Abstract: A time programmable unlocking lock includes a tenon structure assembly, wherein the tenon structure assembly includes a front and a rear retaining plate, the front retaining plate connects to an inner side of a door and has a round hole for a tenon of the rear retaining plate to go through, the rear retaining plate has a slot disposed thereon and cooperates with a flange to slidingly connect to the inner side of the door, a front end of the rear retaining plate connects with the tenon, a rear end of the rear retaining plate connects with a metal plate, and the front retaining plate connects with the rear retaining plate through a compression spring. A timer device is disposed at the inner side of the door and controls the circuit operation, the timer setting and the counter setting of the time programmable unlocking lock.

Abstract: A window guard latch with emergency release comprising a bracket having a channel for receiving a portion of the window guard, a lock for engaging the portion of the window guard received in the channel, the lock having a trigger for releasing the engagement with the window guard, and a solenoid linked to the trigger to operate it. A control box, mounted inside the building has an RF signal detector and means to activate the solenoid in response to the detector to release the window guard. Smoke detectors which trigger an RF transmitter and portable push button RF transmitters can transmit an RF signal to remotely activate the release mechanism.

Abstract: A building has at least one security guard post to control the secured building exits, each of which has an unlocking instrumentality, without forbidding their emergency use. When activating the unlocking instrument to open a secured exit, there is a transmission of information to the security guard post and an initiation of a delay during which the security guard can forbid the opening of the exit. The unlocking instrument can also visually indicate events at the exit. The apparatus has an electro-mechanical lock, a sensor which is sensitive to motion of the unlocking instrument, a control line linking each door to be controlled to the security guard post, and a central electronic processing unit. A surveillance circuit responds to the sensor. A security circuit frees the unlocking instrument when a fault is detected.
