The present invention relates to a locking mechanism for a magnetic lock and including a locking body assembly. The locking mechanism includes a lock latch and a slide bar switch that move between an active and non-active positions. The lock latch cannot move freely in the active position, but can in the non-active position. The lock latch receives a magnet, and can move freely through magnetic force action. The locking body assembly includes a locking body and a locking plate. The locking body has a housings that form a cavity. When the locking mechanism and lock latch are fixed in the cavity, a hook portion of the lock latch can extend out of or retract into the cavity as the lock latch pivots, thereby engaging or disengaging with the locking plate, and either locking or unlocking the latch. The magnetic lock includes a key and the locking body assembly.

A weather resistant pin lock with an elongated body, defining a longitudinal axis includes a shell housing a rotatable core having a keyway. An elevated pinway projects upwardly from the shell to define a linear array of pin slots containing a set of lock pins. A hood is fastened to the pinway to hold the lock pins in the pin slots and to provide a water resistant barrier. A drainway provides a channel for water to flow outwardly from the interior of the shell, the rotatable core and the keyway within the core, to a drain below the pin lock. At the proximate end, an access door rotates adjacent the keyway at an elevated position, to provide a gap along the bottom edge of the access door.

A dual cam lock apparatus comprising a locking blade, a rotatable lock, a first cam and a second cam. The first cam comprises a first cam body and a first arm extending from the first cam body. The first cam is rotatable by the rotatable lock to move the first arm in and out of contact with the locking blade. The second cam comprises a second cam body with at least one slot therethrough which receives at least one protrusion of the first cam, and a second arm extending from the second cam body and coupled with the locking blade. The slot has an angular span across which the protrusion rotates before further rotation of the protrusion causes rotation of the second cam, whereby rotation of the second cam rotates the second arm to move the locking blade between the locking and release position.

An all-plastic, tumbler-free cam lock includes a cylindrical lock body with a flange extending radially from the distal end to be glued to a surface surrounding a mounting hole. The lock body has a bore extending axially and a central spindle received coaxially in the bore. A key has a cylindrical tubular key body insertable concentrically between the lock body shoulder and the distal end of the spindle. A pair of outer key lugs extend radially outwardly from the tubular key body to pass through the key channels of an interior shoulder of the lock body, thus permitting access only by one key configuration. A third key lug extends radially inwardly from the inner surface of the tubular key body to engage a keyway channel of the spindle.

A door lock system includes a shaft and a cam. The cam is supported on the shaft for rotation with the shaft, and for movement along the shaft throughout a range of door lock release locations. A selector engages the cam to move the cam along the shaft upon rotation of the selector. An actuator lock has a closed condition blocking rotation of the shaft, and has an open condition permitting rotation of the shaft. The actuator lock prevents rotation of the cam at any of the door lock release locations when the actuator lock is in the closed condition.

The invention belongs to the technical field of daily necessities, and particularly relates to an unlocking and locking method of a cabinet lock and a cabinet safety lock. During unlocking, a lock rod is displaced relative to a locking assembly to release the locking of the lock rod, and a first lock rod is rotated to an unlocked position. During locking, the first lock rod is rotated to a locked position and the locking assembly is engaged with the lock rod to lock the second lock rod. The method and the cabinet safety lock have a novel operating mode, have a firm structure, are convenient to use, and can effectively avoid unauthorized operation by children.

The invention relates to a child safety locking mechanism for a cupboard comprising first and second movable doors 3a, 3b and a fixed frame 3, and comprising first and second latching means 1, 31 and a catching means 2, the first and second latching means 1, 31 each comprising a retractable rod 4, 34 removably engageable in a corresponding recess 5a, 5b in the catch means 2 and retractable by a user operable unlocking means 12, 42 against the action of a spring 6, 36 which spring 6, 35 restores the retractable rod 4, 34 to the catch engaged position when the user releases the user operable unlocking means 12, 42; wherein the user operable unlocking means 12, 42 includes secondary locking means 13, 43 which normally prevents the operation of the user operable unlocking means 12, 42 and which must be unlocked before the user operable unlocking means 12, 42 can be operated. The secondary locking means is unlocked by a rotating, sliding or pressing-in action, and corresponding the unlocking means 12, 42 may be released by a rotating, sliding or pressing in action, and that the direction movement required to unlock the secondary locking means 13, 43 is different to the direction of movement required to release the unlocking means 12, 42. The retractable rod 4 includes a first catch engaging end 4a and second opposite operating end 4b which includes a gear rack 9, and the user operable unlocking means 12 includes user engaging surface and is connected by a shaft 11 to gear wheel 10 which engages the gear rack 9 to slidably move the retracting rod 4 when the engaging surface of the user operable unlocking means is rotated by an adult user.
