A tailgate assembly for a vehicle includes, among other things, a tailgate configured to pivot relative to a vehicle body between a closed position, a fully open position, and a secondary position that is between the closed position and the fully open position. The assembly further includes a cable device having a tailgate connector and a vehicle connector. The tailgate connector is coupled to the tailgate. The vehicle connector couples to a sidewall of the vehicle in first position to support the tailgate in the fully open position. The vehicle connector couples to the sidewall of the vehicle in a second position to support the tailgate in a secondary position. The first position is vertically below the second position. The assembly still further includes a bracket that blocks removal of the tailgate from the vehicle body when the tailgate is in the fully open position and when the tailgate is in the secondary position.

A door stop is insertable between a stationery door frame and a movable door for maintaining the door in an open position. The door stop has a body that includes a base portion, a handle portion, an attachment member, and a tether. The base portion is configured for insertion between the door frame and the movable member. The handle portion is coupled to the base portion. The attachment member is configured for being attached to one of a wall, the door frame and door. The tether is provided with a first end that is coupled to the attachment member, and a second end that is coupled to the body. The insertion of the base member between the door frame and door, and the engagement of the base member with the door frame and door maintains the door in an open position.

A latch assembly for a door is provided. The latch assembly includes a latch keep carried by one of the door and the surrounding structure and having a strike seat in which a strike may be removably received, a latch carried by the other of the door and the surrounding structure and having a catch configured to engage the strike, and a cable having a first portion secured to the other of the door and the surrounding structure and a second portion carrying the strike.

An apparatus including a wall plate, a retaining strap, and a storage groove. The wall plate is attachable to a wall and includes a door facing surface. The door facing surface is configured to stop a door knob extending from a door. The retaining strap is coupled with the wall plate and forms a loop. The loop extends from the wall plate and engages the door knob. The storage groove is disposed between a perimeter of the wall plate and the wall. The storage groove is configured to receive the retaining strap.

A lock for an access point such as a window includes a dual-action locking mechanism with a locking unit and a blocker. The locking unit is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position. The blocker blocks movement of the locking unit when the blocker is in a blocking position, and permits movement of the locking unit when the blocker is in an unblocking position. The lock may capture an insert attached to a tether to permit partial opening of a window while the unit is locked.

The present disclosure discloses an assemblable storage box. A box body comprises a bottom plate and four side plates, the four side plates comprise a front side plate, a rear side plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate, two adjacent side plates of the four side plates are detachably clamped together, bottom portions of the four side plates are disposed with support countertops, four sides of the bottom plate horizontally extend outward to define positioning edges, the positioning edges of the four sides of the bottom plate respectively abut the support countertops of the four side plates, and the positioning fasteners are fastened to the support countertops to enable the positioning edges to be positioned relative to the support countertops.

The doorlock safety chain release mechanism comprises an anchor fixture mounted to a door frame and a door plate assembly mounted to the door. The door plate assembly has a horizontal channel with a horizontal slot in the front wall of the channel. A chain has one end thereof attached to the anchor fixture and a release connector is mounted to the other end. A slider is mounted in the channel. The release connector has a ball-detent connector mounted therein, and engaged into the slider. The ball-detent connector is operable by depressing the plunger of the connector through the slider and into a hole in the backing plate of the channel. An operation of the ball-detent connector is checked by the backing plate when the plunger is unaligned with the hole in the backing plate. Applications for this lock mechanism are not limited to door locks.

The invention relates to a child safety latch for limiting movement of moveable elements, comprising a prong assembly secured to one element, and an anchor assembly secured to the other element for capturing the terminal end of said prong, said anchor assembly including a receiver to receive and capture said terminal end to stop movement relative movement of the elements by automatic engagement of the receiver of the anchor assembly with the terminal end, the prong assembly being movable by a user between a first position in which the terminal end is captured by the receiver preventing movement of one element with respect to the other element and a second position in which the terminal end is released from the receiver permitting relative movement of the respective elements. The prong is resilient and returns to the first position after release by the user such that when one element is moved back towards the other element, the latch is automatically reactivated such that subsequent movement of one element away from the other element by the specified distance will result in re-engagement of the terminal end and the receiver. The prong assembly preferably includes a strip of resilient metal, and the terminal end of the prong assembly includes an oval shaped opening which corresponds with the receiver which is in the form of a ramp shaped catch on the anchor assembly.
