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.

A lock system having a redundant entry system is provided. The lock system includes a container having a door with an inner wall and an outer wall defining a wall volume therebetween; a locking bolt including a tip; a housing mounted to the inner wall, the housing for receiving the locking bolt, the locking bolt movable between a blocking position and a non-blocking position; a post mounted on the inner wall; a bolt works having an elongate slot there on, the elongate slot slidingly received by the post and configured to allow the bolt works to move between a locked position and an unlocked position.

An opening and closing device is provided. The opening and closing device includes a housing, a displacement restricting part, an electrical driving module, and an electroless driving module. The displacement restricting part is capable of moving with respect to the housing when the electrical driving module is in an unlocked state. The electrical driving module is capable of restricting the displacement restricting part from moving with respect to the housing when the electrical driving module is in a locked state. The electroless driving module is capable of releasing the electrical driving module's restriction over the moving of the displacement restricting part with respect to the housing via the hand-driven part.

An idling switch structure of a shaft of an electronic lock contains: a holding plate, a shell, an electric drive unit, a switching unit, and a manual rotation unit. The holding plate includes a peripheral fringe, multiple positioning posts, a fixing seat, two locating portions, a column, a receiving area, a limiting rib, an extension, and a bolt seat. The shell includes a covering space, multiple recesses, and a locking orifice. The electric drive unit includes a drive wheel, a motor body, and a transmission wheel having a central orifice and two rotation protrusions. The drive wheel has a central orifice, a tooth portion, and an actuation gear. The motor body has two stands and a worm. The switching unit includes a driven sheet, a slider, a first spring, a second spring, and a driving element. The manual rotation unit includes a lock bolt and a key.

A household electric and mechanical dual-controlled intelligent lock includes a mechanical clutching structure and an intelligent electronic control structure. The mechanical clutching structure includes a locking head, a springback lock tongue, a first round rotary table and a fixed seat, wherein: an end portion of the springback lock tongue extends outside the fixed seat, an arched guide rail which is fitted with the first round rotary table is located on the springback lock tongue. The intelligent electronic control structure includes a PCB (printed circuit board), a motor, a scalable suite and a second round rotary table, wherein: one end of the scalable suite is fixedly connected with the motor, the other end of the scalable suite is fixedly connected with the second round rotary table, an arched guide rail which is fitted with the second round rotary table is located on the other surface of the springback lock tongue.

Disclosed herein is a safety device for attachment at an edge of a door leaf. The safety device comprises a pressure monitor and an electromagnetic lock element. The pressure monitor is configured, in response to a force being applied to the safety device, to issue a signal.

An intelligent lock, overlock, and lock system can be electrically controlled to open and close one or more locks. The lock, lock system, and method may function on a frequency selected to avoid cross talk, which permits numerous locks to function simultaneously on the same central system with little interruption or delay. A lock may be used as an overlock for an existing lock or be a primary lock and may include a pivoting engagement structure that engages a locking mechanism to provide added strength.

The present disclosure relates to an oven including a main body including a cooking chamber, a door rotatably coupled to the main body to open and close the cooking chamber, and a door locking device to lock the door not to be open with respect to the main body, wherein the door locking device includes a cam to be rotatable and including a plurality of first contact parts and a plurality of second contact parts, a lock releasing guide to linearly move to selectively come into contact with the plurality of first contact parts, and a locker to come into contact with the plurality of second contact parts and coupled to a locker holder provided in the door when coming into the plurality of second contact parts. Other various embodiments are possible.

This invention describes an electric drive mechanism (120) for translating a blocking member (126) to secure or release a lock. The lock is configured as a latch lock (100), a slide bolt padlock (200), a U-shackle padlock (300) or a snap padlock (400). The blocking member (126) is supported by two or more steel balls (130) disposed in helical grooves formed on a helical member (124) to provide a self-centering and low friction drive mechanism (120), which allows an electric motor (122) connected to the helical member to be small and of low power. Unobstructed movement of the blocking member (126) is provided by an alignment or detent mechanism (160, 217, 317) or torsion spring in the snap padlock (400). An electronic control board (140) allows electronic operation of the lock via an application in a smartphone. A PCB (121) located near the electric motor provides tamper-proofing.
