An actuating assembly is configured for moving between a first mode and a second mode, wherein when the actuating assembly is in the first mode the keeper is prevented from moving toward the unlatched position, and wherein when the actuating assembly is in the second mode the keeper is permitted to move toward the unlatched position.

Surface mounted electric strike

An actuator-controlled electric strike for operating in conjunction with a spring latch of a lockset is provided. The strike comprises a housing having an entry chamber therein, and a spring latch keeper disposed in the entry chamber for movement between a keeper locked position and a keeper unlocked position. The spring latch keeper includes a keeper face, a second surface recessed from the keeper face and a contact ridge between the keeper face and second surface. The keeper face is contactable by the spring latch when the spring latch keeper is in the keeper locked position. The contact ridge, disposed at a non-perpendicular angle with the rotational axis of the keeper is contactable by the spring latch as the keeper moves toward its unlocked position so that a contact point on said spring latch changes as said spring latch exits said entry chamber.

A door strike assembly includes a strike housing and latch release assembly. The door strike assembly is used in conjunction with a lockset which includes a door latch moveable from a latched condition when a door is closed and an unlatched condition where the door may be opened. The lockset includes a deadlatch to prevent unauthorized movement of the door latch when the door is closed. The latch release assembly is received within the strike housing and includes a latch ejector which engages the deadlatch when the door is closed. A motor is coupled to the latch ejector where actuation of the motor rotates the latch ejector to disengage the latch ejector from the deadlatch. Further rotation of the latch ejector causes the latch ejector to engage the door latch to move the door latch to the unlatched condition such that the door may be opened.

An electric door strike assembly includes a housing and at least one keeper arm. The housing has an opening for admission and retraction of a door latch. The at least one keeper arm has a latch portion and is mounted on the housing. The at least one keeper arm is movable between a closed position, where the opening is occluded by the latch portion, and an open position, where the door latch may be released from the opening. The latch portion may include a bifurcated member having inside and outside legs arranged in spaced parallel relation so as to define a gap therebetween. The gap is configured to receive a latch plate of an interlocking latch mechanism when the at least one keeper arm is in the closed position.

Electric strike for interlocking latch mechanism

A device when installed between the physical gap between toilet partition panels provides a hook to hang personal items while the toilet is in use. The device also can be used to secure the toilet partition door to the toilet partition wall, preventing the door from being opened from the outside.

Portable lock for toilet stalls

A reinforced door strike assembly comprises a housing having an opening for admission and retraction of a door latch. At least one keeper arm is movably attached to the housing, and movable between a closed position where the opening is occluded and an open position where the door latch may be released from the opening. A reinforcing bracket is mounted to the housing and further defines the opening. The reinforcing bracket is coupled to the at least one keeper arm and to the housing to hold the at least one keeper arm in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the housing.

Reinforced strike assembly

An electromechanical cable lock system comprising an electromechanical locking mechanism including a cable having at least one plug end receivable in the locking mechanism and a plurality of slidable locking plates engageable with the plug in said locking mechanism. At least one of the locking plates is capable of movement in a first direction different from the movement of a second of said locking plates in a second direction. The locking plates are driven by a motor-driven cam mechanism. The system includes a card reader or other credential verifying device and an electronic controller for activating the locking mechanism, The system also includes a barrel lock for over-riding the electronic controller. A plurality of features can detect and alarm in the event of tampering or unauthorized entry.

Electronic cable lock system

An electronic wireless locking system comprising an external assembly and an internal assembly disposable on respective sides of a door or drawer. The external assembly includes a cover housing, a knob having a shaft, a card/credential reader, a status indicator, a wireless communication capability, a wire harness and a jump port plug. The internal assembly comprises a rotation link matable with the external shaft, a latch bolt, a circuit board and controller, and a locking mechanism including a rack and pinion gear set linking the rotation link with the latch bolt. A blocker inhibits the latch bolt from unlocking until authorized to rotate 90&#xb0;, permitting the latch bolt to be withdrawn from a strike plate by manual rotation of the knob. An optional mechanical key override feature may also be provided. The system may further include a preload sensor and a device locked sensor.

Electronic cabinet/drawer lock system

An access control device for a closure such as a frame mounted door having a latch bolt. The device has a electric strike in a housing, the electric strike having a cavity cooperable with the latch bolt. A proximity reader is integrated into the electric strike housing and, when installed in the door frame, is located in a secure position at least partially shielded by the electric strike. The antenna for the proximity reader may be integrated into the electric strike housing or may be remotely installed in the frame or other convenient location proximate the reader.

Electric strike with integrated proximity reader

An electric lock for remote access control to a container wherein a U-shaped latch is mounted on a door in alignment with a slot in a housing mounted in the container. Upon closure, the latch enters the housing to engage a slotted keeper therein and causes rotation of the keeper. Rotation of the keeper causes a release lever to engage a stepped protrusion on the keeper and secures the keeper and latch. Activation of a solenoid or drive motor coupled to the release lever permits withdrawal of the latch from the housing. The axes of rotation of the keeper and release lever are located to greatly reduce the impact of pre-release forces to the door.

Electromechanical locking device intended for remote access control

An electric strike which provides vertical adjustability of the position of the strike relative to the latch bolt in the closure with modification to the doorframe on the dust box. A ramp element in the strike housing is adjustable relative to the strike and is securable at the time of installation to align the center of the latch bolt and strike. The ramp element has a channel to allow entry and exit of a latch bolt having a dead latch. A keeper engages the dead latch and maintains it in a retracted position when the closure is locked and is released when the electric latch solenoid is energized.

Integration of vertical adjustability in an electric strike

A system for providing wire-free and contact free electric power and communication connection in a security installation between a door and a frame. The cores, windings, and control circuits of first and second portions of a split core transformer are disposed in the frame and the door, respectively. Power applied to the first portion induces a voltage and current in the second portion when the door is in a closed position. Modulation of the voltage amplitude in either the first or second portion defines a communication signal between the door and the frame. Status and data are transmitted at data rates that are essentially twice the frequency of the voltage applied to the split core transformer. In a second embodiment, voltage transfer occurs at 20 KHz and data transfer is in the range of 100K baud.

System for providing power and data transmission between a door and a frame

An electric strike which provides vertical adjustability of the position of the strike relative to the latch bolt in the closure with modification to the doorframe on the dust box. A ramp element on the strike housing is slidably adjustable relative to the strike housing and is securable at the time of installation to align with the center of the latch bolt. The ramp element has a channel to allow entry and exit of a latch bolt having a dead latch. A keeper engages the dead latch and maintains it in a retracted position when the closure is locked and is released when the electric latch solenoid is energized. A travel limiting foot limits rotation of the keeper so that the latch bolt may transition from the keeper to the ramp element without interference.
