top end with the latch arm mounted thereon. The turret assembly is configured to, in response to the pushing force being applied to the latch arm, raise and rotate the latch arm about the rotational axis to thereby transition the latch arm from the stowed state to a deployed state in which the engagement surface is exposed.

A lock and lid lock for an appliance are provided. The lock has a base supporting a driving mechanism, a sliding mechanism, a connecting mechanism and a locking mechanism. The driving mechanism includes a driving unit that drives rotation of a screw rod. A sliding block is connected to a gear that is engaged with the screw rod and drives the sliding block to move linearly back and forth with the rotation of the screw rod. One end of the connecting mechanism is connected to the sliding block and the other end is connected to the locking mechanism. This allows linear movement of the sliding block to be converted into rotational movement of the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is rotatably connected to the base and may include a locking portion which is configured to unfold or retract relative to the base along with the rotation of the locking mechanism.

A locking assembly for a non-pivotable door is provided. The locking assembly comprises a spacer plate defining a spacer plate bolt void and a strike plate defining a strike plate bolt void. The spacer plate and strike plate are to be coupled to one another and further fixedly coupled to the non-pivotable door, such that the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void are aligned. The locking assembly further comprises a locking mechanism and a housing, which is configured to receive and contain the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a latch bolt that is moveable between a retracted position within the housing and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the latch bolt extends outwardly from the housing and into each of the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void, thereby locking the non-pivotable door to the housing.

Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.

A locking device for a locker is proposed. The locking device for a locker is configured to lock or unlock a locker by using a smartphone instead of a user card, and to perform both the function of a deadbolt and the function of a spring latch using a latch operation lever. The locking device includes a locking unit that has a casing, a deadbolt latch, a latch operation lever, a stopper plate, a driving controller controlling the latch operation lever, a motor driving unit connected to the latch operation lever, and a battery unit, wherein an end portion of the deadbolt latch is locked to the stopper plate such that the deadbolt latch is not moved backward, thereby keeping a locker locked.
