This invention relates to locking assemblies for doors/gates. In one form, the locking assembly includes: a pivot arm, with a cam roller and a means for engaging the door/gate; and a cam plate having a track with two paths configured to receive the cam roller of the pivot arm, a cam plate including a cam, whereby movement of the pivot arm causes the cam roller to move within the track, the cam roller within the track being restricted by a force applied to the cam. In another form the invention relates to a door assembly and locking assembly including first and second handles, a shaft mountable to the frame and a pivot assembly connecting the shaft to the door, whereby rotation of the second handle will turn the shaft and the shaft will in turn move the pivot assembly to achieve a locked or unlocked position and move the door to opened and closed positions.
