A compression latch for a door includes a driver that is rotatable with respect to the door between an unlocked position and a locked position. The driver is configured to be mounted to one side of the door. A driver shaft is non-rotatably connected to the driver such that the driver shaft rotates along with the driver. In an unlocked position of the driver, the pawl is positioned to permit opening of the door, and, in a locked position of the driver, the pawl is positioned to prevent opening of the door. The compression latch is configured to translate the pawl closer toward the door upon rotating the driver from the unlocked position to the locked position.

Described herein are example fluid guards that can be used with locking devices. Various aspects may be particularly applicable to electrical locks, but they may also be applicable to mechanical locks. A locking device guard can include a guard cover, a fluid absorber, and a coupling element. The fluid absorber can be configured in a closed configuration to fit at least partially within a cup of a lock face. The coupling element can be configured to couple the guard cover to the lock and can define a second axis. The coupling element can be configured to allow the guard cover to rotate about the second axis.

A method for mutually controlling and unlocking a dual plug in a lock, comprising: unlocking a code of a first plug first, the first plug restricting unlocking of a second plug, the second plug restricting rotating of the first plug before the code of the first plug is unlocked; after unlocking the code of the first plug, the first plug translating to a second position from a first position using a preset position difference, the first plug being unable to rotate during the translation; after moving the first plug to the second position, the first plug releasing a restriction on the second plug, the second plug still restricting the rotating of the first plug; and unlocking the code of the second plug, the first plug and the second plug being able to rotate synchronously so as to unlock the lock after unlocking the code of the second plug. The present invention further relates to a lock with a dual plug.

An embodiment door outside handle assembly includes a door lock body configured to be attached to an outside of a door panel of a vehicle, a grip cover covering an outside of the door lock body and including a key hole configured to receive an emergency key, and a door lock cap on an outside of the grip cover, the door lock cap being slidable in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle to cover or uncover the key hole.

A tubular lock assembly has a tubular lock, a cover, and a disassembling unit. The tubular lock has an annular keyhole and a cover screw hole enclosed by the keyhole. The cover is detachably assembled with the tubular lock, and has a covering board segment, a screw rod segment, and a first fitting segment. The covering board segment covers the keyhole. The screw rod segment is detachably screwed in the cover screw hole of the tubular lock. The first fitting segment is formed on the covering board segment. The disassembling unit has a second fitting segment. The second fitting segment corresponds in shape and size with the first fitting segment of the cover, such that the second fitting segment is adapted to engage with the first fitting segment, and the disassembling unit is capable of rotating the cover.

The invention refers to a lock system consisting of a hub cap (1), with a decentralized hole (2) for key insertion (3), where the lid (1) has appropriately inclined levels of pin pressure (7) and a key (8). The lid (1) is rotatable and it pushes a roller (21) through the sloping pin pressure level (7) which is located on the upper side of the lid (19) which pushes down a cluster of springs (15), (18) from locking (16) and alignment (17) pins, in order for the latter to align, allowing the case (9) and the hub (10) to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the lid (1) pushes the key (3) inside the hub (10) in order to engage the two gears (24), (30), which will allow, through a knob (28), the opening of the latch bolt (26).

A latch is configured to fix a panel relative to a frame. The latch includes a housing having a longitudinal axis and defining an aperture along the longitudinal axis; a cap mounted within the aperture of the housing for rotation about the longitudinal axis, the cap comprising a drive surface; and a cover coupled to the housing to pivot about a lateral axis, the cover pivotable to be in a closed position in which the cover covers the cap; wherein when the cap is in an unlatched position, the drive surface of the cap is aligned with an engagement surface of the cover and positioned to block the cover from pivoting to the closed position; and wherein when the cap is in a latched position, the drive surface is unaligned with the engagement surface and positioned to permit the cover to pivot to the closed position.

Provided is an outer handle device for a vehicle door includes an outer handle and a cover. The outer handle includes a handle body that is disposed outside an outer panel of the vehicle door and extends in a front-rear direction of a vehicle. The cover is configured to cover, from an outside of the vehicle door, a cylinder lock located in a position adjacent to a first end of the handle body. The cover is configured to be attached to the outer panel and has an extension part, and the outer handle is turnable between a non-operation position and an operation position. While the outer handle is in the non-operation position, the extension part is engaged with a first end of the handle body and overlaps the first end of the handle body in a side view. While the outer handle is in the operation position, the engagement between the extension part and the first end of the handle body is released, and the cover is attachable to and detachable from the outer panel.

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.
