  • Patent number: 10316549
    Abstract: A lock for locking a door, the lock comprises a pin moveable between a retracted position and an extended position for locking the door and an actuator movable from a first position to a second position to move the pin from the retracted position to the extended position. Furthermore, the lock comprises a mechanism comprising a spring for biasing the pin to the retracted position and a latch. When in the latched position the latch prevents the pin from moving from the extended position to the retracted position, and when in an unlatched position the latch allows the pin to move from the extended position to the retracted position. The mechanism is adapted to disengage the actuator from the pin when the pin is in the extended position.

  • Patent number: 7445255
    Abstract: A cabinet lock for selectively locking a cabinet of a kind including a compartment structure and a closure movable relative to the compartment structure for selectively closing an opening of the compartment structure. The cabinet lock including a latch bolt assembly including a mounting and a bolt movably disposed with the mounting between a locking position and an unlocked position. Also provided is a striker including a coupling region with which the bolt can couple to thereby isolate relative movement between the latch bolt and the striker in at least one direction lateral to the direction of movement of the bolt between its locking position and the unlocked position. The striker is engagable with the compartment structure and the latch bolt is engagable with the closure in a manner to place such in coupling proximity when the closure is in closing relation with the opening of the compartment structure.
