A lock portion of an electronic door lock system includes a first housing and a second housing secured to a backplate of the first housing. The second housing is secured to a first surface of the backplate and only accessible from a second surface of the backplate. One or more wires are secured to the second housing in a service loop and connected to an actuator within the second housing.

The present disclosure provides a door latch assembly including (a) a locking pin movable from an extended position where the locking pin is positioned in an aperture of a driver, to a retracted position where the locking pin is configured to be removed from the aperture of the driver, (b) a solenoid including a solenoid plunger having a first end coupled to the locking pin and a second end coupled to a shaft, (c) a lever arm having a first end engaging the shaft, and (d) a switch including an actuator button in contact with the lever arm, wherein when the solenoid is actuated the solenoid plunger moves to retract the locking pin from the aperture and causes the shaft to displace the lever arm and the actuator button to activate the switch.

One or more computer processors detect a computing device within a proximity to a rollable device. The one or more computer processors determine a location and an orientation of the rollable device relative to the computing device. The one or more computer processors attach the rollable device to the computing device utilizing the set of biometric locks engaged programmatically such that at least one side of the rollable device is locked and hinged to the computing device. The one or more computer processors responsive to the rollable device attached to a side of the computing device, extend a display area of the computing device to the rollable device.

A lock box includes: a chassis; a lower housing solenoid attached to the chassis; a removable lower housing removably connected to the chassis through the lower housing solenoid; and a battery holder configured to removably secure a primary battery within the battery holder, such that the primary battery is configured to move with the removable lower housing, the primary battery being configured to provide electricity to the lower housing solenoid.

An electric strike comprising a housing, keeper, actuator module, and actuator. The module comprises a keeper support bracket coupled with the actuator and configured to move between blocking and unblocking positions, and first and second keeper supports extending from opposite ends of the bracket. When the actuator is in a first position, the bracket is in the blocking position so that the first and second keeper supports are coupled to respective first and second ends of the keeper such that a load placed on the keeper when in a locked position is transferred through the keeper supports to a back housing wall. When the actuator is moved to a second position, the bracket is in the unblocking position so that the first and second keeper supports are decoupled with the respective first and second ends of the keeper to allow the keeper to rotate to an unlocked position.

Securing systems and methods of securing a transport container to an attachment point. In one embodiment, the securing system includes an actuator, an attachment structure, and an electronic controller. The attachment structure is dimensioned to complement the actuator. The electronic controller is operably coupled to the actuator for attaching and releasing the actuator to the attachment structure.

A magnetically-triggered lock mechanism for interengaging two relatively movable components. The lock mechanism includes a bolt mounted within a first component composed of a first material and displaceable between retracted and extended positions to interengage with a second component when the first and second components are in a predetermined position relative to each other and the bolt is extended, and a magnetically-releasable latch mechanism positioned to latch the bolt in a retracted position, the latch mechanism including a first magnet and mounted for movement between a biased latch engaging position and a latch releasing position. A support collar composed of a second material having higher strength than that of the first material is disposed around the bolt between an inner casing and outer casing of the first component and is spaced from the bolt to allow for sliding movement of the bolt through the support collar as the bolt moves between the extended and retracted positions. The support collar absorbs and distributes to the inner and/or outer casing a load generated from the bolt as the bolt moves to the extended position through the support collar. A second magnet is positioned to displace the latch mechanism to the latch releasing position when the first component is in the predetermined position relative to the second component.

An apparatus, a method and a computer program are provided. The apparatus comprises a retainer, for receiving and retaining a hand portable electronic device, that comprises a lock and at least one sensor. The lock is configured to transition the retainer between an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration. In the locked configuration the retainer is arranged to prevent release of a hand portable electronic device retained by the retainer. The sensor is arranged to receive at least one wireless signal emitted by the hand portable electronic device retained by the retainer. The apparatus further comprises processing circuitry configured to control the lock to transition the retainer from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration, based on the at least one wireless signal received by the sensor, in order to enable the hand portable electronic device to be released from the retainer.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage mediums, for a smartlock device that can be integrated in a door at a property. The smartlock device includes a locking mechanism configured to lock the door and to unlock the door. The device includes a radio device and a sensor that determines a first temperature of the smartlock device and a second temperature of a room that is accessible via the door. The radio device is operable to: i) receive parameter signals from the sensor indicating each of the first and second temperatures; ii) transmit data that includes the first and second temperatures to a monitoring system; and iii) receive a command to cause the locking mechanism to unlock the door based on information from the monitoring system. The information includes a determined routing of occupants at the property and is presented on a display of the device.

A latch control device includes a connecting seat divided by two integrally formed walls into a hollow portion and a mounting portion spaced from the hollow portion. A detecting module is disposed between the two walls. A locking member is pivotably mounted between the two walls. A first restraining member is disposed in the mounting area and is configured to lock or unlock the locking member, controlling pivotal movement of the locking member. When the locking member is not pivotable, a latch of a door lock in the hollow portion is restrained in the hollow portion, preventing opening of a door to which the door lock is mounted. When the locking member is pivotable, the locking member can pivot while the door pivots, permitting opening of the door.
