Abstract: An anti-theft lock includes an engaging member arranged on a chassis, a latch module including a connecting member and a latch coupled to the connecting member, a fixing module coupled to the connecting member, a magnetic module arranged on the top cover and used to cooperate with the fixing module to control movement of the connecting member, and an unlocking mechanism including magnetic members. The connecting member is movably arranged on a top cover. The latch is engaged with or separated from the engaging member through movement of the connecting member. The magnetic members are attracted to or repelled from the magnetic module so that the magnetic module fixes or loosens the connecting member. When the connecting member can move, the latch is disengaged from and separated from the engaging member.

Abstract: A door security device has a rail support including a top surface and a bottom surface. A door support is attached to the rail support, such that the door support extends vertically away from the rail support of the door security device. The door support is oriented at a normal relative to the rail support. The bottom surface of the rail support rests parallel to a surface of a rail of a crash bar when the bottom surface is situated adjacent the surface of the rail. The security device creates a rigid connection to prevent unwanted removal of the door from a closed position.

Abstract: A system for controlling a vehicle power tailgate includes a latch structured to be movable to a latching position when the latch is engaged with a portion of a tailgate so as to maintain the tailgate in a closed position associated with the latching position of the latch. A latch actuator operably connected to the latch to control operation of the latch. A memory is communicably coupled to the processor and stores a tailgate control module including instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to, responsive to receipt of a tailgate opening command, control operation of the latch actuator to attempt move the latch to an over-stroke position of the latch and, responsive to a failure to move the latch to the over-stroke position within a predetermined time period, control operation of the latch actuator to move the latch to a fully-latched position of the latch.
