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.

A pet travel door system may include a door having an integrated pet travel door. The door may include a main body member having a door panel. A passageway may be formed in the door panel. A recess may be formed within the top and/or the bottom of the passageway. The system may include a structural member matingly engaged with the recess and a U-shaped structural member that overlies the recess having the structural member matingly engaged thereto. The structural member and the U-shaped structural member may have a through channel formed through a portion thereof. The main body member may have a respective receiving channel formed therein. The through channels formed in the structural member and the U-shaped structural member may be positioned to align with one another and with the respective receiving channel formed in the main body member.

The invention relates to a door lock with a locking element (1) for locking the door (3) in a closed state and a fastening element (2) for fastening the locking element (1) to the door (3), wherein that the fastening element (2) has an adjustable adjustment device (4) to compensate for different door thicknesses.

A lock (21) for an animal cage (11), the lock (21) being configured for locking a first wire mesh panel (13) of the cage to an adjacent second wire mesh panel (14), the lock comprising: a fastener (29, 31) for coupling the lock (21) to said first panel (13) in the vicinity of a peripheral edge of said first panel; a panel support (36) for supporting a peripheral edge portion of said adjacent second wire mesh panel (14), and a two-part locking mechanism (39, 41) reconfigurable between a first position in which said peripheral edge portion of said adjacent second wire mesh (14) panel is retained in said panel support (36) and a second position where said peripheral edge portion of said adjacent second wire mesh panel (14) can be moved out of said support (36).

A window fastener including: a base configured for connection to a window sash; a handle carrying a latching tongue, pivotally connected to the base between a latched position and an unlatched position; and an interface between the base and the handle, wherein the interface causes the latching tongue to move axially closer to the base when the handle pivots from the unlatched position to the latched position; and wherein the interface causes the latching tongue to move axially away from the base when the handle pivots from the latched position to the unlatched position.

An improved door lock mechanism is a door locking device having heavy plates that sandwich the door frame above or below the door knob of a door with bolts passing through the plates to secure it to the door frame, and a barrel lock accessible through the outside plate with a barrel key. The locking mechanism is attached to a locking bar on the inside that is attached to a lock shaft rotatable on the door frame side which rotates downward into a slot formed in a plate that is attached to the inside of the door adjacent the frame plates. Together the frame plates, the door plate, and the rotating bar function as a door bar.

A double lock, dual action gravity latch device to secure a gate in a closed position comprising a latch assembly including a pivotal latch member movable between a latched and unlatched position, a keeper assembly including a striker pin to maintain the gate in the closed position when the pivotal latch member in the latched position, a latch lock assembly including a lock assembly with a first lock and a second lock each independently movable between a locked position and an unlocked position disposed on opposite sides of the gate to selectively move a lock subassembly from a locked position to an unlocked position when either the first lock or second lock is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position, and move the lock subassembly from the unlocked position to the locked position when the unlocked lock is moved from the unlocked position to the locked position and a first latch actuator and a second latch actuator each movable between a first position and a second position disposed on opposite sides of the gate to selectively move the pivotal latch member when either the first lock or the second lock is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position moving the lock subassembly from the locked position to the unlocked position such that when either the first actuator assembly or the second actuator assembly is moved from the first position to the second position the pivotal latch member is moved from the latched position to the unlatched position to allow the gate to be opened.

A keeper apparatus engaged to the lower free end swinging corner portion of a gate, not to either of the upper and lower corner portions having the axis on which the gate swings, and not to the upper free end swinging corner portion where the gate has a main latch. The keeper apparatus joins the shortened ends of a horizontal gate support member and a vertical gate support member where, prior to engaging the keeper apparatus on the shortened ends, such intentionally manufactured shortened ends are free and spaced from each other.

A locking mechanism is disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the locking mechanism may include a hook component configured to be mounted onto an interior surface of a body of a container, a swivel component configured to engage with the hook component when the locking mechanism is locked, and a mount component to which the swivel component is rotatably mounted. The mount component may be configured to be mounted onto an interior surface of a lid of the container. When the container is in an upright position, the locking mechanism may be unlocked by applying an upward force onto the swivel component. When the container is an upside down position, the locking mechanism may unlock automatically.

The invention relates to a door lock with a locking element (1) for locking the door (3) in a closed state and a fastening element (2) for fastening the locking element (1) to the door (3), wherein that the fastening element (2) has an adjustable adjustment device (4) to compensate for different door thicknesses.
