SURFACE VERTICAL ROD EXIT DEVICE
A door exit device may include an actuator, an upper latch, and a lower latch. The actuator may be operatively coupled to the upper latch by a first drive and to the lower latch by a second drive. Each drive may include a housing which is mountable to the exterior of a door panel and a drive rod slidably supported within the housing. The housing may include a base which is mountable to the door panel and a cover attachable to the base with the drive rod located between the base and the cover. The housing may be configured to extend from the actuator to the latch to conceal the entire length of the rod between the actuator and the latch.
Pet cage door
The present invention discloses a novel pet cage door, including a door frame and a switch door capable of rotating relative to the door frame so as to be opened and closed. A locking apparatus is disposed between the switch door and the door frame, and the locking apparatus includes a housing disposed on the switch door. The present invention has a simple structure and requires low costs.
RETROFIT LATCH ADAPTER
A retrofit latch adapter is configured to replace a pre-existing roller head latch assembly of a pre-existing exit device. The retrofit latch adapter may include a flat latch head that may provide additional security for a door compared with the pre-existing roller head pre-existing latch assembly.
HANDLE WITH FLOOR AND/OR CEILING LOCK
Described is a handle (10) with floor and/or ceiling lock which comprises: a first part (11) and a second part (12) one having an internal cavity (14); a connecting element (15) having two opposite ends (151, 152) to each of which can be fixed one of the parts (11, 12); a closing/opening device (17) comprising a knob element (18), a latch element (19) and a transmission mechanism (20) which connects them.
The second part (12) has a housing seat (22) for a Mortise cylinder unit (100) which has a lever (101) which is rotatable with respect to tan actuation axis (A).
The transmission mechanism (20) comprises a crank element (23) configured in such a way as to transform a rotation of the knob element (23) into a translation of the latch element (19) with respect to the cavity (14).
The crank element (23) faces in the housing seat (22) in such a way that a protrusion (231) of the crank element (23) interferes with a trajectory of rotation of the lever (101) of the Mortise cylinder unit (100) for operating the latch element (19).
PET CAGE DOOR
The present invention discloses a novel pet cage door, including a door frame and a switch door capable of rotating relative to the door frame so as to be opened and closed. A locking apparatus is disposed between the switch door and the door frame, and the locking apparatus includes a housing disposed on the switch door. The present invention has a simple structure and requires low costs.
Pre-mounted lock for a door of a low voltage enclosure
Described herein is a pre-mounted lock assembly for a door of a low and medium voltage electrical cabinet including a containment profile that develops along a main direction defining a seat. A mechanism is arranged in said seat. Said mechanism includes at least a rod and at least one guide element for said rod. Said guide element is rigidly connected to said profile. The pre-mounted lock assembly also includes fixing means for fixing it to said door following the connection of said at least one guide element to said profile, wherein said fixing means are arranged on said profile and/or on said at least one guide element.
Methods of operating a lock
A method of controlling a lock mechanism of an active door includes transiting an access controller of the lock mechanism to an authorized access mode and transitioning the access controller from the authorized access mode to an entry mode. Transitioning the access controller to the authorized access mode is in response to an authorized user being sensed approaching the active door from an exterior side of the active door or in response to input on a remote device. In the authorized access mode, an exterior handle of the active door is decoupled from a main latch of the lock mechanism. Transitioning the access controller to the entry mode is in response to sensed contact with the exterior handle. In the entry mode, the exterior handle is capable of rotating to transition the access controller to an unlocked mode in which the exterior handle is operably coupled to the main latch.

OUTSWING CASEMENT SYSTEM
An outswing casement system incorporating two sets of independent channels, which maximizes the frame (window/door) span, thus enabling large, minimalist outswing casement systems. The first set of channels, external channels, is responsible for the rotation of the vent/leaf or vents/leaves and water drainage. It is designed to position all rotation elements, such as hinges, while simultaneously draining infiltration water. The second set of channels, internal channels, is dedicated to closing the fixed frame and vent between one or two vents, this channel houses all the hardware that allows the system to be closed, such as closing elements. The present invention ensures optimal comfort, safety, and maneuverability of the frame system.
