Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to a low-profile, electromechanical smart padlock that may be networked and remotely engaged by a consumer using a lock management system that may be accessed via a mobile computing device. Specifically, the disclosure relates to exemplary implementations of electromechanical padlocks, hasp locks and other electromechanical locks that can be configured to be networked to a central management system to provide selective secure proximity-based access to plurality of enclosures for a predetermined period.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an improved cylinder lock, key and their combination. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a locking pin assembly operable to provide added combination and increase security against burglary, such as by key bumping, a cylinder lock incorporating the locking pin assembly and key blade and key blade assemblies having the configuration to actuate the locking pin assembly.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cylinder lock wherein an eccentric barrel pin assembly with two contact points within the keyway are independently movable within the barrel to a common shear line against a single nested column pin assembly.

Abstract: A deadbolt latching mechanism for a door. Specifically, the mechanism relates to a fortified deadbolt latch providing fortification against attempted prying of a door against the locking mechanism. A fortified deadlock latch device configured to reversibly move between an extended locked and retracted unlocked position, the device comprising: a. a latch housing having a longitudinal axis; b. a latching assembly, the latching assembly slidably coupled to the latch housing along the longitudinal axis; c. a bolt assembly coupled to the latching assembly, the bolt defining a circumferential surface; d. a rocker hingedly coupled to the bolt assembly, the rocker having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein, the distal end is configured to protrude beyond the bolt assembly's circumferential area and engage a frame jamb box in the extended position; and e. a bolt sleeve or a face plate, operably coupled to the latch housing.

Abstract: A tumbler for positioning in a bore perpendicular to a keyway in a lock for selectively engaging a feature of a key within the keyway, wherein the tumbler comprises a male part that interlocks with a female part about a compressed spring; the male part having retaining teeth for selectively engaging an inner notch or an outer notch of the female part, such that when the retaining teeth engage the outer notch, the tumbler has a first configuration with an uncompressed overall length and on compression assumes a second configuration wherein the teeth of the male part engage the inner notch in the female section so that the overall length of the lock component is reduced, the change being irreversible.

Abstract: The disclosure relates in general to a locking mechanism for a door. Specifically, the disclosure relates to a thumbturn latching mechanism having a triggered rotation-arresting assembly therein, configured to inhibit rotation of the lock mechanism upon unauthorized removal of the posterior portion of the latching mechanism, while still allowing for selectably bypassing the rotation-arresting mechanism from the anterior portion of the locking mechanism.
