A locking assembly for a non-pivotable door is provided. The locking assembly comprises a spacer plate defining a spacer plate bolt void and a strike plate defining a strike plate bolt void. The spacer plate and strike plate are to be coupled to one another and further fixedly coupled to the non-pivotable door, such that the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void are aligned. The locking assembly further comprises a locking mechanism and a housing, which is configured to receive and contain the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a latch bolt that is moveable between a retracted position within the housing and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the latch bolt extends outwardly from the housing and into each of the spacer plate bolt void and the strike plate bolt void, thereby locking the non-pivotable door to the housing.

In embodiments, a closure holder for a closure, in particular a door closure, includes a base element and an undercut arranged on the base element, which can be engaged from behind by a locking element of the closure in order to form a lock, and having an actuating device for adjusting the distance of the undercut relative to the base element.

Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for storing energy in a electromechanical lock. The electromechanical lock can include a main housing and a deadbolt. The main housing can be configured to extend a deadbolt along a path to lock and/or unlock a door. The deadbolt can have a hollow inner region configured to receive an energy storage device. The energy storage device within the deadbolt can be electrically connected to the main housing. The energy storage device can be used to power an actuator and/or accelerometer in the main housing.

The door prop apparatus disclosed herein is configured to secure a door in a partially opened position relative to a door frame defining a doorway, in various aspects. The door prop apparatus includes a mounting member adapted to attach to the door frame latch jamb and thereby secure the apparatus to the latch jamb, in various aspects. The door prop apparatus includes a latch receiving member adapted to receive the door latch therein, in various aspects. As the door is urged from an open position towards a closed position, the latch receiving member receives the door latch therein and thereby secures the door in the partially opened position, in various aspects. The door handle is operable to retract the latch into the door and thereby release the door from the secured partially opened position, in various aspects. Related methods are disclosed.

A striker plate includes a base having a surface for contacting a switch and a wall. At least one support projects from the wall. The at least one support supports the base in a hood inner panel. At least one locking tab extends from the wall. The at least one locking tab engages a cutout on the panel. The support is positioned with respect to the respective locking tab so that the support engage the cutouts. Upon rotation of the base, the locking tab engages the cutout locking the base in place on the hood inner panel.

A lock assembly comprising a throw bolt, a bolt holder and a bolt keeper. The bolt comprises a cutting barrier and a bolt casing, the bolt casing being more corrosion-resistant than the cutting barrier, and the cutting barrier being more abrasion-resistant that the bolt casing. When assembled, the cutting barrier will be enclosed within the bolt casing.

An apparatus for sanitizing electric rocker switches includes an electric rocker switch with sanitizing ultraviolet C sterilizing germicidal light which provides a germ-free surface. Sanitizing ultraviolet C sterilizing germicidal light electric emitters are incorporated within the electrical rocker switch and/or around the perimeter of the electrical rocker switch and/or electrical switch plate that surrounds the electrical rocker switch.

In an exemplary embodiment, a door lock includes a locking latch which is rotatable to and fro between a locking position and an unlocking position; a locking holder that engages the locking latch in a locking position; and a stop that limits the rotational movement of the locking latch; wherein the stop is repositionable and provides different stop positions in different stop receptacles.

A lock assembly comprising a throw bolt, a bolt holder and a bolt keeper. The bolt keeper comprises a buffer and a biasing mechanism, configured such that when the lock assembly is arranged as in use, and the throw bolt is in the locking position, the buffer will space the throw bolt apart from a surface to which the bolt keeper is attached; and the biasing mechanism will bear on the bolt and bias it against the buffer.

A strike plate mounting bolt assembly for resiliently mounting a strike plate to a door. The strike plate mounting bolt assembly includes a bolt and a post wherein the bolt is securably engageable with the post. The bolt is inserted through a bore in the door and the post is inserted through a bore in the strike plate. A resilient member such as at least one Belleville washer is disposed between a head of the post and a cavity in the strike plate wherein the at least one Belleville washer is compressed between the post head and cavity upon securing the bolt and post together to provide a resilient mount between the door and strike plate. The at least one Belleville washer may be a number of Belleville washers selectable stacked to form a pack of Belleville washers. By varying the number and orientation of the Belleville washers, the force/deflection characteristics of the pack may be tuned to accommodate the needs of a variety of electromagnetic lock design features.
