Abstract: A door set mounting including a baffle assembly formed of two circular sheet metal members arranged in face-to-face relationship, and a cylindrical tubular shroud also formed of sheet metal which extends around those members so as to be substantially coaxial therewith. Each circular member has a transversely extending channel formed therein and those channels combine to form a receptacle for a door latch housing. An opening formed through the base of each channel allows passage of a drive spindle for the latch. The two circular members are held in face-to-face relationship by a pair of clips, each of which straddles those members, and the same clips also serve to hold the shroud in assembly with the circular members. Preferably, the shroud is formed of two parts each of which is held by a respective one of the clips.

Abstract: A security bolt including a housing and a bolt rod slidably mounted on that housing for relative movement between operative and inoperative positions. The rod is cylindrical and has a section of reduced diameter between its ends so as to form two opposed shoulders. Key operated locking mechanism, having a rotatable barrel, is attached to the housing and a detent member is rotatably mounted on an end portion of that barrel. The detent member is rotatable to a position at which it engages one of the rod shoulders and thereby prevents movement of the rod out of the operative position. Rotation of the detent member is caused by rotation of the barrel, but a lost motion connection enables the barrel to rotate to a limited extent in either direction without causing corresponding rotation of the detent member. The locking mechanism can be removed from the housing through a rear side and releasable securing means controls that removal.

Abstract: A lock for a sliding window or door and having a body which is adapted to be secured to either an outwardly facing surface or a laterally facing surface of the movable frame of the window or door. The lock includes a locking bar which is slidably mounted on the lock body for relative movement into and out of an operative position at which it projects beyond a back surface of the lock body and engages within a hole in the fixed frame of the window or door. The lock body is secured to the movable frame by means of fastening screws extending through bores formed through a mounting part of the body and those bores include primary bores which extend in the front to back direction and secondary bores which extend laterally through the mounting part. The primary bores are used if the body is to be secured to the outwardly facing frame surface and the secondary bores are used if the body is to be secured to the laterally facing frame surface.

Abstract: A door or window lock has a body which is securable to the door, window, or a surround for a door or window, and has at least two passages therethrough that extend angularly relative to one another. A locking bar is slidable axially in any one of the passages to adopt either an operative position or an inoperative position, and in the operative position a locking end portion of the bar protrudes a predetermined distance beyond an adjacent side of the body. The bar can adopt either of two operative positions for each passage and in each of those positions the locking end portion protrudes beyond a respective one of two opposite sides of the body. A key operated locking member is rotatably mounted on the body and can adopt a particular locking position for each of the passages. In the locking position for one passage, the locking member protrudes into a recess of the bar to hold the bar against movement in either direction from its operative position.
