A device and method for a strike plate for a door frame member and/or door assembly is shown and described. The invention may be considered a strike plate assembly and, in other embodiments, a lock strike plate with an adjustable aperture. The strike plate may fit within a mortise pocket on a door member of a door frame. The invention may include an adjustable base plate and a top plate. In some examples, the strike plate may include a first horizontally extended linear opening and a second horizontally extended linear opening. The strike plate assembly may be selectively positionable within the mortise pocket to facilitate lateral adjustability of an interior space within an interior aperture by movement of at least a portion of the strike plate laterally.

A fitting includes a functional lock part with a restraining area for a door element, and first and second fitting elements. Each of the fittings includes at least sectionwise a locating portion, which includes an intermediate layer able to contact the door element. The fitting elements delimit the restraining area. The functional lock part includes a third fitting element disposed between the first and second fitting elements. The fitting further includes an adjusting mechanism disposed between the fitting elements, with which a position alignment of the functional lock part can be performed.

An actuator-controlled strike comprising a housing disposable within a doorframe and including a cavity for a spring latch and a dead latch of a mortise-type lockset. A keeper is pivotably mounted within the chamber to engage the spring latch. A pivotably mounted kicker cooperates with the keeper. A pivotably mounted dead latch release is supported by the keeper when the spring latch is within the strike. The keeper is released by the actuator and rotates into a position to ramp the spring latch out of the strike, also allowing the dead latch release to release the dead latch into the cavity, allowing the spring latch to be ramped out of the strike. Pivoting the keeper causes the kicker to urge the spring latch onto an exit ramp on a face of the keeper. The dead latch release can be installed in a plurality of different locations in the housing.

A safety switch (2) with a latching unit (12), by means of which an associated actuator (3) is held in a latched position. The latching unit (12) has an arrangement of latching jaws (14). Each latching jaw (14) is spring-mounted by means of a spring unit (15). The latching jaws (14) are concentrically arranged and each face one another with a first free end and delimit an insertion opening (A). The latching jaws (14) are held in latched position by the spring forces generated by the spring units (15). The latching jaws (14) can be displaced against the spring forces of the spring unit (15), which serves to enlarge the insertion opening (A).

An electronic lock with adjustable dead latch channel location, comprising: an electronic lock body, having a housing cavity and a latch bolt; a plate, further having a gap for exposing the housing cavity and the latch bolt; a fixed adjust element, the middle section of the fixed adjust element is arranged below the gap, and set a fixed channel; and an active adjust element, having a ramp element relative to the latch bolt, the ramp element having an active channel relative to the positioning channel, and the width of the active channel is narrower than the distance between the pair of the fixing blocks, so the present invention can directly adjust the position of the dead latch channel without disassembling the entire electronic lock from the door frame.

A locking piece for a locking unit includes a housing having a housing opening. A locking arm, which engages through the housing opening, is mounted so as to be displaceable, in a direction at a right angle to its longitudinal direction, in the housing opening. A slide is guided displaceably in the housing in the displacement direction of the locking arm and is motion-coupled to the locking arm in the displacement direction. The housing and/or the slide are/is formed from magnetically attractable material. At least one magnet acts between the housing and slide and positionally fixes the locking arm in each possible displacement position within the housing opening.
