In a locking assembly for a lockable cabinet system, a base supports an electronic lock for locking and unlocking the cabinet. The electronic lock may be releasably attachable to the base at a plurality of spaced apart positions. A one-piece release bar can be connected to an override toggle of the electronic lock. First and second electronic lock override devices may be connected to the release bar for independently overriding electronic actuation of the lock. The electronic lock may be supported on the base such that the electronic lock is separated from the wall of the cavity or the base by a gap. An externally adjustable cam lock can be provided to selectively override the electronic lock. Such cam lock can further inhibit removal of a cover of the locking assembly when locked and allow removal of the cover when unlocked, thereby providing tamper-resistance.

The present disclosure discloses a door lock, comprising a cam having a notch, wherein the door hook is fixed in the cam when a door hook mounted on the door is inserted into the notch of the cam; driving means actuated by a push force from outside of the door, a pull force from outside of the door, a push from inside of the door, or by a control signal, wherein the driving means moves the cam from a locked position to an unlocked position.

An appliance includes a cabinet that defines an interior chamber. A door is mounted to the cabinet. A lock assembly is configured to selectively secure the door in a closed arrangement. The lock assembly includes a first latch arm rotatably mounted on the cabinet and a second latch arm rotatably mounted on the door. A handle is positioned within the interior chamber of the cabinet. The handle is coupled to one of the first and second latch arms such that the one of the first and second latch arms is rotatable with the handle. A motor is coupled to the other of the first and second latch arms such that the other of the first and second latch arms is rotatable with the motor.

A lockable latch (8) is disclosed for walk-in cold rooms which includes a lockable strike (10) with an exterior strike assembly (16) and an interior release assembly (17). The exterior strike assembly includes a housing (25) and a rod holder (32) configured to releasably hold a coupling rod (35). The exterior strike assembly also has a metal anti-rotation plate (40) removably coupled to the housing. The interior release assembly includes a turn knob (53), an escutcheon plate (54), and an index washer (55). The turn knob includes two oppositely disposed alignment projections (77) and a radial array of steps (78) which includes four, re-occurring series of three steps. The index washer has a four time re-occurring series of steps (93).

In several embodiments, a person trapped inside a cooler may utilize the cooler safety release device to escape. The person may place his fingers on a pull tab on the inner plate of the safety release device and slide the inner plate away from the outer plate to move the locking tab away from being immediately above the plate of the locking mechanism to being adjacent, but no longer overlapping, with the plate of the locking mechanism. In one or more embodiments, when the locking tab is positioned in a non-overlapping position with the plate of the locking mechanism, the lid is unlocked from the cooler body and is able to be opened, even by someone inside the cooler.

A panic bar latch release assembly is disclosed having an inside latch release and an outside pull type handle latch. The handle latch includes a main housing having a pivotal pull handle. The inside latch release includes a first bar mount, a second bar mount, and an elongated push bar. The first bar mount has a support bracket with a floor with a first stop wall and an extended portion with a push rod guide hole extending therethrough. A body portion is coupled to the support bracket which includes a handle mount channel which is partially defined by a second stop wall. A handle mount is pivotally coupled to the body portion. An elongated push rod is positioned within a push rod channel of the door so as to extend through the push rod guide hole.

A releasable locking mechanism for a refrigerated unit. A latch plate is movable between a position that can be engaged by a deadbolt and a position clear of the deadbolt. The latch plate is moved by a door release accessible from an interior of the refrigerated unit. When the door release is activated, a pin blocks movement of the latch plate so that the refrigerated unit remains unlocked until the pin is reset.

A locking system for a temperature-controlled container is provided. The container has an interior and a barrier having an open position allowing access to the interior of the container and a closed position blocking access to the interior of the container. The locking system includes a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature within the container; a locking device coupled to the barrier to lock the barrier in the closed position; and a controller in communication with the locking device and the temperature sensor. The controller receives the sensed temperature from the temperature sensor and controls the locking device based on the sensed temperature. The controller is configured to control the locking device to lock the barrier in the closed position when the sensed temperature rises above a predetermined threshold temperature.

Disclosed is a closure for a door of a shipping container. The closure includes a housing, an outside handle pivotally mounted relative to the housing, an inside handle pivotally mounted relative to the housing, and a catch connected to the inside handle. The closure is configured so that movement of the inside handle between a first position and a second position causes corresponding movement of the catch. A locking mechanism can releasably fix the inside handle relative to the outside handle, such that when in a locked position rotation of the outside handle causes corresponding rotation of the inside handle and when in an unlocked position the inside handle can be rotated independently of the outside handle.

A panic bar latch release assembly is disclosed having an inside latch release and an outside pull type handle latch. The handle latch includes a main housing having a pivotal pull handle. The inside latch release includes a first bar mount, a second bar mount, and an elongated push bar. The first bar mount has a support bracket with a floor with a first stop wall and an extended portion with a push rod guide hole extending therethrough. A body portion is coupled to the support bracket which includes a handle mount channel which is partially defined by a second stop wall. A handle mount is pivotally coupled to the body portion. An elongated push rod is positioned within a push rod channel of the door so as to extend through the push rod guide hole.
