A door assembly includes a door having opposing first and second surfaces and a hole defined in the door and extending between the first and second surfaces, a cylinder lock mounted to the second surface at the hole, and a cylinder dry lock assembly mounted to the door at the hole adjacent the first surface. The cylinder dry lock assembly including a main body that defines a central orifice, a low-friction member received within the central orifice, and an actuation mechanism extending from the low-friction member and engageable with the cylinder lock. Actuating the cylinder lock rotates the actuation mechanism, and the cylinder dry lock assembly generates a sealed interface at the hole that prevents water from migrating between the first and second surfaces at the hole.

An attachment system for a locking system mounted to a closure is provided. A baseplate is fastenable to a mounting surface of the closure, the baseplate including at least one circumferential cutout having an engagement feature, and a locking feature on a surface of the baseplate. A housing has at least one protrusion insertable into the at least one circumferential cutout and is rotatably engageable with the engagement feature to selectively prevent the housing from being withdrawn from the baseplate in a direction normal to the mounting surface. A locking device is disposed inside the housing and is accessible from outside the housing through a cutout defined in at least one of the housing and the baseplate, the locking device operable to rotatably lock and unlock the housing to the baseplate.

A deadbolt control and security system for preventing rotation of a deadbolt manual egress handle of a deadbolt lock is described herein. The system preferably includes a deadbolt interface unit and at least one actuator unit. The deadbolt interface unit has a manual mode (the deadbolt interface unit manual egress handle controlling locking and unlocking the deadbolt lock) and a remote mode (the at least one actuator unit controlling locking and unlocking the deadbolt lock). The deadbolt interface unit includes: a deadbolt interface unit manual egress handle; a gear train having a shaft coordinated with the deadbolt interface unit manual egress handle; a unit-handle coupler that interfaces between the deadbolt manual egress handle and the deadbolt interface unit manual egress handle via the shaft; and a clutch. Preferred systems prevent the deadbolt lock from being unlocked using keys and/or other bypass tools.

A rotary locked structure of a door lock includes a tubular driving part and connected to a first knob. The driving part includes a restriction portion. An inner tube is received in the driving part and has a positioning portion located corresponding to the restriction portion to restrict rotational movement of the inner tube in the driving part. A restriction unit is formed axially in the inner periphery of the inner tube. A shaft includes a connection portion that includes a positioning unit located corresponding to the restriction unit to restrict rotational movement of the shaft in the inner tube. The driving part, the inner tube and the shaft are pre-assembled in factories. The inner tube and the shaft are not limited to be engaged in only one direction. The spindle and driving column can be directly connected to the inner tube and the shaft without rotating the inner tube and shaft.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a locking device is provided including an interchangeable core (IC), a barrel, an anti-rotation plate, a prong driver, a bolt and a backplate. The barrel is coupled to the backplate and includes a hollow interior to receive the IC. The bolt is slidably disposed in a slot of the backplate. The IC includes a key hole. The prong driver is coupled to the IC and the bolt, such that, when a proper key is inserted into the key hole and rotated the bolt can be extended from the slot in a direction away from the locking device or retracted into the slot in a direction toward the interior of the locking device. The anti-rotation plate of the locking device is coupled to the barrel to prevent the locking device from being rotated relative to a structure the locking device is mounted to.

A lock having a rotatable auxiliary positioning structure is adapted to connect with a latch element which includes a drive orifice, and the lock contains: a first locking assembly and a second locking assembly. The first locking assembly includes a transmission unit and a guide seat, the guide seat has at least one guiding extension. The second locking assembly includes a driving element, and a connecting position is defined between the first locking assembly and the second locking assembly in a rotatable direction. At least one of the transmission unit and the driving element is rotatably received in and drives the drive orifice of the latch element, the at least one guiding extension is configured to be connected with the latch element and to guide the first locking assembly to be positioned on the connecting position along the rotatable direction opposite to the latch element.
