A lock includes a cable configured as an antenna, a shackle pin connected to one end of the cable, and a lock body connected to another end of the cable. The lock body includes a channel for the shackle pin, at least one lock member adjacent the channel pivotable from an open position disengaged from the shackle pin to a closed position engaging the shackle pin, a retainer associated with a lock member driven from a released position disengaged from the lock member to an engaged position retaining the lock member in the closed position, and an electrically driven linear actuator driving the retainer to the released position in response to a signal received by a receiver via the antenna.

A latch or connector system having a latch housing, a first latching component, a second latching component, and a handle. The first and second latching components are movably mounted to the latch housing, and movable respective latched and unlatched positions. The handle is movably mounted to the latch housing and operatively associated with the first latching component and the second latching component. The handle is movable from a closed handle position to an open handle position to cause the first latching component and the second latching component to move from their respective latched positions to their respective unlatched positions, and the handle is movable from the open handle position to the closed handle position only when the first latching component and the second latching component are in their respective latched positions.

A latching assembly for releasably securing a first member to a second member, the latch assembly comprising a housing, at least two jaws pivotally mounted to the housing, the jaws pivotable between an open position and a closed position, the assembly comprising a locking member moveable between a locked position to lock the jaws in the closed position and an unlocked position to allow the jaws to revert to the open position.

The lockset of the present disclosure includes a housing, a lock body, a first A clamping hook and a second A clamping hook. The housing includes a housing top surface, and the housing top surface includes a lock body embedding opening, and a first A insertion hole and a second A insertion hole which are located in two opposite sides of the lock body embedding opening. The lock body is disposed in the housing and includes a lock body top surface. The first A clamping hook corresponds to the first A insertion hole, and is capable of selectively rotating to open or close the first A insertion hole. The second A clamping hook corresponds to the second A insertion hole, and is capable of selectively rotating to open or close the second A insertion hole. When the lockset is in an unlocked state, the lock body top surface is capable of being pushed by an external force at a position adjacent to the first A insertion hole to generate a downward displacement, so that the first A clamping hook is rotated to enable the first A insertion hole to be open; and the lock body top surface is capable of being pushed by an external force at a position adjacent to the second A insertion hole to generate a downward displacement, so that the second A clamping hook is rotated to enable the second A insertion hole to be open.

A security lock for vehicles, especially for the cargo compartments of lorries or vans, but also usable on other doors, uses a clamp having two halves or plates such that same hold a bolt, increasing the contact area in the event of a possible attack or leverage, and, if the surface of the vehicle becomes deformed, the two halves jam the bolt, further increasing security and reducing the possibility of opening. In the security lock, the system of inside opening by a cable is eliminated. Further, opening from the inside of the vehicle is performed by rotating a shaft or handle perpendicular to the surface of the vehicle, preventing the vehicle from being accessed from the outside.

An apparatus for clocking a shaft of a latch relative to a housing of the latch is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a body, comprising a surface and a first opening, formed through the surface. The first opening has a first symmetry axis, and the first symmetry axis is perpendicular to the surface of the body. The apparatus also comprises a first funnel, comprising an inlet and a second symmetry axis. The second symmetry axis of the first funnel is parallel to the first symmetry axis of the first opening. Further, the second symmetry axis of the first funnel is spaced a fixed distance away from the first symmetry axis of the first opening. The fixed distance is greater than zero.
