A locking apparatus and method for securing a door or window comprising a substantial controllable mechanical locking mechanism that secures the sliding door or window into the receiving channel such that the locking mechanism cannot be disengaged from the receiving structure by a manual force; prevents the door or window from being lifted out of a bottom track by mere manual force; is able to report the door or window status as closed or open and as locked or unlocked to a remote user; is able to be remotely locked and unlocked using an application running on a mobile device or computer, or, alternatively by accessing a web accessible portal from a mobile device, electronic device or computer; and is manually operable by a user in the event of a power outage. A manually operated embodiment is useful for use cases in which no electric power is available.

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 latch arrangement for a sliding wing has a latching member that is movable by magnetic force from first position in which it is at least partially retracted within a latch housing, to a second position in which it extends at least partially out of the housing, to be received in a strike. The strike comprises a magnet or ferromagnetic arrangement to attract the latching member into a receiving and engaging formation of the strike when the sliding wing is located at or adjacent the strike.

The present invention consists of aluminium framework for the manufacture of doors or windows, which is applied in a door or window opening of a building. It comprises at least one fixed frame (1) and fixed or movable panels (4) which have central (6) and reinforcing (5) props, handles (3) (7), anti-pollen/mosquito net (9) winder integrated into a profile (10). It has a locking system (2) of the panels (4), which is integrated in the aluminium profiles of the fixed frame (1); a locking system (8) of the anti-pollen/mosquito net (9) allowing the profile (11) of the net (9) to be attached to the handle (7). The movements of the net (9) and the panels (4) can be performed either manually or automatically, in both cases this movement being facilitated by a slide rule (13) with integrated bearings.

An exemplary lockset includes a mortise case, a magnet assembly mounted in the mortise case, and a manual actuator operable to move the magnet assembly between a coupling position in which a first magnet of the magnet assembly is aligned with a reference point and a decoupling position in which the first magnet is misaligned with the reference point. In certain embodiments, the magnet assembly further includes a second magnet having an opposite polarity as the first magnet, and the second magnet is misaligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the coupling position and is aligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the decoupling position.

Disclosed embodiments include a mounting apparatus for a sliding security barrier that includes unique security features that ensure the sliding security barrier is secure and does not suffer problems that exist with conventional security doors and windows. The sliding security barrier is configured to be implemented using tracks that are common to conventional sliding patio screen door or windows. Additional security features include a unique striker plate, a lift protector at a corner, adjustable top and/or bottom channel caps, an interlock, and a uniquely shaped lock. These features provide greater security at a lower cost because they use an existing sliding door or window sash and channels but provide a secure attachment that inhibits tampering and removal of the sliding screen barrier.
