In an exemplary embodiment, a door lock includes a locking latch which is rotatable to and fro between a locking position and an unlocking position; a locking holder that engages the locking latch in a locking position; and a stop that limits the rotational movement of the locking latch; wherein the stop is repositionable and provides different stop positions in different stop receptacles.

A sash lock housing enable screwless installation with respect to an opening in a sash window meeting rail, and includes a front, rear, and top walls. The top wall has a flat bottom surface. The rear wall includes first and second cantilevered ends, and a lip with a flat top surface being separated a small distance from the top wall's flat bottom surface that is configured to cause respective engagement with a top surface and a bottom surface of a top wall of the meeting rail, when the sash lock is inserted into the meeting rail opening. Also, the first and second cantilevered portions respectively engage first and second inside surfaces of a side wall of the meeting rail, to maintain the engagement between the top wall of the meeting rail and each of: the lip and the flat bottom surface of the top wall of the housing.

The present disclosure relates to a fitting for an openable element such as a door, locker, hatch, window, or the like, and an openable element preferably comprising the fitting. The fitting includes a housing arranged at one side of the openable element. A shaft extends from the housing, such that when the fitting is arranged to the openable element, the shaft extends through a hole image of the openable element. An actuation member is arranged on the shaft and rotatable relative to the housing. The fitting further includes a fixing member arranged axially along the shaft between the housing and the actuation member, such that the fixing member is rotatable relative to the housing and the shaft between an inserting position and a first fixing position.

In an example, a system for preventing a flip door from being raised without a guardrail installed is disclosed. The system includes a guardrail having a post, and the post having a post dog. The system also includes a safety latch mechanism configured to be coupled to a fixed structure. The safety latch mechanism includes a body, a socket disposed in the body and configured to receive the post, and a door latch rotatably coupled to the body and biased in a latched position that is configured to retain a flip door in a lowered position. Based on the post being inserted into the socket of the safety latch mechanism, the post dog engages with and rotates the door latch from the latched position to an unlatched position, thereby allowing the flip door to be raised from the lowered position to a raised position.

A forced-entry-resistant sash lock includes a housing, shaft/handle member, cam member, and secondary cam. When the cam member is in the unlocked position, rotating the shaft causes secondary cam rotation initially being independent of the cam member, and subsequently the secondary cam's first contact surface contacts the cam member's first contact surface causing co-rotation of the cam member and engagement of its cantilevered arm's first engagement surface with an interior housing wall's first engagement surface to cause deflection of the arm, and continued shaft rotation returns the cantilevered arm to the undeflected position, whereat forced counter-rotation of the cam member towards the unlocked cam member position is prevented by the contact between the first contact surface of the secondary cam and first contact surface of the cam member and contact between the second engagement surface of the cantilevered arm and the second engagement surface of the interior wall.

A utility vehicle includes a driving section on which an occupant rides, a hood changeable in position between a closed position where the hood blocks a storage space forward of the driving section and an open position where the storage space is exposed, and a locking section entirely made of an elastic material and capable of keeping the hood at the closed position.

A securable pet door is disclosed. The securable pet door may comprise at least one door, at least one knob, one or more windows, at least one frame, and/or at least one hinge. The knob may comprise a latch for secure closing. When the pet door comprises at least one hinge, the hinge(s) may be inserted into at least one hinge recess so that the door may be securely locked via at least one locking mechanism. The different elements of the securable pet door are configured to be oriented in a predetermined, securable, or customizable manner. The door is configured to open from, slide into, revolve within, or move in some other non-limiting equivalent way from or relative to the frame(s).

A locking assembly includes a latch configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position and an adjustment assembly including a first component including an engagement feature and a second component including at least a first cutout defining a first depth and a second cutout defining a second depth shallower than the first depth. The first cutout and the second cutout are configured to receive the engagement feature. The first component is movable relative to the second component between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the engagement feature is engaged with the first cutout such that the latch is laterally spaced from the bath by a first distance. In the second position, the engagement feature is engaged with the second cutout such that the latch is laterally spaced from the bath by a second distance greater than the first distance.

A securable pet door is disclosed. The securable pet door may comprise at least one door, at least one knob, one or more windows, at least one frame, and/or at least one hinge. The knob may comprise a latch for secure closing. When the pet door comprises at least one hinge, the hinge(s) may be inserted into at least one hinge recess so that the door may be securely locked via at least one locking mechanism. The different elements of the securable pet door are configured to be oriented in a predetermined, securable, or customizable manner. The door is configured to open from, slide into, revolve within, or move in some other non-limiting equivalent way from or relative to the frame(s).

Locking mechanisms are designed to retain gates or other passageways in a locked and an unlocked position as a way to pass through a gate in a barrier or boundary, such as a fence, that encloses a space. A rotatable locking arm is attached to the gate while its neighboring fence section has a catch secured to it. When the locking arm is radially rotated to a secured, locked position, it is retained in an enclosed channel of the catch. Any ground heave or movement that shifts the gate with the locking arm relative to the neighboring fence section with the catch will allow the locking arm to move within the enclosed channel while retaining the locking arm in a locked position, which keeps the gate closed and the enclosed space secured.
