Disclosed herein is a panelboard guard assembly configured to restrict access to a panelboard having a cover and a door defined therein, the cover having first and second side edges. The panelboard guard assembly includes overlapping members that are, at least in some implementations, mutually coupled to each other. The panelboard guard assembly further includes an adjustment mechanism that extends between and couples the members together, the adjustment mechanism facilitating adjustment of the distance between the outer ends of the members.

A method of opening a door of a pet enclosure includes pushing a tab of a latch toward an interior of the pet enclosure with a first hand so that the door of the pet enclosure is vertically displaceable. The method further includes vertically lifting the door with a second hand so that a horizontal wire rod of the door is traversed in front of the tab. The method further includes rotating the door from a closed position to an opened position.

Disclosed herein is a panelboard guard assembly configured to restrict access to a panelboard having a cover and a door defined therein, the cover having first and second side edges. The panelboard guard assembly includes a first strap, a second strap and an adjusting mechanism. The first strap has a first outer end and a first inner end. The second strap has a second outer end and a second inner end. The adjusting mechanism extends between and couples the first strap and the second strap at the first and second inner ends.

Disclosed is a securing device (1), comprising a front hood (2) and a hood lock (3) with a lock holder (10), for a motor vehicle; the hood lock (3) includes a rotary latch (4) featuring a pre-locking position and a main locking position, and an electric drive (5) for switching the rotary latch (4) from the main locking position into the pre-locking position, the front hood (2) being closed and locked in the main locking position; in the pre-locking position of the rotary latch, the front hood (2) can be manually moved from a locked position of the front hood (2) in which the lock holder (10) engages the rotary latch (4) and the front hood (2) is locked, into an unlocked position of the front hood (2) in which the lock holder (10) is released by the rotary latch (4) and the front hood (2) is unlocked.

A housing having a housing body (100) carries on the outside of one of the side walls (110) a bolt (500) aligned parallel to the lid guide grooves (120) and the lid (200) carries a sleeve (222) fixed to a tab (220) projecting over the upper edge of the corresponding side wall (110) of the housing body (100) and aligned coaxially with the bolt (500). The sleeve (222) engages around the bolt (500) to form an axially and rotationally movable sliding bearing.

A latching mechanism having a camming surface to engage the latching mechanism without human intervention when a door is traversed from an opened position to a closed position is disclosed. Other latching mechanisms are also disclosed. The latching mechanism may also be rotatable to engage the latching mechanism and prevent opening of the door from the closed position.

The present disclosure relates to a window assembly having a ventilation function and a horizontal close-fitting function, and more particularly to a horizontal close-fitting window assembly for implementing crime prevention and security functions by preventing a window from being open even in a ventilated state with the outside in which the window is slightly open and conveniently opening the window. The window assembly having a ventilation function and a horizontal close-fitting function includes a window sash, a window frame in which the window sash is installed to slide, a handle rotatably installed on the window sash, a latch provided on a side surface of the window sash and operatively connected to movement of the handle to move in up and down directions, a latching guide that is provided on the window frame at a relative position facing the latch and by which the latch is or is not latched depending on a position of the latch, and a horizontal movement device provided on at least one of a top surface or a bottom surface of the window sash and operatively connected to the handle to cause horizontal close-fitting or horizontal close-fitting release of the window sash depending on movement of the handle, wherein the latching guide includes a first latching region positioned at an upper part, a second latching region located lower than the first latching region while being spaced apart from the first latching region, and a separation space provided between the first latching region and the second latching region, and a vertical central line of the first latching region and a vertical central line of the second latching region are displaced from each other, and when the latch is located in the first latching region or the second latching region, horizontal close-fitting or horizontal close-fitting release of the window frame is inducted, and when the latch is located in the separation space, the window sash is slidably moveable with respect to the window frame.

A security window applied to a single window is applied to a previously installed single window so as to block an open space of the window and prevent entry by strangers and a person inside from having a falling accident. The security window can be separated from within a room as necessary, and thus movement of an object or emergency escape is facilitated. Meanwhile, the security window cannot be separated from outside the room, and thus intrusion by persons with malicious intent can be prevented from the onset.

A locking device is provided adjacent to a side opening of a container and includes a handle having a driving section and being pivotally turnably mounted to a top of the container; a long bar-shaped locking member having two opposite ends pivotally connected to the top and a bottom of the container to be turnable toward or away from the side opening; and a return spring mounted on the handle. The locking member includes an upper section located adjacent to the driving section. When the handle is pivotally turned from a horizontal to a vertical position relative to the top, the driving section is turned to drive the upper section for the locking member to pivotally turn toward the side opening. A container using the above locking device is disclosed. When the container is lifted at the handle, the locking member is driven to automatically lock the side opening.
