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.

Fenestration systems and associated methods include use of a lock assembly having a housing, a cam gear, a reversal gear, and one or more catches. Various aspects relate to enhanced locking/security, including repeatability and overall efficacy.

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 vehicle with an integrated portable audio system includes an interior body defining an interior passenger compartment and a docking station having a back wall, an upper wall, a lower wall, and side walls that define a receiving compartment. A wireless speaker is removably dockable with the docking station. When docked with the docking station, the wireless speaker is configured to connect to an audio system of the vehicle. When removed from the docking station, the wireless speaker is portable and configured to connect to a peripheral device for playing audio media on the wireless speaker.

A multi-point latching device may include a mortise lock and one or more remote latches which are operable with a handle. The mortise lock may include a handle lock which selectively locks and unlocks the handle is independently controllable by an actuator and by a lock cylinder. The lock cylinder may be used to unlock the handle during power failure events where the mortise lock is put into a fail secure state, such that the mortise lock maintains normal functionality as a manual device.

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.

A case body with a double-toggle lockset, which includes a first case and a second case which are pivoted on each other. The main feature is that a double-toggle lockset is provided on the lift side of the second case, which includes a casing holder, a core, two pull parts and two linked buckle components, wherein the distance between the toggles of the two pull parts is in the range which allows a normal adult to pull the toggles with one hand. When the locking component of core is in release mode, the user can pull the toggles of the two pull parts to drive the two linked buckle components, so that the buckle parts are released from the locating hooks of the first case, the first and second cases can be opened.

A lock cassette includes at least one lock bolt connecting piece, adapted for releasable engagement with a lock cassette engaging end portion of a door integrated lock bolt of a door when the lock cassette is mounted in a lock cassette receiving cavity of the door, a lock bolt maneuvering mechanism, configured to displace the at least one lock bolt connecting piece between an extended position and a retracted position, to thereby displace the lock bolt between an extended position and a retracted position, and at least one lock bolt locking arrangement, configured to lock the movability of the at least one lock bolt connecting piece when a locking action is effected, and unlock the movability of the at least one lock bolt connecting piece when an unlocking action is effected.
