A compression latch for a door includes a driver that is rotatable with respect to the door between an unlocked position and a locked position. The driver is configured to be mounted to one side of the door. A driver shaft is non-rotatably connected to the driver such that the driver shaft rotates along with the driver. In an unlocked position of the driver, the pawl is positioned to permit opening of the door, and, in a locked position of the driver, the pawl is positioned to prevent opening of the door. The compression latch is configured to translate the pawl closer toward the door upon rotating the driver from the unlocked position to the locked position.

A latch feature for a door includes an input body that is operable to move linearly between first and second positions relative to the door. The latch feature also includes an output body. The output body is coupled to the input body by a pivot member that is configured to pivot relative to the output body and the input body to allow the output body to move linearly toward the input body from an outboard position to an inboard position as the input body moves from the first position to the second position.

A door lock includes a main lock ensemble and two auxiliary lock ensembles. Each of the two auxiliary lock ensembles connects the main lock ensemble with a long bar. The main lock ensemble includes a housing with a pivotal part being connected to a horizontal bar and a lock tongue, each of two ends of the horizontal bar connecting with one said long bar to switch the auxiliary lock ensembles locked and unlocked. A lock chip is disposed in the housing. The lock chip includes an accommodating hole with a recess for accommodating a rotatable lock core. A pushing block that is disposed on the lock core extends into the recess.

A cabinet including a door, a fastener, and a latch bracket is provided. The fastener is extending at least partially through an aperture in the door. The latch bracket is located on an internal surface of a door frame to secure the door to the door frame. A retainer washer is disposed around the fastener and disposed between the latch bracket and the door in order to retain the fastener when in a disengaged position.

A vertical rod coupler includes a bracket, bolt, and cam lock. The bolt is disposed through the bracket and the cam lock, and includes a head and a transverse pin. When the bolt is rotated relative to the cam lock, a pin camming surface cams the transverse pin to adjust the tension in the bolt and/or a distance between the head and the bracket.

To provide improved sealing of slidable facade components, a hardware (10) for a slidable facade component is provided. The hardware comprises a guide pin arrangement (12) for the slidable facade component with at least two guide pins (18a) for a first side of the slidable facade component and at least two guide pins (18b) for a second side of the slidable facade component opposite the first side. Furthermore, an actuating rod arrangement (14) for transmitting an actuating force is provided with a first actuating rod (20a) for the first side of the slidable facade component and a second actuating rod (20b) for the second side of the slidable facade component. Further provided is an actuating device (16) coupled to the drive rod assembly for transmitting the actuating force to the first and second drive rods with an actuation. The guide pins are each designed as eccentric bearing pins (22) with an eccentrically arranged axis of rotation (24) for rotatable attachment to the slidable facade component and are provided for engagement with a guide groove arrangement (26) arranged in the frame area. The eccentric bearing pins are each coupled to one of the drive rods via a coupling element (28) and are rotatable via a longitudinal movement of the drive rods. With the eccentric bearing pins supported in the guide groove arrangement, the slidable facade component can be moved transversely to the guide direction in order to cause the slidable facade component to be pressed against a fixed frame region transversely to the guide direction.

A security reinforcement system for a door assembly having a door frame with first and second spaced-apart vertical structural supports and a door hinged thereto has first- and second-channel base plates respectively mountable to the first and second vertical structural support. Pivotally attached to the first and second base plates, respectively, are first and second opposed pluralities of security arms which rotate from a retracted position to an extended position in which security arms of the opposed pluralities extend toward each other across a portion of the door, reinforcing the door when first and second actuator arms operatively coupled to the first and second pluralities, respectively, are rotated from a vertical position to a horizontal position and are releasably coupled together by a sleeve.

An apparatus is provided for securing together two members which are slidable towards and away from each other to provide a respective open and closed (locked) mode, wherein a plurality of devices are adapted to secure the members in a closed mode, and a control unit is adapted to operate the devices. The devices are in the embodiments described spaced longitudinally apart along a vertical edge or stile of a closure member, which may be a patio door, window, or other closure, with the control unit being disposed intermediate the devices and being operatively linked thereto by a connecting device for actuating the devices. The control unit may be driven manually by a control handle, by a solenoid, by an electric or electro-mechanical motor device, or by spring-loaded interlocking devices. The devices cooperate with keeper devices for securing the closure members together in the closed (locked) mode.

A retention bracket configured for use with a latch mechanism including a laterally extending housing. The retention bracket includes a first wall, a second wall, a collar, and a deformable section. The first and second walls are longitudinally offset from one another and are structured to receive the housing therebetween. The collar extends longitudinally outward from one of the walls and defines an opening having an effective diameter. The deformable section has a natural state in which the effective diameter is a first diameter, and a deformed state in which the effective diameter is a second diameter greater than the first diameter.

A fenestration assembly includes a fenestration frame and at least one panel movable between open and closed positions. A locking mechanism is coupled with the at least one panel and includes at least one latch and at least one latch fastener. The panel includes a secure configuration with the panel in the closed position and the latch coupled with the latch fastener. In the unsecure configuration one or more of the panel is in the open position or the latch is decoupled from the latch fastener. A status monitoring assembly monitors the secure and unsecure configurations and includes a sensor operator coupled with the latch, and a sensor coupled with one of the fenestration frame or the panel. In the secure configuration, the status monitoring assembly detects the sensor operator with the sensor if the panel is in the closed position and the latch is coupled with the latch fastener.
