A lockout padlock controls access to a hazardous energy source control box. The control box has a box body and a door that closes the box body. The door has an aperture. A staple is connected to the box body and the staple extends through the aperture in the door of the control box. A first lockout hinge part has a first lockout hinge part padlock hole. A second lockout hinge part has a second lockout hinge part padlock hole. The first lockout hinge part and the second lockout hinge part are position together to form a padlock pocket. A first padlock is positioned and locked in the staple. The first padlock is positioned in said padlock pocket and covered by said first lockout hinge part and said second lockout hinge part. A second padlock is positioned in the first lockout hinge part padlock hole and in said second lockout hinge part padlock hole.

A lower lock device includes a base being fixed to a slide door, a first hook and a second hook each including a base end portion being rotatably supported by the base, and a driving link that is rotatably supported by the base, and drives the first hook and the second hook. The first hook and the second hook rotate between an engaged position of sandwiching a lower striker by tip portions being close to each other and a retracted position in which the tip portions are separated from each other. The driving link is displaced between a first position in which the first hook and the second hook are disposed in the engaged position and a second position in which the first hook and the second hook are disposed in the retracted position.

An exemplary trim lock device is configured for use with a trim comprising a lift finger, and generally includes a housing, a blocking member, and a lock actuator. The blocking member includes a projection, and is rotatably mounted to the housing for rotation between a blocking position in which the projection blocks actuating movement of the lift finger and an unblocking position in which the blocking member does not block actuating movement of the lift finger. The lock actuator is operable to rotate the blocking member between the blocking position and the unblocking position.

An animal enclosure includes a kennel body and a door assembly. The door assembly includes a door frame and a door pivotally attached to the door frame. The door frame is secured to the kennel body at an opening. The door is moveable between an open and a closed position. The door includes a first latch having a first latch bolt engaging the door frame at a first latch location. The door also includes a second latch having a second latch bolt engaging the door frame at a second latch location. The door also includes a third latch having a third latch bolt engaging the door frame at a third latch location. In some embodiments, the first latch bolt extends horizontally toward the door frame, and the second and third latch bolts extend substantially vertically from the door toward the door frame in opposite directions.

A motor with a shaft and a shaft axis is disposed within a housing. A lead screw has an axis and is rotatably mounted in the housing. A deadbolt linearly extends from the housing based on rotation of the lead screw. A gear set with a plurality of gears, each having an axis, is disposed in the housing and operably connects the motor and the lead screw. A circuit board is disposed within the housing and has a plurality of portions communicatively connected by a ribbon. Each portion is disposed substantially orthogonal to the motor shaft axis, the lead screw axis, and the plurality of gear axes.

A latch system includes an actuation module having first and second actuation mechanisms. The first actuation mechanism includes a first handle coupled to a locking rod having an end slot and an oppositely disposed rod insert. The second actuation mechanism includes at least one second handle, a conversion block and an outer rod coupled together. The outer rod has an open end and a slot. At least one latch module has a retractable latch. A control cable connects the conversion block and the latch module such that rotation of the conversion block in a first direction retracts the latch. A lock is operably engagable with the end slot to selectively allow and prevent rotation of the inner rod. Selective rotation of the locking rod in the first direction rotates the conversion block. Rotation of the outer rod in the first direction rotates the conversion block without rotating the locking rod.

The disclosure generally relates to a system and method for managing distributed encrypted combination over-locks from a remote location. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention is a distributed management system for that controls access to various locations, such as, for example, self-storage units, hotel rooms, apartment buildings, storage containers, short-term housing rentals, lockers, equipment rooms, vaults, hospitals, airports, government facilities, nuclear power facilities, water treatment facilities, weapon storage facilities, aircraft cockpits, and any other setting that requires restricted, selective, or monitored access that can be remotely controlled.

A wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus to enable a single-point locking system for securing multiple access points on a cabinet panel. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for a wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus to enable a single-point locking system for securing multiple access points. In accordance with certain embodiments, the wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus is utilized to secure an access panel of an enclosure, such as an electronics cabinet. In accordance with certain preferred embodiments, an electronics cabinet comprises a plurality of quarter-turn cam latches being installed on the access panel and configured to selectively secure the access panel to an opening of the enclosure.

The disclosure generally relates to a system and method for managing distributed encrypted combination over-locks from a remote location. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention is a distributed management system for self-storage facilities that allow for vacant units to be secured with over-locks without requiring unlock codes, and which allow the over-locks to be removed by customers without human or manual intervention from the self-storage facility, where an API is used to facilitate communications between a lock management system and a property management system.

An exit device assembly for use in association with a door having a top, a bottom and a generally vertical surface. The exit door assembly includes an exit device configured to be mounted on the surface of the door, the exit device including a manually movable member, a latch mechanism configured to be mounted adjacent one of the top and the bottom of the door, the latch mechanism including a latch movable between a locking position and a non-locking position, and a non-rigid device for causing movement of the latch in response to movement of the manually movable member.
