An exemplary latchbolt assembly includes a latchbolt, a locking sleeve, and a roller engaged between the latchbolt and the locking sleeve. The latchbolt is configured to drive the roller from a first position to a second position as the latchbolt moves from a projected position to a depressed position. The locking sleeve includes a blocking surface and a recessed portion. When the blocking surface is aligned with the roller, the locking sleeve retains the roller in the first position, thereby retaining the latchbolt in the projected position. When the recessed portion is aligned with the roller, the locking sleeve permits movement of the roller from the first position to the second position, thereby enabling depression of the latchbolt.

A shared storage cabinet and a lock thereof are disclosed. The shared storage cabinet includes a cabinet body and a lock installed on the cabinet body. The cabinet body is divided into a plurality of cells by means of a frame thereof. The cabinet lock includes a lock body, a locking piece and a locking and unlocking assembly. The lock body is laterally inserted into and fixed within the frame of the cabinet body. The locking and unlocking assembly is disposed within the lock body. One end of the locking piece is pivotally connected to one side of the lock body, while the other end of the locking piece rotates about the end thereof to achieve locking/unlocking in cooperation with the locking and unlocking assembly of another adjacent cabinet lock on the frame.

An electromechanical lock includes an electromechanical locking mechanism and a control circuit, wherein an associated counter-piece is locked by way of the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism has a latch, an entrainer that is rotatable about an axis of rotation for driving the latch, and an electric motor for driving the entrainer, wherein the latch is moveable between a locking position and an unlocking position, wherein the latch is preloaded in the direction of the locking position. The entrainer is rotatable into a release position, a standby position, and a blocking position and the latch can is driven to perform a movement into the unlocking position by rotating the entrainer into the release position. In the standby position, the latch is released to be urged back against the preload. In the blocking position, the entrainer blocks the latch against a movement in the direction of the unlocking position.

A wireless ultra-low power portable lock may be realized as a lock apparatus including: a locking mechanism having at least locked and unlocked states, the locking mechanism operable to provide physical resistance to being unlocked when in the locked state; an actuator operable to move the locking mechanism from the locked state to the unlocked state in response to a received signal; and a controlling unit configured to control the actuator and to receive one or more signals from one or more devices external to the lock apparatus.

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.

The present invention provides a resistant lock for locking doors, having a locking mechanism that enable locking the door in any direction without any modification or adjustment thereof, and that provide improved security.

A locking mechanism is selectively operable both electronically and mechanically by way of an integrated mechanical lock and motorized lock mechanism. A motorized lock mechanism is incorporated with a mechanical lock to provide for keyless access, while the mechanical lock and key system remains as a back-up. A toggle assembly is selectively positioned either mechanically via a first cam, or electronically via a second cam, both selectively operable independently of each other, without interference from each other, to move the toggle assembly to its unlocked position. A spring biases the toggle assembly to its locked position when the first and second cams are in their locked positions.

A keyless gate lock apparatus and system. The keyless gate lock apparatus and system of the present disclosure may comprise a lock assembly comprising a housing configured to be coupled to a first surface of a gate or a fence, a lock plate configured to be coupled to a second surface of the gate or the fence, and a lock bar comprising an elongated body extending from a first end to a second end. The lock assembly may comprise an electronic lock assembly configured to establish a wireless data transfer interface with a mobile electronic device and selectively actuate at least one locking mechanism to unlock the lock bar from the lock assembly in response to authorizing an access request from the mobile electronic device.

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.

An exemplary electric strike includes a housing and a keeper pivotally mounted in the housing. The strike also includes a plunger having an extended position and a retracted position, a cage including an aperture, and a locking element movably seated in the aperture. The locking element is engaged with the plunger, and the plunger is structured to urge the locking element radially outward as the plunger moves from an extended position toward a retracted position. The strike also includes a sleeve, a transmission engaged with the sleeve, and a motor drivingly coupled to the transmission. The sleeve is structured to selectively prevent radially outward movement of the locking element and retraction of the plunger. The strike also includes at least one of a lost motion connection and an anti-tamper mechanism.
