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.

Gate fastening devices and methods of installing the gate fastening devices.

A push and/or pull handle lockset, comprising: latch tongue (4) in first extended position, and operable to second retracted position; biasing means (6) urging the latch tongue (4) in first position; a linking means (12) to link the latch tongue to the actuator (16); sliding shaft (20) extending through lockset roses (27, 36), and operable from first position to second operating position; a biasing means (26) urging the sliding shaft to first position; an engagement means (21) for sliding shaft (20) to engage with actuator (16); lock accommodations (22, 30) for locking means; actuator (16) to translate movement of said sliding shaft to operate latch tongue (4) into second position; locking means (45) interposed between the lockset roses in parallel alignment with sliding shaft (20) including latch arm (46) which is rotatable in and out of lock sockets (22, 30); lockset unit operation is reversed by rotating the lockset unit one hundred and eighty degrees (180°) about it's horizontal lateral axis, changing the direction of actuator (16) or handle (43, 44) operation.

Anti-vandalism padlocks are used to secure chains, latches or similar elements, consisting of two coupling armours, with a particular geometry according to their application, with a tumbler cam lock. This padlock does not have an exposed shackle nor any other similar element which may be subject to violation either by cutting, lever movements or the like.

An appliance body of a refrigeration appliance can be closed off in its upper part by at least one door and receives a drawer in its lower part. The drawer can be locked in the closed position by a latch, which engages into a fitting part that supports the door.

A rotary latch assembly is provided wherein the front plate has a C-shaped configuration with opposite top and bottom flanges, and an interconnecting front face. A back plate is connected to the front plate for use in right-handed and left-handed applications. One or more trip levers are mounted on the plates to release the catch and rotor from a latched position. An embossment is provided on the front plate to strengthen the assembly and to support the rotor and the catch. Indicia is provided on the latch assembly to provide for ease of alignment with the striker for proper latching.

A rotary latch assembly is provided which can be configured as right-handed and left-handed using the same rotor and catch components, without reconfiguring the front and back plates. The axles for the rotor and catch are identical so that the rotor and catch can be interchanged on the axles. The latch biasing springs are mirror images so as to be used on either the rotor or the catch. The latch includes multiple connection points for single or dual actuators, and a lifting block to align the assembly with a striker.

A bolt module is disclosed. The bolt module comprises: a bolt moveable between a thrown position and a retracted position; an anti-thrust member moveable between a release position in which the bolt can be retracted and a plurality of blocking positions obstructing driving back of the bolt under action of an external force on the bolt and, a first rotor assembly capable of accepting a drive element, the first rotor assembly arranged to drive the bolt and to move the anti-thrust member between the plurality of blocking positions and the release position. Each of the plurality of blocking positions may respectively limit to different extents the driving back of the bolt under action of an external force on the bolt. There is also disclosed a leaf or door comprising the bolt module, wherein the bolt module is mounted on the leaf or door for securing the leaf or door.

There is disclosed an exit trim that permits simplified changing of the handing of a lever handle between a left hand and a right hand orientation. The handing orientation of the lever handle can be repositioned without disassembling the exit trim or removing components positioned within the exit trim.

The invention concerns a lock unit, comprising a lock assembly having a locking element and a drive receiving portion operatively associated with the locking element and a drive unit connected to the lock assembly, the drive unit having a motor and being configured to move the locking element of the lock assembly from a locked position to an unlocked position, the drive unit including a driving element that interfaces with the drive receiving portion of the lock assembly to move the locking element from the locked position to the unlocked position, wherein the drive unit is selectively separable from the lock assembly. The invention facilitates fitment of the lock assembly in position, provides a more compact and secure solution, and assists in regard to maintenance.
