A vertical door latch assembly includes a housing and a bolt movably attached to the housing having a catch portion. A drive motor is located within the housing and is configured to selectively move a lock assembly between a locked position preventing movement of the bolt and an unlocked position allowing movement of the bolt. A controller is in electrical communication with the drive motor and is configured to direct the actuator lock assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position.

Latch assembly with removable battery

A method of staging a listed property for a real-estate showing including: receiving authorization information to access and control one or more internet of things (IoT) connected devices at the listed property from a first person via a first computer application accessed through a seller computing device; receiving showing settings and timing settings for each of the one or more IoT connected devices; and adjusting each of one or more IoT connected devices for the real-estate showing in accordance with the showing settings and the timing settings.

Lockbox

A vertical door latch assembly includes a housing and a bolt movably attached to the housing having a catch portion. A drive motor is located within the housing and is configured to selectively move a lock assembly between a locked position preventing movement of the bolt and an unlocked position allowing movement of the bolt. A controller is in electrical communication with the drive motor and is configured to direct the actuator lock assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position. A force sensor is in electrical communication with the controller configured to measured when a force exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Latch assembly for vertical door and method of operating

Latch assembly for vertical door

A vertical door latch assembly includes a housing and a bolt movably attached to the housing having a catch portion. A drive motor is located within the housing and is configured to selectively move a lock assembly between a locked position preventing movement of the bolt and an unlocked position allowing movement of the bolt. A battery assembly is removable from the housing when the lock assembly is in first position and fixed to the housing when the lock assembly is in a second position. A controller is in electrical communication with the drive motor and is configured to direct the actuator lock assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position.

A locking module for selectively coupling a first component and a second component of a lockable device includes a locking element including a plurality of locking fingers movable between an open position and a closed position. The plurality of locking fingers being biased to said open position. A biasing mechanism is coupled to said locking element and a compression force applied by said biasing mechanism to said plurality of locking fingers controls movement of said plurality of locking fingers between said open position and said closed position. An actuator associated with said biasing mechanism is operable to control said compression force to selectively lock said locking element.

Collet latch

A locking module () for selectively coupling a first component and a second component of a lockable device () includes a housing () and a locking element () movably connected to said housing () between a locked position and an unlocked position. A rotatable shaft () including a magnet () extends into said housing (). The shaft () has an opening () complementary to a portion of said locking element (). A biasing mechanism () is coupled to said locking element () to bias said locking element () towards said locked position. In said unlocked position, said locking element () is positioned within said opening () in said shaft ().

Pivoting magnet security latch

A lead screw latch mechanism is provided and includes a gate check rotatable to assume locked and unlocked positions, a housing defining lock and unlock grooves and a key container. The key container includes a boss and is biased away from the gate check and selectively movable toward the gate check through the housing with the gate check assuming the locked position whereby the boss, having been received in the lock groove, is prevented from exiting the lock groove and the unlocked position whereby the boss, having been received in the lock groove, is permitted to exit the lock groove. The lead screw latch mechanism further includes an elastic assembly which, with the boss exited from the lock groove, drives key container rotation toward a rotational position at which the boss is aligned with the unlock groove.

Door latch housing

Housing for containing a sensing mechanism

A lock assembly including a plurality of button assemblies having a plurality of indicator elements. A position of the indicator elements sets a lock combination. A code blocker is configured to cover and prevent access to the plurality of button assemblies when the lock assembly is in a first position, for example in an unlocked position, and to allow access to the plurality of button assemblies when the lock assembly is in a second position, for example in a locked position.

Code change blocker

A lock box is provided including a base plate. A back cover is mounted to the base plate and includes a first internal compartment. A first end of a connector is mounted within the first internal compartment and a second end of the connector, including an inlet, is selectively retained within the first internal compartment. A retention mechanism is configured to rotate between an unlatched and a latched position to selectively retain the second end of the connector. A front cover coupled to the base plate is movable between a closed and open position. When the front cover is in the closed position, the front cover limits movement of the retention mechanism between the latched and unlatched positions.

Rotary cable latch

Sensing mechanism

A lock core for a lock assembly is provided including a housing having a first end. An operating member is configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position. When the operating member is in the retracted position, the operating member is at least partially recessed within the housing. A control member is arranged within the housing and is configured to selectively limit movement of the operating member between the retracted position and the extended position. The control member is operably coupled to the controller via an actuator.
