Apparatus, systems, and methods for selectively locking and unlocking a passenger door. The apparatus includes a first shaft, having a first longitudinal centerline, and a member, connected to the first shaft. A handle is connected to the first shaft via the member, the handle being movable via rotation of the first shaft from a locked position and an unlocked position. A first protrusion extends from the handle and a latch crank is connected to the second shaft. A second protrusion extends from the latch crank and a linkage is connected between the latch crank and the member. When the handle in the locked position, the first protrusion is positioned adjacent to the second protrusion to prevent rotation of the second shaft. When the handle is in the unlocked position, the first protrusion is positioned away from the second protrusion to enable the second shaft to rotate.

A modular side storage assembly for use on automotive bodies includes at least one door storage compartment module and at least one rear fender storage compartment module. The door storage compartment module has an internal sidewall, a horizontal base, and a curved external sidewall, joined with a rearward facing sidewall. The curved external sidewall meets the internal sidewall and forms a curved forward facing sidewall. A hinged hatch is attached to the external sidewall. The rear fender storage compartment module has an internal sidewall, a horizontal base, and a curved external sidewall joined by a forward facing sidewall. The curved external sidewall meets the internal sidewall and forms a curved rearward facing sidewall. An assembly includes front and rear door storage compartments; front fender guards; marker lights; a lockable storage panel cap and an antenna mount; and side steps with embedded LEDs. The assemblies are aerodynamic and easy to use.

A lock assembly, comprising: a drive hub configured to be rotated in a first angular direction; a latch having a latch engaged position; a lock having a locked position; a first locking member configured such that, when the lock is in the locked position, the first locking member retains the latch in the latch engaged position; and a second locking member configured such that, when the lock is in the locked position, the second locking member prevents the drive hub from rotating in the first angular direction.

Disclosed is a linearly driven rotary locking mechanism comprising: a rotating lock hook (1), a rotating member (3), a biasing force device (5), a slider (7), turntables (9, 14) and a reset mechanism (11), the rotating shaft (4) of the rotating member (3) is secured with the biasing force device (5) and the biasing force device (5) can rotate about the rotating shaft (6) of the biasing force device (5), the turntables (9, 14) and the reset mechanism (11) are respectively capable of rotating about their respective rotating shaft, and the turntables (9, 14) and the reset mechanism (11) are designed for local contact with the slider (7), wherein the rotating lock hook (1) and the rotating member (3) can rotationally mesh with each other, and the slider (5) can linearly slide, and the rotary locking and rotary unlocking of the rotary locking mechanism are driven by the linear sliding of the slider (7).

A multipoint lock assembly for a swinging door panel includes a mortise housing that is installed in a mortise along the non-hinged edge of the door panel. A latch operating mechanism and a lock operating mechanism are disposed in the mortise housing. Each of these mechanisms is designed to be operated with a standard rotary operator such as a handle or knob for the latch operating mechanism and a key and/or thumb turn for the lock operating mechanism. The latch operating mechanism is transitionable between left- and right-hand orientations and includes a deadlatch feature that prevents forced back-drive. Turning the key and or thumb turn of the lock operating mechanism extends a deadbolt and extends upper and lower shoot bolts from edges of the door. When extended, the shoot bolts also are secured against forced back-drive by unique mechanism configurations.

The present invention relates to a locking device (10) for independently operating a bolt (20) by a mechanical activation and a non-mechanical activation, the locking device comprising a bolt (20), a first follower (61) that is pivotable on a first pivot and comprising a follower arm (68) that is configured to engage the bolt and move it between the extended position (A) and the retracted position (B), a second follower (63) that is configured to contact the first follower (61) and move the follower arm (68), and further comprising a activation element (30) for mechanical activation of the bolt, and a control assembly (80) for non-mechanical activation of the bolt, wherein further wherein the control assembly comprises a play (P) such that the second follower when operated by the activation element is configured to move freely in relation to the cam and wherein further the first pivot is the activation element.

A latch arrangement may comprise a latch bolt configured to rotate about a pivot, and a shear pin coupled to the latch bolt. A counterbore may receive the shear pin whereby lateral loads may be transferred between a door panel and a frame.

A modular side storage assembly for use on automotive bodies includes at least one door storage compartment module and at least one rear fender storage compartment module. The door storage compartment module has an internal sidewall, a horizontal base, and a curved external sidewall, joined with a rearward facing sidewall. The curved external sidewall meets the internal sidewall and forms a curved forward facing sidewall. A hinged hatch is attached to the external sidewall. The rear fender storage compartment module has an internal sidewall, a horizontal base, and a curved external sidewall joined by a forward facing sidewall. The curved external sidewall meets the internal sidewall and forms a curved rearward facing sidewall. An assembly includes front and rear door storage compartments; front fender guards; marker lights; a lockable storage panel cap and an antenna mount; and side steps with embedded LEDs. The assemblies are aerodynamic and easy to use.

The invention relates to a locking system for locking of a room that is provided with at least one and preferably two doors or openings, said locking system comprising a lock holder with a lock and two toothed wheels with teeth for insertion of a locking boom behind the door, and an arresting device that is connected to the lock for arresting the wheels in locked position. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the locking system for locking of for instance shipping containers.
