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.

An adapter configured to convert a rotary motion of a drive shaft for a door lock actuating mechanism into a translational motion for actuating a door latch. The adapter includes a housing with a compartment and a first lever inside the compartment, enables retrofitting of US-style doors with a European style door handle by providing a first bearing that rotatably supports the first lever relative to the housing, wherein the first bearing has a first axis of rotation, wherein the housing has a channel, the channel has a first opening facing the lever and a second opening facing away from the lever, wherein a first channel axis extends through the centers of the first and second openings. The first lever has a hole, configured for receiving the drive shaft, wherein the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft correlates with the first axis of rotation. The first lever further has first coupling means for providing a torque proof coupling with the drive shaft. A second bearing pivotably attaches the lever to a connecting rod, where-in the second bearing has a second axis of rotation, wherein the connecting rod has a first connecting element at the end of the connecting rod opposite to the lever. The first connecting element is moveably supported inside the first channel, wherein the channel walls limit a translation of the first connecting element in directions perpendicular to the first channel axis and enable a translation along the first channel axis.

The invention relates to a lock module. The aim of the invention is to provide a lock module which can contribute to a reduction in the complexity of assembly. In order to achieve said aim, the lock module comprises a plurality of components, that is to say at least two components, which are selected from the following: a lock having a locking mechanism consisting of a pawl and a rotary latch, in particular a servolock; a drive, in particular an electric drive for the lock, particularly preferably for the servolock; an actuating lever system; a locking lever system; and a handle module having an opening handle, in particular an outer opening handle. The lock includes at least one drive which is movably mounted within the lock module. The drive can therefore be moved relative to the other one or more components of the lock module.

The present invention relates to a device (10) for actuating a mobile part (21) of a motor vehicle (20) particularly a door, a hatch flap or such like, comprising a handle element (30),

characterized in that

the handle element (30) is at least partially configured from a composite material (40) which comprises a plastic material with a water absorption of less than 1% and a fibre material.

Described is a strike plate assembly for installing in a door frame and methods thereof. The strike plate assembly may include a first member and a second member. When installed, the first member may be attached to a first door fame surface via a first attachment member and the second member may be attached to a second door frame surface via a second attachment member such that the strike plate assembly may be easily movable along the door frame.

A method of installing a receiving member for a latch assembly or strike assembly in a door or jamb. The receiving member including a base plate, a wall around the perimeter of the base plate, the wall extending substantially perpendicular to the base plate, and a flange extending outwardly from the perimeter of the wall distal the base plate. The base plate has an aperture therein configured to allow a latch to pass therethrough.

An actuating member (14), in particular a handle element, an interior door handle arrangement of a vehicle, wherein the actuating member (14) includes a carrier substrate (20) preferably made of plastic and a decorative layer (21) covering the surface of the carrier substrate (20). The decorative layer (21) includes a visible area (22) that in particular in the intended installed state, and in particular in the non-actuated state of the actuating member (14) forms a visible side of the actuating member (14), at least one gate region (2) in particular formed in a gate lip or gate tab (4), and at least one edge region or arcuate region (25, 26) by which the gate region (2) is preferably continuously connected to the visible area (22) of the decorative layer (21).

A vehicular door lock device includes: a housing; an electrical component that is arranged on the housing; a terminal that is electrically connected to the electrical component and made of a conductive thin plate including a connecting portion configured to connect adjacent conductive portions; and an electrical circuit related to the electrical component, the electrical circuit being formed by dividing the conductive portions from each other by shearing off the connecting portion, wherein the housing includes engagement grooves that are opened at right angles with respect to mounting portions on which the conductive portions of the terminal are mounted, the terminal includes the conductive portions and pins that are arranged at end portions of the conductive portions, bent at right angles, and configured to engage with the engagement grooves, and the pins are formed by folded portions that are obtained by folding end portions of the terminal at 180 degrees.
