A door lock system comprising a first rotary configured to control extension and retraction of the deadbolt via a primary cam mechanism; a second rotary control configured to control extension and retraction of the latch; and a link configured to retract the deadbolt in response to operation of the second rotary control when the latch is retracted by the second rotary control. The link is configured to move along a linear path normal to the movement of the deadbolt and the door latch and to contact the primary cam mechanism upon the link movement to affect deadbolt retraction and extension. A lever may be used to retract the latch in response to rotation of the first rotary control in a first rotational direction when the deadbolt is retracted by the first rotary control.

A latch assembly is provided where a latch bolt is moveable to open and close a door by unblocking pivotal movement of the latch bolt. Turning a door knob or door handle does not directly result in a corresponding retraction of the latch within a sleeve, but rather unblocks the bolt to freely pivot away from a latched position. In some embodiments, the latch assembly may include a sleeve that allows for a backset to be infinitely adjusted relative to an aperture of the sleeve. In some embodiments, the latch assembly may further include a dead latch to provide additional security against forced entry.

A length adjustable door lock includes a latch assembly, a lock core connected with the latch assembly, a lock bolt connected with the lock core, and a housing sleeved on the lock bolt. The latch assembly and the lock core respectively have an embedding opening and slot having matchable shape, wherein a buckling portion is formed and provided on the lock bolt coordinately, wherein the buckling portion is adapted for being assembled in the slot of the lock core through the embedding opening, which is easy for the assembling.

A latch module for selectively engaging into a striking plate of doorjamb, including at least a housing, a latch bolt, a guard bolt, and a stem for retracting the latch bolt is particularly versatile, safe and has low manufacturing costs, if the stem is movably supported relative to the latch bolt and if the stem has a block for entraining the latch bolt, if the stem reaches a first intermediate position while being moved from the stem's closed position towards the stem's open position.

A collinear latching and locking system is disclosed. In embodiments, the system includes a strike with a lock bolt disposed at or defined by an end of the strike. The system further includes a latch pawl configured to surround at least a portion of the strike. The strike and the latch pawl are configured to actuate linearly along the same axis. In this regard, the strike and the latch pawl have a collinear configuration and actuation path. The system further includes a latch cam configured to actuate the latch pawl from a latched position to an unlatched position when the latch cam is turned.
