An apparatus for locking a panel to a strike jamb includes a synchronous displacement mechanism associated with a locking element (108) which is responsive to part of a closing motion of a panel (104) from an open position towards a closed position to initiate a motion of locking element (108) towards the locked position during the closing motion of the panel prior to the panel reaching its closed position. The synchronous displacement mechanism preferably has a “deadlock state” when the locking element is in the locked position which prevents displacement of the locking element towards the unlocked position.

An electronic door lock includes a controller, a first touch sensor, and a lock operator. The first touch sensor detects touch on an exterior an exterior side of a door. The lock operator is selectively operated by the controller to unlock a deadbolt according to the touch detected by the first touch sensor. The electronic door lock is located on an interior side of the door. The first touch sensor may be electrically coupleable to a deadbolt lock for the deadbolt to act as an electrode of the touch sensor. The first touch sensor may detect the touch capacitively.

A lock for a door of the rebated type, comprising a containing box body, suitable for being housed in a cavity of the rebated door; a latch that is movable between an extracted position and a retracted position in the box body; a driving device movable, by means of a control handle, along an opening direction to move the latch from the extracted position to the retracted position. The driving device is movable, by a key-locking-member, along a locking direction opposite to the opening direction, to reach a disengaged position in which the driving device is not engageable by the control handle, thus preventing the driving of the latch; the driving device comprises a locking arrangement shaped for blocking the latch in the extracted position, preventing forced movement thereof from the outside to the retracted position, when the driving device is in the disengaged position unbound from the control handle. The driving device is defined by, a cursor-element that is geometrically configured to enable to tit into the box body an optional bolt. The cursor-element is provided with a protrusion element for driving and locking the optional bolt.

The lock according to the invention is meant for locking cabinets, vaults and different machines. The lock has a lock frame, which comprises a bolt. A lock cylinder has been arranged in connection with the lock frame. The lock frame further comprises a power transmission mechanism between the lock cylinder and the bolt. The power transmission mechanism comprises a transmission lever and a latch. The transmission lever additionally comprises a retaining protrusion. The bolt comprises a locking pin and the lock frame additionally comprises a hole for the locking pin. The lock is arranged to allow movement of the lock cylinder and the power transmission mechanism in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the lock cylinder due to an external hit or drilling of the lock cylinder, whereby the movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis moves the retaining protrusion away from the locking pin. Thus, the end of the locking pin moves into the hole in the frame.

An auto-latching latch assembly is mounted to a follower door of a double door. The latch assembly includes a latch movable between an unlatching position and a latching position and a movable member jointly movable with the latch. A positioning member is jointly pivotable with the movable member. When the latch moves to the unlatching position, the positioning member positions the latch in the unlatching position. When the follower door is closed while a primary door of the double door is closed, an actuation latch presses against and releases the positioning member to move the latch to the latching position, reliably locking the follower door.

A vertical door latch assembly includes a housing and a bolt movably attached to the housing having a catch portion. A drive motor is located within the housing and is configured to selectively move a lock assembly between a locked position preventing movement of the bolt and an unlocked position allowing movement of the bolt. A controller is in electrical communication with the drive motor and is configured to direct the actuator lock assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position.

A controller is in electrical communication with the drive motor and is configured to direct the actuator lock assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position. A force sensor is in electrical communication with the controller configured to measured when a force exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A vertical door latch assembly includes a housing and a bolt movably attached to the housing having a catch portion. A drive motor is located within the housing and is configured to selectively move a lock assembly between a locked position preventing movement of the bolt and an unlocked position allowing movement of the bolt. A battery assembly is removable from the housing when the lock assembly is in first position and fixed to the housing when the lock assembly is in a second position. A controller is in electrical communication with the drive motor and is configured to direct the actuator lock assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position.

A latch control device includes a mounting seat and a locking cap device pivotably mounted to the mounting seat and pivotable relative to the mounting seat between a closure position and a non-closure position. Optionally mounted to the latch control device are a first accessory, a second accessory, a third accessory, a first escutcheon, and a second escutcheon. The latch control device is selectively assembled into a first mode (including a detecting device), a second mode (including the detecting device, the first accessory, and the third accessory), or a third mode (including the detecting device, the first accessory, and the second accessory) for cooperating with a cylindrical latch device, a first box type latch device, or a second box type latch device.
