A gate latch assembly includes a first door mountable portion including a first body and carrying a pivotable latch bar that extends outward from a side of the first body, and a first handle part operatively connected to effect pivot of the latch bar when the first handle is rotated, a second door mountable portion including a second body and carrying a pivot bar, and a second handle part operatively connected to effect pivot of the pivot bar when the second handle is rotated. The gate latch assembly can be assembled in either a first configuration to permit rotation of the pivot bar away from its neutral position in only a first direction, or a second configuration to permit rotation of the pivot bar away from its neutral position in only a second direction that is opposite the first direction.

In an exemplary embodiment, a door lock includes a locking latch which is rotatable to and fro between a locking position and an unlocking position; a locking holder that engages the locking latch in a locking position; and a stop that limits the rotational movement of the locking latch; wherein the stop is repositionable and provides different stop positions in different stop receptacles.

An exemplary method includes operating an access control device including a bolt, an output gear having a magnet mounted thereon, a first magnetic sensor, and a second magnetic sensor. The method generally includes selectively determining a position of the output gear via one of the first magnetic sensor or the second magnetic sensor based upon a current handedness of the access control device. With the access control device in a first handing configuration, the first magnetic sensor may be used to a first handedness first home position of the output gear. With the access control device in a second handing configuration, the second magnetic sensor may be utilized to detect a second handedness first home position of the output gear

A method for detecting a handed configuration of a door includes providing an electronic lock, which includes a latch assembly that includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position and a motor that is configured to drive the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. The latch assembly includes a control circuit for controlling the motor to selectively move the bolt, at least one sensor in electrical communication with the control circuit, and at least one orientation indicator. The method includes detecting the presence of the at least one the orientation indicator and identifying a handed configuration based on the detection by the at least one sensor. The method includes driving, by the control circuit, the motor based on the identified handed configuration. The control circuit identifies the handed configuration without moving the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position.

This present application discloses a handle and a lock structure applying to the handle, the handle including a handle portion and a rotating shaft portion for use with the handle portion, the handle portion and the rotating shaft portion are slidably and rotatably fitted to form a snap-fit mounting structure, and the handle portion is provided with a press-on member for locking the rotating shaft portion after the snap-fit is formed; the snap-fit mounting structure includes a first snap-fit portion and a second snap-fit portion, at least two snap-fit positions are formed on the first snap-fit portion, different snap-fit positions of the snap-fit mounting structure are selected to determine a mating use state of the handle portion and the rotating shaft portion, and the rotating shaft portion is rotated, so that the second snap-fit portion is snap-fitted to a corresponding snap-fit position of the first snap-fit portion.

A sliding door handle and strike assembly includes a locking member for engaging the strike to prevent the door from opening. The locking member is biased to an unlocked position, until it is moved into a locking position, in which magnetic co-operation acts to hold the locking member in the locking position.

A door lock system includes a toolless handing assembly that selectively sets a handle in a left or right home position. The handing assembly may cooperate with a disc and a spring that biases the disc to a default position. The disc may be rotated in a first direction to set the disc in a first home position. A catch may engage the disc to retain the disc in the first home position. The catch may be released to return the disc to the default position and the disc may be rotated in a second direction to set the disc in a second home position, opposite the first home position.

A lock portion of an electronic door lock system includes a first housing and a second housing secured to a backplate of the first housing. The second housing is secured to a first surface of the backplate and only accessible from a second surface of the backplate. One or more wires are secured to the second housing in a service loop and connected to an actuator within the second housing.
