Abstract: A gate latch including a bolt portion, a sleeve portion and a channel bolt. The sleeve portion is mounted on a generally U-shaped clamp assembly that is adapted to fit around tubular gate members. The sleeve portion further includes a receiving notch and a padlock portion. The padlock portion is adapted to receive a standard padlock and to surround the shackle of the padlock so as to deter attempts to attack the shackle with cutting tools. The bolt portion includes a C-shaped channel adapted to be secured around tubular gate members and a sleeve in which the channel bolt slides. The channel bolt generally includes an elongate channel, an adjustable stop, a dead stop, a handle and a locking notch.

Abstract: A lock for cabinets wherein a lock component is attached to one element of the cabinet and a counter-locking component is attached to another element. The lock component includes a hook-shaped latching bolt which is slidable and swivelable to become engaged with and disengaged from the counter-locking component. The latching bolt is held in a latching position by a locking bolt part of a permutation lock, and also by a retaining mechanism in the form of a heart-shaped endless cam slot which effects a release of the latching bolt only in response to a displacement of the latter in a door-closing direction.
