An accessory for the security locking of a lock. A dead-boltable external door lock is capable of being locked with the accessory from inside in such a way that the lock cannot be opened with a key or a picklock. The lock includes a lock body, a twist knob, a key cylinder, and a shaped spindle present between the twist knob or a handle and the lock body and in engagement with a lock mechanism. An accessory is between the twist knob or a handle and the lock body and the accessory includes a body and a safety latch propped on the body, which is movable from a security locking release position to a security locking position in which the shaped spindle is locked in a non-rotatable manner against turning effected with a key or a twist knob or a handle.

A hidden-lock door panel for use in a container includes a door panel body, a covering lid, a first lock, and a second lock. The door panel body includes a hidden space. The covering lid is disposed corresponding to the hidden space and slidably connected to the door panel body. The first lock and the second lock are both disposed in the hidden space. The first lock is an electronic lock and is used to control whether the covering lid can be released to slide. The second lock is used to control the door panel body to be unlocked or locked with respect to the container. Accordingly, unknowing persons are prevented from opening or breaking the door lock.

A cowl for an outboard marine propulsion device having an internal combustion engine. The cowl comprises a first cowl portion; a second cowl portion that mates with the first cowl portion to enclose the internal combustion engine; a service door on the second cowl portion, wherein the service door is positionable in an open position and in a closed position; and a carrying handle on the second cowl portion, wherein the carrying handle is accessible when the service door is in the open position and inaccessible when the service door is in the closed position. A plurality of latches are spaced apart around the perimeter. The latches latch the second cowl portion to the first cowl portion. An actuator assembly actuates each of the plurality of latches. The actuator assembly can be actuated by movement of the carrying handle.

An animal-resistant latching system for inhibiting animals from accessing food and food containing refuse within containers. The device is composed of an access panel containing an opening to which is secured at least one latching members, a cam assembly, a cover, and a bracket. The latching members are positioned so as to inhibit access to the container when the member is in the latched position and allow access to the container when the member is in the unlatched position. The cam assembly communicates with the latching members so as to move the members between the latched and unlatched positions. The cover and bracket are dimensioned and positioned on the access panel in a predetermined manner so as allow human hands access to the cam assembly and unlatch the container while simultaneously inhibiting such access by animals.

An alarm for a door is operable to generate an alarm signal when a rotary grip member of the door is rotated to a particular position, such as an unlocked position. The alarm comprises a housing having a strap retainer configured to receive and retain a strap to hold the housing to the rotary grip member. The alarm comprises a tilt switch for switching when the housing is tilted. Control circuitry is interconnected to the tilt switch and to an annunciator and is operable to activate the annunciator dependent on a state of the tilt switch.

A wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus to enable a single-point locking system for securing multiple access points on a cabinet panel. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for a wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus to enable a single-point locking system for securing multiple access points. In accordance with certain embodiments, the wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus is utilized to secure an access panel of an enclosure, such as an electronics cabinet. In accordance with certain preferred embodiments, an electronics cabinet comprises a plurality of quarter-turn cam latches being installed on the access panel and configured to selectively secure the access panel to an opening of the enclosure.

A security box for securing access to shipping containers and tractor trailers is provided. The security box comprises two halves that are attached by a hinge and that can be closed together. When the security box is in the closed position, it has the general shape of a closed box with openings at the sides. The openings are sized so as to accommodate a handle which rotates a lockrod assembly securing a container door. The security box can be locked by rotating a shaft protruding from within the box and then engaging an electromechanical lock. Rotation of the shaft rotates a flange attached to the end of the shaft so that it rotates behind two fixed flanges which block the rotatable flange from moving outward, and hence the box from opening. In this way, the handle is secured within the box and prevented from being rotated away from the container door, which in turn prevents the lockrod assembly from being rotated and the container door from being opened. The electromechanical lock is operated solely by proximity of a device with a digital key, allowing access to the container to be better controlled and logged.

A key cover for an equipment cabinet door handle comprising a hollow cylindrical-shaped body with a circumferential sidewall of a given perimeter. The hollow cylindrical-shaped body includes a top end and a bottom end. The top end has an axial opening therein, forming a top rim and defining sidewall thickness between an inner radius and an outer radius. The inner radius is smaller than the outer radius, the circumferential sidewall has a substantially rectangular-shaped opening formed around the given perimeter, and the substantially rectangular-shaped opening has a first arcuate length. A top portion of the circumferential sidewall at the top end forms a finger protrusion with a fingertip with a second arcuate length into the substantially rectangular-shaped opening. The bottom portion of the circumferential sidewall at the bottom end forms a curb with a third arcuate length in the substantially rectangular opening.
