A door lock system may include an outer spindle operatively connected to a disc with a larger diameter than a diameter of the outer spindle. The disc may include an opening that slidingly receives a lock spindle along a lock axis configured to engage a lock body. The lock spindle and the spindle opening may have complementary shapes and sizes such that the lock spindle is rotationally coupled to the disc about the center axis. Torque may be transmitted from a handle to the disc and from the disc to the lock spindle via the opening.

A door lock system that adjusts to doors of different thicknesses. The door lock system may include self-adjusting spindles that engage and center a lock body in a door. The spindles may exert equal and opposing forces that center the lock body within the door and align the lock body with a latch.

A handle-locking mechanism for a door comprises a sliding bar, a locking member and a rotatable member all inside a lock body, wherein the rotary motion of the rotatable member drives an upper latch and a lower latch to a locking position and unlocking position; the sliding bar is slidably arranged inside the lock body and one end of the sliding bar abuts against the bolt, and the sliding bar is provided with a first elastic element, and the sliding bar is pushed against the elastic force from the first elastic element when the bolt retracts; the locking member is coupled with the sliding bar, and when the bolt stretches out, the locking member is brought by the sliding bar to a position to block the rotary motion of the rotatable member.

A latch includes a housing that has a first side and a second side. The latch includes a bolt assembly that is positioned at least partially within the housing. The bolt assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position relative to at least one of the first and second sides of the housing. The bolt is biased toward at least one of the extended position and the retracted position, and the bolt is positionable so as to selectively extend from either the first side or the second of the housing in the extended position.

A casement window locking assembly comprises a locking handle, a housing, a locking bar, and a coupling member to transfer movement of the locking handle to the locking bar. The locking handle is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The assembly comprises first and second sensors, the first sensor comprising a first handle component secured to the coupling member and a second handle component mounted within the housing in order to detect the locking handle being in a locked position, the second sensor comprising a first window component mounted in the housing and a second window component being arranged to be mounted on the window sash in order to detect the window sash being located in a closed position. Rotational movement of the handle causes translational movement of the coupling member. Also, methods of providing a window status sensor system.

A locking handle mechanism for windows is provided, the mechanism comprising a main body, a handle, a slider and snap fits. The slider comprises a slot housing part of the handle and side slits housing part of a locking mechanism of the window. The fork is displaced to lock and unlock the window by the rotation of the handle from a first position to a second position. Having two side slits allows for the installation of the mechanism on either side of a window frame. The main body may be installed to a window frame by piercing an appropriate hole and by securing with snap fits to the inside surface of the frame. Methods for installing and uninstalling a locking handle mechanism in a casement are further provided.
