A process and apparatus for providing a cabinet security system is disclosed. The system includes a magnetic lock to be mounted on a movable cabinet panel and a catch that is mounted on a cabinet frame and configured to engage the magnetic lock to hold the cabinet panel in a closed position relative to the cabinet frame.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a selectively operated safety latch having an active mode and a stowed mode. In an illustrative example, a retractable safety latch may include a tongue element extending in a first plane and a base element extending in a second plane. The tongue element, for example, may include multiple mode selection slots. The base element may include a brace slot. For example, one of the multiple mode selection slots and the brace slot may receive a security pin long a longitudinal axis so that a predetermined mode is selected. In the active mode, the tongue element extends away from the base element to releasably engage a striker element. In the inactive mode, the first plane and the second plane are substantially parallel such that the tongue element is prevented from engaging the striker element. Various embodiments may advantageously provide quick switching security latch operations.

A deadbolt control and security system for preventing rotation of a deadbolt manual egress handle of a deadbolt lock is described herein. The system preferably includes a deadbolt interface unit and at least one actuator unit. The deadbolt interface unit has a manual mode (the deadbolt interface unit manual egress handle controlling locking and unlocking the deadbolt lock) and a remote mode (the at least one actuator unit controlling locking and unlocking the deadbolt lock). The deadbolt interface unit includes: a deadbolt interface unit manual egress handle; a gear train having a shaft coordinated with the deadbolt interface unit manual egress handle; a unit-handle coupler that interfaces between the deadbolt manual egress handle and the deadbolt interface unit manual egress handle via the shaft; and a clutch. Preferred systems prevent the deadbolt lock from being unlocked using keys and/or other bypass tools.

An example security device includes a tag and a sled. The tag may include a security element, a receiving recess, a locking channel adjacent to the receiving recess, and a slug biased towards a sled facing surface of the tag. The sled may include a base having a tab extending therefrom, an adhesive applied to a product facing surface of the base for applying the sled to a product, and a cavity in the base having an opening on a tag facing surface of the base.

A handle for a hinged door comprises a first portion having a flat affixing surface. A second portion is spaced apart from and parallel to the first portion. A third portion connected to lateral edges of the first and second portion form a U shape having an opening away from the third portion.

An all-plastic, tumbler-free cam lock includes a cylindrical lock body with a flange extending radially from the distal end to be glued to a surface surrounding a mounting hole. The lock body has a bore extending axially and a central spindle received coaxially in the bore. A key has a cylindrical tubular key body insertable concentrically between the lock body shoulder and the distal end of the spindle. A pair of outer key lugs extend radially outwardly from the tubular key body to pass through the key channels of an interior shoulder of the lock body, thus permitting access only by one key configuration. A third key lug extends radially inwardly from the inner surface of the tubular key body to engage a keyway channel of the spindle.

Described is a strike plate assembly for installing in a door frame and methods thereof. The strike plate assembly may include a first member and a second member. When installed, the first member may be attached to a first door fame surface via a first attachment member and the second member may be attached to a second door frame surface via a second attachment member such that the strike plate assembly may be easily movable along the door frame.

Two part sleeves that fasten about existing arms of U-shaped gate latches, and bonded or slide on sleeve and cover devices, and replacement gate latches and methods for preventing injury with oar, fork and U-shaped gate latches that are pivotally attached to fixed support post next to an opening in a fence. The sleeves and covers and replacement oar, fork and U-shaped gate latches have enlarged blunt tips that can include bulbous, dome and ball shapes that prevent injury from children or adults that come into contact with the gate latches.

The door stopper is adhered to the front wing of the door that has been completely opened and the door is prevented to move from this point on. When the door is desired to be closed, the door is pulled gently by hand, the force applied by the door to the stopper tensions the pressure spring and the pressure spring forces the moveable head down to the floor, thereby enabling the door to pass over the stopper.

A safety device for infant protection includes a body having circular holes on both sides and a bent part in the center thereof to be bent at different angles, which is provided with a reinforcing wall formed with a predetermined height around the entire periphery thereof. Two knobs, each having a flat bottom surface and a screw rod composed of an idle part and a male screw at a predetermined length and projected from the center portion. An outer diameter of the screw rod is larger than a diameter of the circular hole while a diameter of the idle part is smaller than the diameter of the circular hole, whereby the knob can freely rotate without escaping and being disassembled from the circular hole when the idle part of the screw rod is inserted into the circular hole.
