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.

Disclosed is a door security kit comprising (1) a metallic cuboid compartment, (2) a door guard assembly, and (3) an ASA/ANSI modified strike plate, the modified strike plate constructed with a top notch, a bottom notch, and an elongated lip. The metallic compartment further manifests a rear planar panel, having an adjustable channel cutout. A mortise cylinder mounted externally to one surface of the compartment connects to a tailpiece at one end with a keyway extending therethrough. Rotation of the keyway operates the tailpiece and a connected rod, the rod moving metallic plates to control the size of the adjustable channel. Decreasing the length of the adjustable channel causes the channel to clamp onto the notches of the strike plate, preventing movement of the door bolt from its insertion within the modified strike plate. The door, and the strike plate, are both housed and operate within a doorjamb.

A locking bracket, for use with an irrigation sprinkler timer box having a base for attachment to a fixed mounting surface, a plurality of side walls extending out from said base, a hinged cover rotatably attached to one side of the timer box, and a cam lock assembly having a rotatable cam plate mounted to the hinged cover in a position for engagement with a locking tab fixed on a sidewall of said timer box located opposite to the side to which the hinged cover is attached, when the hinged cover is closed and the cam lock assembly is in the locked position, is provided and formed of a base plate configured to attachment to the timer box base inside the timer box and a vertical extension bracket attached to and extending normally out from said base plate in juxtaposed, parallel spaced relationship with the timer box sidewall adjacent to the locking tab and has a cam lock receiving slot formed therein and configured for engagement with the cam lock in a position between said cam lock and the locking tab when the hinged lid is closed and the cam lock is positioned for engagement with the locking tab.

Systems and methods for operating a security tag. The methods comprise: causing a plunger of the security tag to engage a latch of the security tag; preventing, by an anti-defeat structure of the security tag, a disengagement between the plunger and the latch when an impact force is applied to the security tag; and allowing, by the anti-defeat structure, the plunger to disengage the latch when a magnetic field is applied to the security tag.

A window lock with a lock housing positioned on a first window sash and containing a cam rotatably connected to a handle protruding vertically from the housing and including two adjustable reinforcement members extending laterally from the rear surface of the lock housing is provided. The window lock also includes a lock keeper positioned on a second, adjacent window sash with a central slot sized and shaped to receive the cam therein and a pair of channels oriented in longitudinally opposing orientation relative to the central slot, each channel defining a T shape to receive each of the adjustable reinforcement members therein.

A rotary locking mechanism and a lock applying the rotary locking mechanism and a locking control method are provided. A rotary output member is locked by a stable triangular supporting structure between the first locking member and the second locking member, the effective constraint of the second locking member on the first locking member applied by the first locking member in both a locked state and an unlocked state achieves locking and unlocking reliability of the product. The entire locking mechanism is controlled by the same switching member. The false locking operation when the rotary member is operating is effectively avoided through the mechanical structure and the automatic control method. The entire rotary locking mechanism is enclosed and fixed in a shell of the lock, and can be applied to transmission machinery of bicycles, electric vehicles, motorcycles and even lightweight automobiles.

A locking system includes a tamper-resistant lock and key. The tamper-resistant lock can include a cylindrical lock body with an upper portion having an engagement surface defining a pattern of engagement features, a housing, and a hidden component sized and shaped to fit within the housing that includes an internal lock base into which the cylindrical lock body fastens and a padlock pin configured to secure the internal lock base to a hasp or staple. The key operable for use with the tamper-resistant lock can include a cylindrical key body defining an engagement cavity configured to receive the engagement surface of the cylindrical lock body, a set of complementary engagement features, a plurality of retractable engagement members, and a retractable collar at least partially covering the cylindrical key body.

Disclosed is a security lock for cargo compartment of a trailer. This solution is targeted to hermetically closeable cargo compartments (e.g., refrigerated cargo compartments) and includes at least one electromechanical lock mounted on the exterior side of the door. This locking solution is applicable to a number of cargo compartment doors produced by trailer companies, and with no substantial modifications in the original construction of the door due to the lock mounting. The lock provides several options of locking/unlocking, at least, by mechanical key, and continuous monitoring and locking/unlocking remotely from the central office with the use GPS and communication services (Internet/GSM/GPRS/satellite). The variety of mounting and locking options allows to adapt this solution and to protect the cargo from unauthorized access, on different trailers and logistics processes, for the entire trip of the cargo from the source to the destination.
