Pivotally attached to the first and second base plates, respectively, are first and second opposed pluralities of security arms which rotate from a retracted position to an extended position in which security arms of the opposed pluralities extend toward each other across a portion of the door, reinforcing the door when first and second actuator arms operatively coupled to the first and second pluralities, respectively, are rotated from a vertical position to a horizontal position and are releasably coupled together by a sleeve.

A door-locking mechanism is for locking a door of a cabinet with respect to a main body of the cabinet. The door-locking mechanism includes a supporting component being operatively mountable onto the door, a driving component being operatively moveable with respect to the supporting component between at least first and second configurations, and at least one transmission component being operatively moveable with respect to the supporting component between drawn-in and drawn-out configurations. The door-locking mechanism also includes at least one locking rod being operatively connectable to the at least one transmission component and being movable between disengaged and engaged configurations with respect to a corresponding catch-rod of the cabinet, in response to the at least one transmission component being operated between the drawn-in and drawn-out configurations respectively, via an operation of the driving component from the first to the second configuration.

A lock device includes a base attached to a lid, a knob having a grip portion movably supported on a front side of the base and an arm portion projecting rearward with respect to the grip portion, a slider slidably supported in a rear part of the base so as to move slidingly by being pushed by the arm portion in response to a movement of the knob, a first rod and a second rod slidably supported by a part of the base located in front of the slider in a vertically arranged manner so as to be engaged by and disengaged from a pair of corresponding engaging holes, and a power transmission mechanism provided between the slider and the first rod and the second rod so that the first rod and the second rod are slidingly moved in response to a movement of the slider.

A twist handle latch assembly is provided for use on compartment doors of a utility vehicle. The assembly includes a plastic housing with a steel backer plate to which the latch pawl is mounted. A T-handle is rotatably mounted on the front of a housing with a post extending through the housing and the steel plate for connection to the latch pawl. Rotation of the handle rotates the latch pawl between locked and unlocked positions. A power actuator may be provided to remotely lock and unlock the latch pawl. A key cylinder actuator allows manual locking and unlocking of the latch pawl. A cam connected to the actuator has a window to receive a portion of the pawl in the locked condition.

A latch system for a tonneau cover. The latch system includes a handle that is configured to move about an axis; and a latch pin connected to the handle. The latch pin is configured to move in a retracted direction and during movement of the handle towards the tonneau cover.

A compact door barricade apparatus for use on doors is described. The apparatus is equipped with a protective inner case, outer case, door mount, an upper barricade, a lower barricade, barricade pivot links, handles, and barricade latches. Screws or lag bolts are used to mount the barricade latches to the door frame. The door mount connects the apparatus to the door. The barricade pivot links effectively link the movement of the upper barricade to that of the lower barricade. The movement of the handle disposed on the apparatus facilitates the synchronous movement of the upper and lower barricades across the width of the door and door frame, effectively securing individuals within a room.

A latching assembly for use on a pick-up truck, and particularly on a truck bed cover configured to sit over a truck bed section is provided. The latching assembly includes an electronic release assembly and a mechanical override system. An electronic release assembly includes a first rod coupled to a first electronic actuator and a second rod coupled to a second electronic actuator. The electronic release assembly also includes a first electronic actuator that selectively moves the first latch catch and the second electronic actuator that selectively moves the second latch catch. A switch is engaged to send a signal to the first and second electronic actuators to cause the first and second latch catches to disengage from the truck bed section. The first and second rods and the first and second electronic actuators also serve as part of a mechanical override system that selectively unlatches at least a portion of the truck bed cover from the truck bed section. The mechanical override system moves the first and second rods to mechanically cause the first and second electronic actuators, respectively, to manually move the first and second latch catches, respectively, to unlatch the at least the portion of the truck bed cover from the truck bed section as an alternative to moving the first and second latch catches by electrically moving the first and second electronic actuators.

A door of a vehicle includes a door body coupled to a vehicle body. The door body is movable relative to the vehicle body between an open position and a closed position. The door further includes a latch movable relative to the door body between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch is configured to secure the door body in the closed position when the latch in the latched position. An actuator is supported by the door body and operable to move the latch from the latched position to the unlatched position, and a push button actuator is supported by the door body and operable to move the latch from the unlatched position to the latched position. The push button actuator is operable to move the latch from the latched position to the unlatched position without operating the actuator.

A glove compartment lock device includes: a base member attached to a glove compartment; a knob member supported by the base member so as to be rotatable around a shaft portion between a closed position and an opened position; an arm member supported at a center portion in a longitudinal direction thereof by the base member so as to be swingable between a locked position and an unlocked position of the glove compartment and configured to come into contact with the knob member at one end portion thereof; and a spring member locked at one end portion thereof to the knob member, locked at another end portion thereof to another end portion of the arm member, and configured to generate a biasing force that rotates the knob member to the closed position and swings the arm member to the locked position. A rotation direction around the shaft portion in which the one end portion of the spring member rotates the knob member to the closed position and a rotation direction around the shaft portion in which the other end portion of the spring member swings the arm member to the locked position are opposite to each other.

Provided is a lock device for an opening/closing body, the device having a reduced number of parts and enabling a key cylinder to be removed with greater ease. The lock device comprises a lock part, a lock member which is operated via a manipulation member, a base member, and a key cylinder, wherein: the manipulation member comprises a cylinder housing part; the base member comprises a cylinder arrangement space in which the cylinder housing part is arranged, a wall part located at the tip side of the manipulation member, and an opening formed in the wall part; the key cylinder comprises a key plate; the key plate comprises a pressing surface; and the pressing surface is exposed inside the cylinder arrangement space and disposed further to the base end part side of the manipulation member than the edge part of the opening in the wall part.
