A cooler and freezer access control system locks a cooler or freezer when occurrence of an event is detected that requires limiting access to the inside of the cooler or freezer. Examples of such events include the loss of power to the cooler or freezer for a predetermined period of time, the opening of the cooler or freezer door for longer than an allowed time, the loss of functionality of a temperature probe and others. In an embodiment, a service mode is supported wherein the door is left unlocked despite the occurrence of such an event, to allow a stocker or other personnel to leave the cooler or freezer door open while stocking the cooler or freezer with product.

A sliding door latch system and method is disclosed herein. The sliding door latch system is used to prevent movement of a sliding door between a closed position and an open position relative to a fixed door frame. The device may be installed as a secondary safety latch on a sliding door having a primary latch that is located at an elevation within the reach of the child. The device may be installed at an elevation above the reach of the child, but readily within the reach of an adult user. The sliding door latch includes a latch arm located outside the sliding door to simplify installation. The latch arm is user-locatable in a latched position, a momentarily released position, and a held-in-release position.

A booth includes: a booth body; a door that is openable and closable and that includes first and second end portions located at different positions in a widthwise direction of the door, a user-operable portion to be touched by a user to open and close the door being provided in the first end portion; and a door lock that is used for locking the door, the door being locked under control of current supply to the door lock. A portion of the door other than the first end portion is secured to the booth body by the door lock.

Narrow backset auto-latching mortise lock for sliding door is a mortise lock that is fully contained within a 1.5 inch wide casing or housing that includes actuated automatic latching and automatic unlatching mechanism. Narrow backset auto-latching mortise lock for sliding door is a mortise lock that properly fits a narrow backset sliding door with a backset dimension of 1.25 inches. The design of narrow backset auto-latching mortise lock for sliding door has been elongated so that the latch or bolt is moved downwards and positioned below the lever hub. The positioning of the latch or bolt at a location below the lever hub requires special linkage and mechanical components in order to make the mortise lock function properly. This design required all new lock components, including a new latch lever with a dual hub arm, a dual latch arm, and a dual latch arm pin.

A sliding privacy door and lockset system for doors of the types generally known as “barn doors” and/or “pocket doors”, due to these doors being slidably mounted on a rail or rails positioned above a doorway or otherwise in or near a doorway. The present invention includes a lockset comprising a strike plate mounted to a door, and a lockset sub-assembly mounted to a door jamb. The lockset sub-assembly includes an actuating arm connected axially to a rotatable extension of a thumb turn. During operation, the distal end of the actuating arm rotates from an unlocked position to a locked position, that is, the distal end of the actuating arm rests within a slot in the strike plate. The strike plate may include a bump to limit the actuating arm's rotation, and a flush pull handle comprising an opening configured to provide a user's hand(s) with a place to grip.

The present disclosure is drawn to a sliding panel latch system and related methods. The sliding panel latch system can comprise a striker, a sliding panel movable relative to the striker, and a latch rotatably coupled to the panel. The latch can have a striker interface to engage the striker. The striker interface can at least partially define a striker opening to receive the striker. The latch can be rotatable to a latch position to secure the striker in the striker opening and to a receive/release position to receive the striker in the striker opening or release the striker from the striker opening.

A door locking apparatus is provided including a first plate, a second plate, a front assembly, a lock clip, and at least one control. The first plate includes at least one vertical slot. The lock clip is rotatably attached to the front assembly and includes at least one horizontal slot in a first end. The at least one control is mounted to the first plate and includes at least one protrusion. The at least one protrusion projects through the at least on vertical slot and through the at least one horizontal slot. The at least one control moves vertically between a first position and a second position. The lock clip is in an open position when the at least one control is in the first position and a locked position when the at least one control is in the second position.

A frame assembly with sliding panels is described. The frame assembly includes a frame having an upper section opposite of a lower section. The lower section of the frame defines a first channel and a second channel. A first sliding panel includes a first lower edge. A first panel support is removably engaged to the first lower edge. The first panel support includes a first holding member that engages to the first lower edge. The first panel support slides in the first channel. A second sliding panel includes a second lower edge. A second panel support is removably engaged to the second lower edge. The second panel support includes a second holding member that engages to the second lower edge. The second panel support slides in the second channel.
