A wireless transmission system used for a self-locking lock box has a first transmission unit received in a first insert hole of a door frame, and a self-locking lock box secured at a door plank. The self-locking lock box is provided therein with a square bolt able to eject out of the lock box, and the square bolt is connected with a control pin and has its front end fixed with a second transmission unit. By so designing, when a user closes the door plank, the control pin will be pressed by the door frame and release the square bolt to make the square bolt eject out of the self-locking lock box and get into the first insert hole of the door frame, thus enabling the first transmission unit to approach the second transmission unit for elevating transmission efficiency.

A latch for a cabinet is described. The latch may be used to secure a door of the cabinet in a closed position. The latch includes a pawl member that pivots or rotates relative to a pivot plate. The pawl member includes a pawl tip generally opposite of a pawl fulcrum end. The latch includes a striker. The pawl member engages and disengages with the striker. The latch includes a handle that is configured to move. The handle includes an upper end. The upper end is configured to contact the pawl lever end to cause the pawl member to pivot or rotate relative to the pivot plate to disengage the pawl member from the striker.

A lockset is actuable by pivoting a handle about a longitudinal axis of the lockset by rotating the handle and by pivoting the handle about an axis transverse to the lockset axis, such as by pushing or pulling. The lockset includes an inside handle and an outside handle, each associated with an independent mechanism, each of which can independently actuate the lockset. A locking mechanism prevents actuation of a first one of the independent handle mechanisms without affecting operation of the other handle mechanism. Upon actuation of the other handle mechanism, a retractor engages a surface of the locking mechanism and removes it from engagement with the first locking mechanism. An adjustment ring has a first configuration that centers the lockset in a door having a first standard thickness and a second configuration that centers the lockset in a door having a second standard thickness.

In order to lock the door proceeding from the open position, a locking bar is brought into the locked position under tension of a spring element, in which locked position a closing force acting on the locking bar is determined by the spring element, and, in order to unlock the door, the locking bar is brought out of the locked position into an unlocked position with the aid of an actuating force that is not applied by the spring element, and, after the striker has moved out of the locked position, the locking bar moves into the open position by means of the force of the spring element.

A Bowden cable arrangement is provided for a motor vehicle door lock arrangement, wherein the Bowden cable arrangement has a cable strand and a cable conduit, and wherein an adjustment device is provided with a first coupling element and a second coupling element within the chain of operating forces of the cable strand and with a coupling mechanism. In some embodiments the coupling elements may be coupled to each other by the coupling mechanism in different coupling positions relative to each other in order to adjust the length of the cable strand.
