Discloses is a lock for releasably locking a first component to a second component. The lock includes a driving assembly, configured to be installed on the first component and including a rotatable cylinder housing; a transmission assembly, including a cylinder core which insertable by a key and is in torque-transmission connection with the driving assembly; and a locking assembly, connected with the transmission assembly and having a first position decoupled from the second component and a second position coupled with the second component, wherein the driving assembly can move relative to the first component and drive the locking assembly by means of the movement to complete the locking, and the locking includes: making the locking assembly move to the second position from the first position and be locked there.

An exemplary closure assembly includes a swinging barrier, a pushbar assembly mounted to a first side of the barrier, a remote trim assembly mounted to a second side of the barrier, and a transmission assembly that extends at least partially through the barrier and couples remote trim assembly and the pushbar assembly. The pushbar assembly includes a latchbolt and a pushbar operable to retract the latchbolt. The remote trim includes a handle that is operably coupled with the latchbolt via the transmission assembly such that the handle is operable to retract the latchbolt. The handle is positioned above the pushbar such that a vertical offset distance is defined therebetween. The offset distance is selected such that a user having a height within a selected range of heights is able to actuate the pushbar assembly, but cannot actuate the trim assembly.

The invention belongs to the technical field of locks, and particularly relates to a lock facilitating double-locking from the outside. The lock comprises a cylinder, a cylinder follower, and a bolt component. The lock further comprises a rotating handle, a fixing part fixedly connected with an external supporting surface, a rotating part fixedly connected with the rotating handle and movably connected with the fixing part, a stopper arranged on the fixing part and movably connected with the rotating part, and an adapter movably connected with the rotating part and connected with the cylinder follower. The structure facilitates double-locking from the outside. A restoration structure for restoring the cylinder is not needed. Therefore, the structure is simple, cost is low, the adapter is easy to mount and dismount, a user can adjust the installation mode of the adapter and the cylinder follower, and even non-professionals can install the lock.

A key holder designed for use with manual key switches affixes a key onto a control box. The key holder includes a rotor housing, a key rotor, and a threaded opening. The key is mounted into the key rotor before being inserted into the control box. Further, the key rotor is rotatably mounted into the rotor housing via the threaded opening. The key rotor includes an interior face, an exterior face, a threaded body, and a key slot. The interior face and exterior face are positioned opposite each other about the threaded body. The key slot traverses through the threaded body. To connect the key rotor to the rotor housing, the threaded body is screwed into the threaded opening. This transforms the rotational motion into the linear motion of the key rotor, which along with the locking feature of the manual key switch, prevents the key from rotating.
