A lock kit for a fenestration assembly includes a panel stop. The fenestration assembly includes a first panel and a second panel, at least one of the first and second panels being slideable relative the other of the first and second panels. The panel stop is configured to pivotably mount within a recess of a frame member of the first panel and pivot between a first stop position configured to maintain the first and second panels in a fully closed position, a second stop position configured to limit sliding of the first and second panels beyond a preset partially-open position, and a third position substantially within the recess, the third position being configured to not restrict a range of motion of the first and second panels.

A door locking apparatus and method adapted to allow a person inside an enclosable space to quickly close a door, denying entry into the enclosable space such as a room or building, and enabling such door to be quickly locked from within without any tools or keys and in a one-step motion, such that an unwanted intruder is denied access. The invention comprises a locking post that is received by a receiving structure such a floor or door frame. The locking post of the invention may be of substantial cross section such that unaided forceful entry is prevented. The latch of the invention may be manually operated by the foot or hand of the user. The door locking device is able to be locked or unlocked by a user from within an enclosable space, but can only be unlocked from outside the enclosable space by a key or code.

The present gate includes a barrier frame and a gate in the barrier frame. The gate is opened by inserting a foot into a foot opening in the gate, which action compresses springs disposed about pivot pins between the gate and the barrier frame and draws an extended latch downwardly and out of a latch receiver that is bottomless, which action unlatches and frees the gate from the barrier frame such that the gate can be swung open. Downward travel of the gate is minimized until a foot pushes a pivoting stop out of the way.

Aspects of the disclosures allow for a touchless or hands-free closing, opening, and holding (in a closed state) of a door system, including, but not limited to doors for stalls in public restrooms. Embodiments of the door opening system may include touchless mechanisms and methods that utilize various mechanical, electromechanical, and/or electronic systems and components. Aspects of the disclosures also allow for occupancy indication for a door system, including, but not limited to doors for stalls in public restrooms. Embodiments of the occupancy indication system may include an occupancy indicator that may be pushed away from a door panel to indicate whether the bathroom stall is occupied or not occupied.

A foot-actuated door latch apparatus having a mounting bracket attached to the face of the door near the base and proximate the door jamb. The apparatus has an elongated, horizontal slide track formed in the mounting bracket, and a matching slide bolt nested in the slide track, the slide bolt and said slide track configured for the slide bolt to travel horizontally in the slide track between a first position and a second position. The slide bolt extending from the mounting bracket and engaging the jamb detent when the door is substantially closed and the slide bolt is positioned in the first position. The slide bolt being disengaged from the jamb detent when the slide bolt is positioned in said second position. The actuation portion urging the slide bolt between the first and second positions.

A door lock includes a base and a lock bar moveably coupled to the base. The base includes an angled top wall and a bottom wall, and has at least one channel defined therein. The lock bar includes at least one rod having a first end coupled to the lock bar and a second end that extends into the at least one channel. The lock bar further includes a top wall and an angled bottom wall that is oriented at substantially the same angle as the base top wall such that the base top wall and lock bar bottom wall are substantially parallel to one another. The lock bar is moveable relative to the base from a first position to a second, engaged position, in which the second end of the at least one rod protrudes from the base bottom wall.

A system for opening a latch on a barrier comprises an activator configured for receiving user-input, which is arranged at a different height on the barrier than the latch, and a striker configured for selectively engaging the latch responsive to the activator, so as to open the latch. The activator and striker are distinct, linearly displaceable members which are distinct from the latch and interact by camming engagement.
