A compression latch includes a cylindrical housing (1). A locking shaft (2) is rotatably and axially movable in the housing. The locking shaft includes an axial free end (14) that engages a locking element (12). A cylindrical sleeve (3) engages an axial end of the locking shaft opposed of the free end. The sleeve includes an axially tapered annular sleeve slot (19) in which a shaft engagement pin (7) is engaged to cause axial movement of the locking shaft with rotational movement sleeve until the pin engages a slot end. After pin engagement with the slot end, further rotation of the sleeve causes rotation of the locking shaft. A cylindrical securing element (4) is rotatably engaged with and is axially movable relative to the sleeve. The securing element includes a circumferentially extending guiding recess (17) and a transversely extending latching recess (18). A securing element engaging pin (9) is engageable with the latching recess to prevent rotational movement of the securing element and the sleeve until the securing element is moved axially inwardly to disengage the pin and the latching recess.

A locking bracket assembly prevents unauthorized opening of an irrigation timer box of the type having a cam lock mounted to a hinged cover. The locking bracket assembly includes a lower mounting bracket, locking hardware for attaching the lower mounting bracket to an outer surface of the timer box, and a vertical extension bracket for vertically adjustable attachment to the lower mounting bracket. An upper length of the vertical extension bracket extends at an acute angle from a lower length that is configured for parallel alignment with both the lower mounting bracket and a sidewall of the timer box. When the cover of the timer box is closed, the acute angle allows the upper length of the vertical extension bracket to pass into the timer box and emerge through a slot cut in the cover, and the cam lock can then be rotated to engage a slot formed in part of the upper length of the vertical extension bracket that remains within the timer box. An arresting tab and guide slot prevent misalignment of the brackets and allow height adjustment of the assembly to accommodate various timer box sizes.

The invention relates to an improved locking device for the closure of doors on cabinets, of boxes or compartments, which offers high resistance to unauthorized attack and, in particular, can take up high torques. For this purpose, use is made of a coupling arrangement having a manually or electronically movable actuating member, a driver (40), which interacts with the actuating member, and a blocking member (50). The blocking member (50) has the form of a cylinder, the cylinder axis of which runs parallel to the rotor axis (19). The blocking member (50) in its blocking position engages in a depression (17) on the outer side of the rotor (10) or in a depression (22) on the inner side of the wall (21) of the stator (20) and is held in this blocking position by spring force.

A fastening device for axially fastening a rotatably mounted threaded pin to a closing element, in particular a door, having a fastening element, which can be screwed onto the threaded pin, and having a backward-rotation prevention means for securing the screwed-on fastening element, wherein the backward-rotation prevention means has a sealing region for sealing the threaded pin with respect to the closing element. The disclosure also describes a closure actuator and a closing element incorporating the fastening device.

A panel-mounted latch module includes a cable extending from a housing of the latch module to deliver either power or signals either to or from the latch module. A rotatable member is rotatably connected to the housing. A pawl is mounted to the rotatable member and is moveable between a locked position to prevent access to the secured area and an unlocked position to permit access to the secured area. A sleeve is fixed to the housing and at least partially surrounds the rotatable member, such that the rotatable member rotates with respect to the sleeve. A fastener is configured to be mounted to the sleeve for attaching the latch module to the panel. A washer is positioned between the fastener and the panel. The washer has a channel through which the cable passes so as to either limit or prevent the fastener from compressing the cable.

A system for locking a position of an operable sash in a window frame has a motor, a rotating element connected to the motor, and a sweep cam. The sweep cam is configured to rotatably engage a keeper disposed on a sash disposed opposite the operable sash. A spur gear operatively connects the rotating element to the sweep cam.

A tamper-resistant sash window lock includes a housing, a shaft, a cam, and a lever member. An interior surface of the housing wall that defines a cavity. A portion of the interior surface of the housing wall is curved about a hole in the housing, with a distal end of the wall portion formed into a lock surface. The shaft is rotatably mounted in the hole, and a hub of the cam is rotatably mounted on the shaft. The cam has a cantilevered arm with a lock surface and an engagement surface. The lever member is fixedly secured to the shaft, for a first side thereof to engage and drive the cam hub in a first rotational direction into a lock position when the shaft is actuated in the first rotational direction, so the lock surface of the cantilevered arm engages the lock surface of the housing preventing forced entry.

A securable pet door is disclosed. The securable pet door may comprise at least one door, at least one knob, one or more windows, at least one frame, and/or at least one hinge. The knob comprises a latch for secure closing. When the pet door comprises at least one hinge, the hinge(s) may be inserted into at least one hinge recess so that the door may be securely locked via at least one locking mechanism. The different elements of the securable pet door are configured to be oriented in a predetermined, securable, or customizable manner. The door is configured to open from, slide into, revolve within, or move in some other non-limiting equivalent way from or relative to a frame.
