Abstract: A device for placing in a sliding door or sliding window frame that adds additional security to prevent a sliding door or sliding window from being opened. The device is a secure locking device which comprises of a main bar and a lever bar that are connected to each other such that lever bar may pivot where it is connected to the main bar. The main bar is adjustable such that a length may be adjusted to allow the secure locking device to fit within varied sizes of sliding door/window frames. The secure locking device is also comprised of a locking mechanism that is controlled by a lever actuator and a lock button which are configured onto the main bar. The secure locking device is easily accessible by a user to lock and unlock in order to secure and unsecure the sliding door. The secure locking device is easy to position in a track of the sliding panel and does not require any need to secure into place.

Abstract: A lock comprising a housing, a plunger, a locking member, a locking plate, and a control assembly. The housing having an internal cavity, a recess, and a bore. The plunger is disposed in the bore and is slidable between a closed position wherein a second end of the plunger is positioned in the internal cavity and an intermediate portion of the plunger extends across the recess, and an open position wherein the plunger is withdrawn from the internal cavity and the recess. The locking member is movable between a locking position wherein the locking member is engaged with the plunger and an unlocking position wherein the locking member is disengaged therefrom. The control assembly operates the locking plate between a lock position to hold the locking member in the locking position and an unlock position to permit the plunger to move from the closed position to the open position.

Abstract: Improved vibration damping in a closing bar of a motor vehicle body lock makes use of a bar which is arranged on a bar plate and which is designed to be movable from a rest position in a working direction and is operatively connected to a counter bearing. A base plate is attached to a motor vehicle body. In the event of a movement of the bar from the rest position, in which the bar has a first rigidity, to a first functional position, which represents the operating state of the closing bar, the counter bearing has a second rigidity, which is lower than the first rigidity, and a third rigidity, which is greater than the second rigidity, in a second functional position, which represents a highly dynamic acceleration of the motor vehicle body lock.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and corresponding and/or associated methodology for door barricade systems which may be activated from inside an enclosure (or room) while still maintaining controlled serviceability or access to the enclosure from outside of the enclosure. Per some embodiments, bolts passed through a doorframe as a retrofit feature may support an interior plate which has a channel or passage for receipt of a manually removable door block member. The bolts are secured by an exterior plate and custom nuts which have customized drive surfaces. Corresponding custom drive head features interface with the custom nuts for either installation or removal of the door barricade system, even if the door block member is in place. Corresponding hole features on the custom nuts match with custom drive head pin features to provide an effective keyed entrance, which is hardened against forced entry if a person outside the secured room does not have the appropriate custom drive head.

Abstract: A handle for a compartment of a low, medium or high voltage switchgear includes: a body part; a hand grasping part; and a lock. The handle is movable from a closed position to an open position. When the handle is in the closed position, the handle is not useable to open a door of a compartment of the switchgear. When the handle is in the open position, the handle is useable to open the door of the compartment of the switchgear. In the open position, the hand grasping part is positioned so as to be graspable by a human user. In the closed position, a transition of an active element in the compartment of the switchgear from a quiescent state to an active or potentially active state activates the lock. Activation of the lock stops the handle from moving from the closed position to the open position.
