A fitting arrangement for a sliding window or a sliding door has an actuating mechanism that can be arranged on a sliding sash and that is movable at least with a portion in the rebate circumferential direction, and a first control element that is arranged on the portion of the actuating mechanism, and a second control element that is arranged on a transverse slide. The transverse slide has a locking element, and the control elements interact and are tailored to one another in such a way that, upon a movement of the portion in the locking direction, the locking element is moved away from the sliding sash perpendicularly to a main plane of the sliding window or of the sliding door.

A gate unit includes a gate mount that can be mount to a doorway, hallway, or staircase. A gate is mounted to the gate mount for pivotable movement between opened and closed positions. The gate unit further includes a two stage gate latch that is configured to latch the gate when the gate is in the closed position.

A sash window fastener includes: a latch assembly; a sash lock assembly mounted upon the meeting rail; and a stop member mounted to the master window frame. The lock assembly includes a pivotable cam to engage a keeper on the master frame to lock the window, and a pivotable follower arm. The arm interconnects with the latch assembly within the meeting rail, so cam rotation that drives arm rotation also causes translation of the latch. The cam may occupy: an extended position to secure the cam to the keeper, with the latch engaging the master frame to prevent tilting, and being positioned below a protrusion on the stop member to redundantly lock the window; a first retracted cam position permitting sliding of the window; and a second retracted position permitting tilting of the sash window. Additional protrusions may be used on the stop member to serve as vent stop positions.

A sash window fastener includes a lock assembly, latch assembly, and stop member. The lock assembly mounts upon the meeting rail, and includes a pivotable cam to engage a keeper on the master frame, and a pivotable arm that acts as a follower. The arm interconnects with the latch within the meeting rail, so cam rotation controls arm positioningcausing translational movement of the latch. The cam can occupy four positions causing four corresponding latch positions: an extended position securing the cam to the keeper, with the latch engaging the master frame to prevent tilting, and contacts a first stop to redundantly lock the window; a first retracted position permitting sliding of the window, but limited by the slightly retracted latch clearing the first stop but contacting a second stop; a second retracted position permitting sliding beyond the second stop, but preventing tilting; and a third retracted position permitting tilting.

A multi-point locking set, comprising an engagement member attached to a first end of an actuator plate and configured to move the actuator plate in a vertical direction, a locking member attached to a second end of the actuator plate and attached to a first moving plate and a second moving plate, wherein the locking member pivots between a retracted position and an extended position when the actuator plate moves in the vertical direction, and wherein the first moving plate and the second moving plate move in a vertical direction when the locking member pivots between the retracted position and the extended position.

The present disclosure relates to a lock for a double pane door. A lock body includes a cylinder and a bolt. A main body has front and rear faces, a bore receiving the cylinder of the lock body mounted on the rear face so that a key can be inserted in the cylinder from a front of the main body, and a pair of extensions projecting from the rear face of the main body. A bracket is mountable to a rail of the door frame at a junction between panes of the double pane door. The bracket forms a pair of recesses receiving the pair of extensions between the bracket and the rail when the main body is positioned for locking the doors. The bracket also has an opening for receiving the bolt when the bolt is placed in a locked position by action of the cylinder.

A mechanism for a covering such as an encasement window or door or awning is provided. The mechanism includes an arm, on which a slot is configured. The slot includes a straight section and an angled section. The arm also includes a hole that is offset from the centerline of the straight section and disposed between the angled section and an end of the arm. A pin shaft is disposed in the hole and held in place by a cover member and a movable member, enabling the arm to rotate about the pin shaft. A rivet pin is disposed in the slot and fixedly connected to a fixed member. When the movable member moves, the arm moves such that the hung sash is unlocked from the fixed frame of the covering, and the angled section engages the rivet pin, causing the arm to rotate to open the covering.

A latch assembly for use in a storage container is provided, and comprises a bracket having a body, a first side, and a second side, the bracket being releasably secured to the first or the second body component of the storage container. The first side includes a protruding segment. The body includes at least one slot positioned thereon, the bracket being secured to the storage container via a fastener inserted through the at least one slot. The latch assembly also includes a handle secured to the bracket. When the handle is moved in a first direction, the bracket moves from a latched position to an unlatched position where the protruding segment passes through a lock box assembly, and when the handle is moved in a second direction, the bracket moves from an unlatched position to a latched position where the lock box assembly blocks movement of the protruding segment. The latch assembly is used in conjunction with a lock system.

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

A gate unit includes a gate mount that can be mated with a frame bordering a doorway, hallway, or staircase. The gate unit also includes a gate mounted for pivotable movement on the gate mount between opened and closed position.
