A method including placing a first adhesive on a first surface of a strike plate, wherein the strike plate includes a pocket extending into a second surface of the strike plate opposite the first surface of the strike plate. The method further includes placing a second adhesive on a first surface of a lock module, wherein the lock module includes a bolt operable to extend beyond a second surface of the lock module. The method also includes aligning the pocket with the bolt such that the bolt is operable to extend into the pocket, and with the pocket and the bolt aligned with one another, releasably joining the strike plate and the lock module with a releasable coupler, thereby forming an aligned locking assembly.

A smart box cooler having a computing device is provided. The smart box cooler can obtain authorization data, and determine whether the authorization data authorizes access to a cavity of the smart box cooler. The smart box cooler can activate an electrically operated actuator to control access to the cavity.

A smart box cooler includes a cooler body and a delivery lid coupled to the liner or the cooler body. The delivery lid is adapted to close an opening that extends through the cooler body and the liner into at least one cavity of the cooler body. The smart box cooler can maintain a food safe temperature in the cavity. The cooler body or the delivery lid includes a delivery assembly with a lock mechanism, an electrically operated actuator adapted to prevent the lock mechanism from being unlocked, and a computing device. The computing device can initiate access to the cavity of the cooler body.

Disclosed is a to a latch mechanism that is operatively connected to a handle assembly or similar release device for a drawer, cabinet or other similar item. The latch mechanism is particularly useful for a drawer in a vehicle, where it may be subject to movement or situations where it is not level. The latch mechanism includes a keeper and a pin that is fitted to a bracket allowing sliding movement of the pin. The pin is biased towards an extended position and may selectively be located within the keeper when in the extended position so as to latch the bracket to the keeper. The pin is selectively engaged by an actuator so that the actuator may move the pin from the extended position to a retracted position, but the pin is also able to move from the extended position to the retracted position without effecting the actuator.

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.

A lock defining a rotating axis and for being installed on a door includes a first handle set, a second handle set, a transmission element and a latch mechanism. The first handle set is disposed on a side of the door and includes a first handle and a first tubular element. The second handle set is disposed on another side of the door and includes a second handle, a cylindrical element, a movable element and a second tubular element. The second tubular element is independent from the first tubular element. The transmission element has a first end connected to the first handle set and a second end connected to the movable element. The latch mechanism is disposed between the first handle set and the second handle set and includes a latch tongue driven by the first tubular element or the second tubular element.

A transmission mechanism applied to a lock and for controlling the lock to switch between an unlocked state and a locked state. The lock includes a first handle set including a first cover plate which includes a first fitting portion. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission element and a moving component. The transmission element is connected to the first handle set in a manner that the transmission element is incapable of moving along a rotating axis and has an abutting portion. The moving component is disposed on the transmission element in a manner that the moving component is capable of moving along the rotating axis and includes a first engaging groove, a second engaging groove and a second fitting portion. When the transmission element is operated to rotate, the abutting portion is capable of switching between the first engaging groove and the second engaging groove.

Described herein is a lock actuation assembly for actuating a state change of a lock of a door via a lock actuator extending from a panel of the door, comprising: a motor for driving the actuation; a body having a mounting portion for attaching the lock actuation assembly to the door; a coupler held by the body for coupling a force from the motor to the lock actuator to change the lock's state; a wireless communication module for receiving in, an electromagnetic signal, a first command for changing the state of the lock; a turnable piece on the body for generating a second command for changing the state of the lock; and a controller adapted to control the motor to change the state of the lock based on either one of the first command or the second command.

A lock assembly for a door includes a lock mechanism moveable between an extended position wherein the door is locked and a retracted position wherein the door is unlocked such that the door may be opened and closed. The lock assembly also includes first and second lock cylinders operably connected to the lock mechanism such that actuation thereof causes the lock mechanism to move to the retracted position, the lock cylinders each including a first keyhole. A tamper resistant member is moveable between a protected position in which the keyhole of the second cylinder is inaccessible and an unprotected position in which the keyhole of the second cylinder is accessible, such that a tool is required in order to move the tamper resistant member from the protected position to the unprotected position, the tool adapted to be stored separately from the door.

A lock with an emergency unlocking feature includes a latch bolt, a top rotation member, a restriction plate and a driving member. The driving member is connected to the deadbolt. When the top rotation member is rotated from a close position to an open position while the lock is locked, a restriction member drives the restriction plate to press a resilient unit. The restriction plate is moved to disengage the engaging member on the restriction plate from the second notch of the driving member. The guide slot of the transmission plate pulls the second guide member to move the deadbolt to the unlocked position, and the latch bolt moves to the open position. When in an emergency situation, the user rotates the handle to retract both of the deadbolt and the latch bolt without using a key to unlock the deadbolt to save time.
