  • Patent number: 11887425
    Abstract: An entry/exit detection locking device includes a knob axle of a lock and an engaging and holding unit and a retention unit. The knob axle includes upper and lower rotary axles each formed with a notch. The engaging and holding unit is arranged at one side of the knob axle. The retention unit is arranged below the knob axle. The retention unit is connected through a control circuit to a card reader at an outdoor side. Through adjustment, the engaging and holding unit is set in engagement with the notch of the upper rotary axle or the notch of the lower rotary axle to achieve a locked state for exit or entry. Rotating the knob axle for entry or exit triggers the retention unit to make a record of the exit or entry. The engaging and holding unit is connected to the card reader to enable unlocking through card swiping.

  • Patent number: 10508471
    Abstract: A multiple-latch-locking lock structure includes a casing in which a lock tongue control unit and a lock latch control unit are arranged. The lock tongue control unit includes an operation-linking member, a positioning member, an arresting member, a swinging member, and a slide block. When a lock core is rotated, the rectangular lock tongue and the triangular lock tongue are driven to get pushed out and retracted back for latch-locking and unlocking. The lock latch control unit includes a rotating member, a slide plate, and a slide bar. When a handle is rotated, the lock latch is driven to get pushed out and retracted back, thereby achieving security latch-locking and the slide plate is caused to move up and down to achieve a function of controlling a vertical latch. As such, multiple latch locking can be achieved to provide the lock with better security and better burglary resistance.

  • Patent number: 9982457
    Abstract: The anti-theft device is configured in a door lock, and contains a first blocking piece, a second blocking device, a positioning piece, and a lever. The first blocking piece contains a first section and a second section bended and extended perpendicularly from the first section. The first section has a first through hole and a second through hole. The lever is engaged by a lock heart of the door lock. When the door lock is locked, the lock heart is turned to engage the lever so that the lever drives the first blocking piece downward by its first through hole. The second section of the first blocking piece as such blocks a lock tongue of the door lock so that the door lock cannot be opened without using key.

  • Patent number: 9803395
    Abstract: A lock structure suitable for various lock cores includes an engagement arranged at one side of a lock core axle of a lock device. The engagement member includes a rod section such that the engagement member is coupled to a link bar. A handle axle includes an arrestor member, such that the arrestor member is coupled to a stop plate and a push bar. A retention member is arranged under the push bar. When the lock core axle is rotated by means of a key, the engagement member and the link bar are driven to achieve locking, or a handle is operated to achieve unlocking. When the lock core is damaged, the damaged lock core is replaceable with one of various types of lock core without the need to replace the entire lock thereby improving the utilization of the lock.

  • Publication number: 20170175420
    Abstract: A lockset assembly with selective opening and closing, which primarily includes a press component, a linking component, a positioning component, a braking component, a sliding component, a connecting rod, a sliding rod, and an arresting rod. The press component is connected to the arresting rod using the linking component and the positioning component. The braking component is installed on one side of a handle shaft of the lockset, and the sliding component is installed on an upper edge of the handle shaft. The sliding component is able to slide along the handle shaft. Accordingly, pressing of the press component causes switching, which causes a displacement of the positioning component and a corresponding arrestment or disengagement of the arresting rod, thereby enabling the lockset to form a state which can be opened with a handle both from inside and outside a room.
