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.

A door lock with an energy-saving device, comprising: an electromagnet assembly secured on the door frame, which has an electromagnet and a control circuit board, and an adsorption assembly secured on the door board, which has a positioning unit and an iron plate, a set of linkage sensing mechanism set on the electromagnet, and a set of clutch mechanism set on the adsorption assembly; Thereby, when close the door board into the door frame, the control circuit board supplies power to the electromagnet with the high current in the normal locking mode to attract iron plate, and then, the clutch mechanism drives the linkage sensing mechanism to act, triggering the control circuit board to supply power with low current in the power-saving lock mode to maintain the closed state of the door panel.

A locking mechanism is applicable to an intelligent cabinet system having a first object and a second object movable relative to each other. The second object is configured to be located at one of a retracted position, a predetermined extension position and an open position. The locking mechanism includes a locking member and a driving device. The driving device is configured to drive the locking member to move from a first predetermined position to a second predetermined position. When the second object is moved relative to the first object from the retracted position along a direction and when the locking member is located at the second predetermined position, the locking member is configured to block the second object at the predetermined extension position. The predetermined extension position is located between the retracted position and the open position.

An actuating device (12) comprising an actuating element (14); an electric generator (16); and an electromechanical coupling device (18) configured to adopt a decoupled state, for decoupling the actuating element (14) from a locking member (22), and a coupled state, for coupling the actuating element (14) to the locking member (22); wherein the coupling device (18) comprises a blocker (26), a holder (38) and a release mechanism (40); wherein the holder (38) is arranged to adopt a holding position, in which the holder (38) holds the blocker (26), when the coupling device (18) adopts the coupled state; wherein the holder (38) is arranged to adopt a released position, in which the holder (38) does not hold the blocker (26), when the coupling device (18) adopts the decoupled state; and wherein the release mechanism (40) is arranged to mechanically force the holder (38) from the holding position to the released position by manual rotation of the actuating element (14) about the actuating axis (20).

A system for detecting the position of at least one moveable element of a window or door, the system comprising: at least one sensor for sensing a magnetic field, the at least one sensor being configured such that the magnetic field sensed changes as said moveable element moves; and a processor configured to receive output signals associated with the sensed magnetic field and to determine the position of said moveable element; wherein the system is configured to operate in a calibration mode and a normal mode, wherein in the calibration mode the system is configured to register at least an output value from said sensor when said moveable element is at a first predetermined position as a corresponding first reference value and wherein in the normal mode the processor means is configured to use the first reference value in determining the position of the at least one moveable element.

An electronic locking device to secure linear transitioning or sliding doors. The electronic lock may include a bolt driven by a motor between a locked or extended position and an unlocked or retracted position. The bolt may be coupled to a sled, the sled moved by the motor between a forward position, placing the bolt in the locked position, and a rearward position, placing the bolt in the unlocked position. The motor may drive a drive screw to move the sled.

A door position sensor of an electromagnetic door lock. The electromagnetic lock also includes an electromagnet and a strike plate. The electromagnet is secured to the door frame and the strike plate is movably mounted to the door so that a controlled amount of door movement in the opening direction is permitted while the strike plate remains in contact with an energized electromagnet. The door position sensor may comprise a sensor in or on the electromagnet and a permanent magnet mounted to the door and disposed in proximity to the sensor when the door is in a closed position. The sensor may be a reed switch or a Hall Effect sensor. The permanent magnet and strike plate may be mounted to the door by a mounting tray. The mounting tray may include indicia to aid in providing a proper alignment of the strike plate to the door and electromagnet.

A motor vehicle door lock includes a rotary latch which in a locking position encompasses a locking element that is pre-tensioned in a direction of an open position releasing the locking element. A pawl is in engagement with the rotary latch such that the latch is inhibited from moving towards the open position. A coupling section of the pawl is coupled to a drive element which moves the pawl between an engagement position and a release position, the release position allowing the rotary latch to move toward the open position. A force is applied to the pawl only in the engagement position thereof and the force application holds the pawl in engagement with the rotary latch.

An intelligent door lock system is coupled to a door at a dwelling. A sensor is at the dwelling. The sensor is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the sensor and includes a bolt. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together. A camera is coupled to or part of the intelligent door lock system. The camera is configured to define a safe zone in the dwelling in which an occupant, and a non dwelling occupant third person is allowed into the dwelling.

An intelligent door lock system coupled to a door at a dwelling. a door status device is at the dwelling. The door status device is coupled to a drive shaft of a lock device to assist in locking and unlocking a lock of a lock device at the door. The lock device is coupled to the door status device and includes a bolt. An engine, an energy source and a memory are coupled together.
