Interlock for Enclosures
An interlock for an enclosure can include a primary interlock activator that translates a rod assembly upon movement of a primary door of the enclosure and a secondary interlock activator. The secondary interlock activator can be configured to be one of translated or rotated relative to the enclosure, by the rod assembly, to move a latch hook of the secondary interlock activator between engaged and disengaged positions. The secondary interlock activator can be configured to be placed in the engaged position by the translation of the rod assembly, when the primary door is closed, to prevent the secondary door from being opened. The primary interlock activator can be configured to be placed in the disengaged position by the translation of the rod assembly, when the primary door is open, to allow the secondary door to be opened.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes: a cabinet; an upper door; a lower door that is a drawer type door; a draw-out rail that connects the lower door to a storage space in the cabinet and that guides insertion and withdrawal of the lower door in a front-rear direction; an elevation assembly that is located in the lower door, that elevates an object stored in the lower door in a state in which the lower door is withdrawn, and that elevates the object relative to the lower door; and a door restriction device configured to selectively restrict an opening movement of the upper door based on whether the lower door is opened or closed. The door restriction device is configured to restrict the opening movement of the upper door based on the lower door being opened, and to allow the opening movement of the upper door based on the lower door being closed.

Flush bolt assembly with bolt-contained spring
A flush bolt assembly includes a latch bolt that has a head and a body. The body has an interior cavity that is defined by a plurality of walls. A guide slot is formed in a pair of sidewalls. The assembly also includes a sleeve that defines a through hole that is configured to receive a pin. A biasing member is disposed within the interior cavity, and it is configured to store energy upon being compressed between the sleeve and the latch bolt.
Multipoint lock
A multipoint lock for securing a door panel is described. The multipoint lock includes a first latch, a second latch, a first hub rotatable with at least one of a thumb-turn knob or a key, and a second hub rotatable with a handle lever. Upward rotation of the handle lever causes both rotation of the first hub and rotation of the second hub in the same rotational direction.

MULTIPOINT LOCKING DOOR HARDWARE
A lock system includes an active panel center gearbox. The active panel center gearbox includes a deadbolt, a deadbolt drive to extend or retract the deadbolt, an upper drive assembly, a lower drive assembly, a latch bolt, a handle assembly to retract the latch bolt and to extend or retract the lower and the upper driver assemblies, a reverse action rocker coupling the lower and the upper drive assemblies so they move in different directions, a mishandling bolt, and a mishandling plate. When the mishandling bolt extends, it lowers the mishandling plate. When the mishandling plate lowers, it engages the deadbolt to prevent the deadbolt from extending, it engages the handle assembly to prevent the lower drive assembly from extending, and it engages the reverse action rocker to prevent the upper drive assembly from extending.
