The door lock includes a hook member mounted to one of the first and second doors, and a locking unit mounted to the other one of the first and second doors to restrain or release the hook member. The refrigerator has an anti-unlocking device, the anti-unlocking device is triggered when the first door hits the main body due to being closed, to prevent the locking unit from releasing the hook member.

Furniture with a concealed compartment is provided. The furniture includes a tabletop and a base. Tracks on sides of the base mate with interior channels of the tabletop to enable the tabletop to be slid to reveal or conceal the compartment. The compartment may include a locking mechanism that prevents access to the compartment. The locking mechanism can be unlocked using a magnet.

An exemplary lock cylinder includes a shell, a plug positioned in the shell, and a locking assembly. The locking assembly is configured to prevent rotation of the plug when no key is inserted, and to permit rotation of the plug upon insertion of any of a plurality of keys having different bitting profiles. The locking assembly may further be configured to prevent key extraction when the plug is in a rotated position.

A securement system for securing one or more calf hutches is provided. The securement system includes latch assemblies and a line. The latch assemblies are configured to be attached to the calf hutches and comprise receiver flanges and latch arms. Each receiver flange includes a vertically-extending plate defining a locking slot with an open end. Each latch arm may be shifted between a closed position in which it blocks the open end of the locking slot and an open position in which it does not block the open end of the locking slot. Each latch arm is biased to the closed position.

Disclosed is a lock device for a waste receiving device including a container and a cover held on the container and a waste receiving device having such a lock device. The lock device includes an upper lock part to be fastened on the cover side and a lower lock part to be fastened on the container side. The upper lock part has an upper lock part housing, a locking mechanism and a first locking element. The lower lock part has a lower lock part housing and a second locking element. The second locking element is pivotable about a swivel axis between a blocking position and a release position. In its blocking position, the second locking element cooperates with the first locking element in such a way that the cover is blocked.
