Abstract: A latch assembly includes a latch body having a longitudinal wall portion extending from a front wall portion to a rear hinge portion, first and second latch members assembled with the longitudinal wall portion and laterally movable between an extended position and a retracted position, and a hinge bracket. The hinge bracket defines a mounting surface and is hingedly attached to the rear hinge portion of the latch body for angular adjustment of the latch body with respect to the mounting surface. When the latch body is oriented at a first angle, first and second mounting apertures in the front wall portion align with first and second mounting apertures in the hinge bracket, such that installation of mounting fasteners through the corresponding first and second mounting apertures of the front wall portion and the hinge bracket secures the latch body at the first angle.

Abstract: A padlock includes a lock body, a locking element movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, a latch, a user manipulable lock interface, an actuator mechanism, and a counter member. When the lock interface is operated to a sequence of N correct code entry conditions, the latch is moved from an initial locked position to an unlocked position. When the lock interface is operated to any one of the plurality of code entry conditions, the actuator mechanism engages the counter member and incrementally advances the counter member toward a stop position. When the lock interface is operated to a sequence of N code entry conditions in which at least one of the sequence of N code entry conditions is an incorrect code entry condition, the counter member is moved from the start position to the stop position before the latch can be advanced to the unlocked position.
