The door leaf is pivotally mounted to the casing so that the door leaf is rotatable relative to the casing about a first rotation axis. The hooking mechanism includes a movable assembly and at least one hooking member. The movable assembly is movably disposed on the door leaf. The hooking member is connected to the movable assembly. The hooking member is driven by the movable assembly to rotate relative to the door leaf about a second rotation axis to be moved between a locked position and an unlocked position. The second rotation axis is parallel to the first rotation axis.

WEATHER RESISTANT PIN LOCK
20170226773 · 2017-08-10 ·

A weather resistant pin lock with an elongated body, defining a longitudinal axis includes a shell housing a rotatable core having a keyway. An elevated pinway projects upwardly from the shell to define a linear array of pin slots containing a set of lock pins. A hood is fastened to the pinway to hold the lock pins in the pin slots and to provide a water resistant barrier. A drainway provides a channel for water to flow outwardly from the interior of the shell, the rotatable core and the keyway within the core, to a drain below the pin lock. At the proximate end, an access door rotates adjacent the keyway at an elevated position, to provide a gap along the bottom edge of the access door.
