A locking assembly for a non-pivotable door is provided. The locking assembly comprises a spacer plate defining a spacer plate bolt void and a strike plate defining a strike plate bolt void. The spacer plate and strike plate are to be coupled to one another and further fixedly coupled to the non-pivotable door, such that the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void are aligned. The locking assembly further comprises a locking mechanism and a housing, which is configured to receive and contain the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a latch bolt that is moveable between a retracted position within the housing and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the latch bolt extends outwardly from the housing and into each of the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void, thereby locking the non-pivotable door to the housing.

Disclosed are embodiments of a tapered bolt receiver for a door lock to accommodate misalignment, between a deadbolt mounted to a door, and an opposing jamb. The tapered bolt receiver can be configured to accommodate misalignment for a deadbolt having a non-tapered bolt, such as for an electromechanical smart lock having a battery stored within a battery compartment that is integrated with an enhanced bolt. Also disclosed are embodiments of a deadbolt plate pivot assembly that is pivotably mountable to a corresponding deadbolt assembly to define a plate pivot system, to accommodate a beveled door edge. An illustrative embodiment of the deadbolt plate pivot assembly includes opposing plate that captures a hinge assembly, which can include plastic plate hinges, which serve to locate the deadbolt plate pivot assembly with respect to a corresponding bolt housing, and can provide a spring force and/or constant torque when mounted to a beveled door.

Methods and systems for detecting and correcting insufficient locking behavior, using an electronic lockset. One aspect is a method of deadlatching an electronic lockset, the method comprising detecting motion of a deadbolt from an unlocked position toward a locked position, determining a position of the deadbolt after the motion ceases via a sensor of the electronic lockset, determining, based on the position, whether the deadbolt has moved to the locked position, wherein in the locked position the deadbolt is placed in a deadlatched state, and transmitting an actuation command to the electronic lockset to move the deadbolt into the locked position.

A locking device for a locker is proposed. The locking device for a locker is configured to lock or unlock a locker by using a smartphone instead of a user card, and to perform both the function of a deadbolt and the function of a spring latch using a latch operation lever. The locking device includes a locking unit that has a casing, a deadbolt latch, a latch operation lever, a stopper plate, a driving controller controlling the latch operation lever, a motor driving unit connected to the latch operation lever, and a battery unit, wherein an end portion of the deadbolt latch is locked to the stopper plate such that the deadbolt latch is not moved backward, thereby keeping a locker locked.

A manipulator for controlling a locking function and a maneuvering function of an access member rotatably coupled to a frame is disclosed. The manipulator includes an actuator configured to provide a substantially linear first actuating movement in a first direction and a substantially linear second actuating movement in a second direction, opposite to the first direction; a latch bolt functionally coupled to the actuator, the latch bolt arranged to move to an unlocking position in response to movement of the actuator in the first direction and arranged to move to a locking position in response to movement of the actuator in the second direction; and a transmission mechanism functionally coupled to the actuator, the transmission mechanism configured to transmit the first actuating movement in the first direction provided by the actuator to an opening movement of the access member. An access member, a system and a method are also provided.

A locking device for a lock including a box and a cover, such that the device can be isolated, which box includes therein a motor, a worm screw connected to the shaft of the motor, a locking shaft which is capable of sliding through a hole towards the outside of the box, and an elastic element with two ends, connecting the locking shaft with the worm screw, wherein one end of the elastic element is securely connected to the locking shaft and the other end is inserted between two threads of the worm screw such that, upon activating the motor, the worm screw rotates, moving the elastic element in order to drive the locking shaft, which transitions from being retracted to being extended and viceversa.

A bi-directional electronic lock device includes a lock mechanism and a control unit. The control unit includes a position determining component driven by the lock mechanism to rotate, a sensor configured to generate a specific sensing signal for each of three positions with respect to the position determining component, a direction determining module that actuates the lock mechanism to move from a locked state toward an unlocked state, and that generates a directional signal based on the sensing signals, and a control module that is configured to, in response to receipt of the directional signal, set the lock mechanism, based on the directional signal, to operate in one of a left setting and a right setting.

A vehicle equipment seal device includes a main body portion, a bolt portion, a metal wire connection portion and a lock structure. The main body portion has a connection surface. The bolt portion is inserted into the main body portion. The metal wire connection portion has one end fixed on the connection surface of the main body portion, and the other end provided with the bolt portion. The lock structure is arranged in the main body portion, wherein the lock structure includes a motor and a sensor, and the sensor is used to position a turning position of the motor, thereby determining whether the lock structure locks the bolt portion or unlocks the bolt portion.

A low-voltage, direct current apparatus for controlling a door. The apparatus may comprise a mounting bar configured to be coupled to the door and a latch coupled to the mounting bar. The latch may comprise a locking lever, and an actuator may be configured to move the locking lever between a locked position in which the locking lever prevents movement of the latch to an unlocked position in which the locking lever allows movement of the latch.

An electronic lock with a latch assembly, an interior assembly, and an exterior assembly. The latch assembly includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The assembly includes an internal spring actuating mechanism. The assembly also includes a touch keypad subassembly configured to detect touches to at least a portion of its surface.
