A paddle lock has a body, a lever, a latch, a locking bolt, a bolt driving device, and a lock device. The lever is pivotally mounted on the body and has a pushing arm. The latch has a pushed protrusion selectively abutting against and pushed by the pushing arm of the lever. The locking bolt is mounted slidably in the body and has an abutting arm. The abutting arm extends toward the pushing arm to selectively abut the pushing arm. The bolt driving device is mounted in the body and is connected with the locking bolt to push the locking bolt to extend out of the body or to retract the locking bolt into the body. The lock device is mounted on the body and is connected with the bolt driving device.

A paddle lock has a body, a lever, a latch, a locking bolt, and a bolt driving device. The lever is pivotally mounted on the body. The latch is mounted retractably in the body and is connected with the lever. The locking bolt is mounted slidably in the body and has a bolt rod, a retractable head, and a spring. The bolt rod is mounted slidably in the body. The retractable head is connected retractably to an end of the bolt rod and selectively extends out of the body. The spring is connected between the bolt rod and the retractable head. The bolt driving device is mounted in the body and is connected with the bolt rod of the locking bolt to push the locking bolt to extend out of the body or to retract the locking bolt into the body.

A latch assembly comprises an outside housing, a door latch, an external lever handle, a plunger, a resilient member, and a handle cam. The handle cam comprises a cam surface juxtaposed against and in sliding relation with a plunger cam surface. The plunger is maintained in the latched position when the external lever handle is in the retracted position by the resilient member, whereby an entry door cannot be unintentionally shifted from the closed position, and the plunger is displaced from the latched position to the unlatched position when the external lever handle is displaced from the retracted position to the extended position by the cam surface of the handle cam bearing against the plunger cam surface, whereby the entry door is free to be shifted from the closed position to the open position.

Embodiments provide a B-pillarless opposite sliding door in which a hook fastening means is used instead of an upper latch to be installed at an upper end of the B pillarless opposite sliding door. An upper end of a door B-pillar beam, which serves to support a B-pillar, can fastened to a roof part of a vehicle body to ensure a ceiling strength performance when the hook fastening means is applied.

A low profile actuating window lock for casement windows having a longitudinal slot in a sidewall of the casing for the lock, wherein an actuator including a fork component translates within the slot in a direction opposite movement of the handle, the handle pivotable about a restrictor arm that pivots relative to the casing, allowing the handle to rotate from the locked position to the unlocked position with low clearance from the window frame. The pivot points of the handle and restrictor arm configuration allow for an over center linkage that prevents back driving the casement window lock.

A latch assembly comprises an exterior housing, a door latch, a plunger, a resilient member, and an external lever pivotally mounted on an outer face of the exterior housing. The external lever comprises a first leg, a second leg disposed at an angle relative to the first leg, and a pivot mount disposed between the first leg and the second leg. The plunger is maintained in the latched position when the external lever is in a latched position by the resilient member, whereby an entry door cannot be unintentionally shifted from the closed position. The plunger is displaced from the latched position to the unlatched position when the external lever is rotated from the latched position to the unlatched position by the second leg bearing against the plunger, whereby the entry door is free to be shifted from the closed position to the open position.
