An insulated door lock assembly including a base member with an aperture for the cylinder of a lock. The base member is configured to be mounted to a door around a hole for the door lock. The inner volume of the base member can be filled with an insulating material. A cover member can be coupled to the base member through a hinge joint. The cover member can be configured to switch between an open state and a closed state. A keyway or a thumb turn of the door lock can be accessible in the open state and the keyway or the thumb turn is covered by the cover member in the closed state. An O-ring can also be provided around a periphery of the base member for sealably engaging the cover member to the base member.

An exterior door handle for a motor vehicle is assigned a functional component, which can be covered by a covering element, the covering element being arranged on a motor vehicle door, in particular on a bearing bracket connected to the motor vehicle door, the covering element having an operating section which is visible to a user from the outside. When the covering element is in the closed state, the functional component is inaccessible to the user, and when the covering element is in an open state, the functional component is accessible to a user. An actuator which is arranged on the motor vehicle door, in particular on the bearing bracket, is provided to move the covering element, and, when the covering element is in the closed state, the operating section can be operated by the user to activate the actuator.

A vehicle assembly includes an interior body panel having an outer surface including an opening portion, and a lid removably mounted to the body panel. The lid has a closed position for covering the opening portion and an opened position. Engagement between the lid and the body panel is adapted to allow the lid to pivot at least partially into the opening portion as the lid is moved from the closed position to the opened position. The lid defines a lid body having an exterior surface. An edge portion of the exterior surface is continuous and without interruption about a periphery of the exterior surface so that the lid body exterior surface is flush with the body panel outer surface about the entire periphery of the lid body exterior surface.

A hidden-lock door panel for use in a container includes a door panel body, a covering lid, a first lock, and a second lock. The door panel body includes a hidden space. The covering lid is disposed corresponding to the hidden space and slidably connected to the door panel body. The first lock and the second lock are both disposed in the hidden space. The first lock is an electronic lock and is used to control whether the covering lid can be released to slide. The second lock is used to control the door panel body to be unlocked or locked with respect to the container. Accordingly, unknowing persons are prevented from opening or breaking the door lock.

A manhole includes a device for safely closing and locking the manhole, which has a cylinder with centering pins that is attached to a slab and is rotatable with an operating key acting on the pins, and further includes an anti-burglary block, which in locked position is positioned inside the cylinder and hides and protects an anti-theft bolt positioned inside a hole, which crosses the entire anti-burglary block and has a larger diameter at the front and the same diameter as the anti-theft bolt in the back, so as to receive the anti-theft bolt in a threaded spot in the inner wall of the cylinder and enable placement of the anti-theft bolt in the body of the anti-burglary block when totally tightened into the threaded spot, wherein the end of the anti-theft bolt, in closed position, is housed in a locking hole on a circular support of the cover.

A lock includes: a plug housing rotatable about a central axis to unlatch a closure when the lock is in an unlocked state, wherein the plug housing defines a plug passage therein along the central axis and an intersecting pin slot through a side wall thereof; a plug rotatable within the plug passage to transition the lock between unlocked and locked states, wherein an inner portion thereof defines a helical groove that extends into the intersection of the plug passage and pin slot; and a stop linearly movable parallel to the central axis between inward and outward positions to place the lock in unlocked and locked states, respectively, wherein a stop pin of the stop extends through the pin slot and into the helical groove to interact therewith such that turning the plug causes the stop to linearly move between the inward and outward positions.

A handle for a vehicle door is provided. The handle includes a fixed part, a grip lever being moveable according to a grip axis between at least an active position in which the rotation of the grip lever activates the opening of the door, and a rest position in which the grip lever does not rotate, an electronic active position, in which the grip lever activates an electronic unlatching of the door. A blocking element is moveable between a blocking position in which the grip lever is inhibited from rotating from the electronic active position to the mechanical active position and an unblocking position in which the grip lever is free to be moved to the mechanical active position. The present disclosure further relates to a corresponding vehicle that includes the handle.

The system includes a digital counter adapted to display a number which is changed in response to an actuation signal. A lock assembly mounted to the cargo door is connected to the counter. The lock assembly has a hollow housing within which a member having a recess adapted to receive the handle is moveable by the handle between an unlocked position, wherein the door may be opened, and a locked position, in which the door is prevented from being opened. A magnetically actuated switch is mounted within the housing. The switch is adapted to generate an actuation signal to the digital counter in response to movement of the member within the housing from its locked position. The signal causes the counter to change the displayed number, indicating that the door may have been opened in transit.
