Abstract:
A protective sleeve for a lock includes a circumferential wall delimiting a longitudinal through-hole. The circumferential wall includes at least one longitudinal slot, forming at least one shielding skirt for shielding a housing of a latch mechanism of a lock that extends into the protective sleeve via the longitudinal slot. A tab extends from a perimeter delimiting the longitudinal slot into the longitudinal through-hole of the protective sleeve. The tab is extended through by an associated mounting post of the lock. A lock with such a protective sleeve is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A lock includes an inside handle, an outside handle, and a body between the handles. A spindle is mounted to each handle to turn therewith. Two pivotable wheels are mounted in the case and operably connected to the inside and outside spindles and a latch bolt such that turning of either handle causes retraction of the latch bolt. One of the wheels engaging with the outside spindle includes a notch communicated with a through-hole of the wheel. A lever extends through the notch of the wheel and includes an end in the through-hole of the notched wheel. When a locking plug is moved to a blocking position, the end of the lever sways to move the outside spindle out of the through-hole of the notched wheel such that the outside handle turns idly when the outside handle is turned.
Abstract:
A mortise lock includes a chassis mounted in a mounting hole of a door and an outside handle assembly mounted to a side of the chassis. The outside handle assembly includes an outside spindle having a first end partially received in the chassis and operably connected to at least one bolt of the chassis such that rotation of the outside spindle causes retraction of the bolt. The first end of the outside spindle includes a perimeter groove, forming a fragile portion. An outside handle includes an end securely connected to a second end of the outside spindle to turn therewith. The fragile portion of the outside spindle is broken when an excessive force is applied to the outside handle. Thus, unauthorized opening of the door by forcibly turning the outside handle is prevented. Further, the mortise lock can be easily installed, and the cost of the mortise lock is cut.
Abstract:
A tubular lock includes an inside assembly having an inside rose and an inside rose liner, an outside assembly having an outside rose and an outside rose liner, a latch mechanism including a latch, at least one of the inside assembly and the outside assembly having a spindle operably connected to the latch for retracting the latch and a handle connected to the spindle to turn therewith, and a fireproof cover having a longitudinal through-hole through which the spindle extends. The fireproof cover is mounted outside the outside rose liner and thus covers the outside rose liner. The inside rose liner, the outside rose liner, and the fireproof cover are engaged together.
Abstract:
An outside spindle is mounted to an outside handle of a lock to turn therewith. An outer end of the outside spindle includes a slot and at least one engaging piece formed thereon. A core retainer is securely mounted to the outer end of the outside spindle. The core retainer receives and positions a lock core interchangeably mounted in the outside handle. The core retainer includes a longitudinal slot aligned with the slot of the outside spindle, with the lock core extending into the slot of the outside spindle and the longitudinal slot of the core retainer. The core retainer further includes at least one positioning opening for securely receiving the engaging piece of the outside spindle, providing the lock core with a pulling-resisting effect in the axial direction.
Abstract:
A lock includes an inner assembly, an outer assembly, and a latch mechanism. The inner assembly includes an inside lever handle, an inside spindle, and an inside rose. The outer assembly includes an outside lever handle, an outside spindle, and an outside rose liner from which two engaging posts extend. The latch mechanism includes a housing and a latch bolt. A reinforcing plate includes two pegs respectively extending through two positioning holes of the housing. The reinforcing plate further includes a central hole through which the outside spindle extends. The reinforcing plate further includes a pair of slots through which the engaging posts extend. Two fasteners are extended through the inside rose liner and engaged with the engaging posts. Each of the inside lever handle and the outside lever handle are located in a position that inclines upward and at 45 degrees with a horizontal axis.
Abstract:
An outside handle assembly includes comprises a spindle, a knob connected to the spindle to rotate therewith, and a core retainer. The spindle includes an upper slot and a lower slot, thereby defining two lateral walls. Each lateral wall includes an upper cut defined in an upper side thereof and a lower cut defined in an underside thereof. The knob includes an end wall having an opening defined therein and a projection formed in a periphery that defines the opening. The core retainer is mounted in the spindle and includes a cylindrical main body including a first end with a flange formed on an outer periphery thereof and a second end. The flange includes an outer end face that bears against the end wall of the knob. Two retainer lips are formed on the outer end face of the flange and include a cut therebetween for fittingly receiving the projection of the knob to thereby prevent rotational movement of the knob relative to the core retainer. The core retainer further includes an insert received in one of the upper slot and the lower slot of the spindle. The insert includes two lugs extended beyond the second end of the cylindrical main body. The lugs are received in the upper or lower cuts of the spindle to prevent the lock core from being pulled outwardly in the axial direction.
Abstract:
A manual control device includes an actuated tube which is connected to the stem member contacting against the rod movably received in the plug of the pickproof lock, an operating member securely connected to the actuating tube by receiving the boss thereof in the groove defined in the actuating tube, wherein the operating member has a rib so as to be frictionally received in the actuating tube. Both of the actuating tube and the operating member are received in the sleeve which has an L-shaped groove into which the protrusion extending from the actuating tube is movably received. The stem member pushes the rod of the pickproof lock by pushing the combination of the actuating tube and the operation member and rotating the combination to let the protrusion be securely positioned in the L-shaped groove of the sleeve.
Abstract:
An auxiliary lock includes a housing, a positioning seat securely mounted in the housing, a lock core housing securely mounted in the positioning seat and including a compartment, and a lock core removably mounted in the compartment of the lock core housing. The lock core includes two lateral sides each having a recessed section. A core lug is received in one of the recessed sections. The core lug is movable by rotation of a key for changing lock cores. The lock core housing further includes two cutout sections respectively defined in two lateral sides thereof. One of the cutout sections includes a slot communicated with the compartment of the lock core housing. A lateral inner wall that defines a portion of the compartment of the lock core housing includes a protruded edge. A lug retainer is mounted in the cutout section having the slot. The lug retainer includes a first end retained in the cutout section having the slot. The lug retainer further includes a second end extended into the compartment of the lock core housing for releasably engaging with a groove of the core lug. When the lock core is at a position for locking/unlocking operation, the core lug of the lock core bears against the protruded edge of the lock core housing, while the lug retainer is received in the groove of the core lug to prevent from forcible outward movement of the lock core by axial pull.
Abstract:
A clutch assembly enabling a free turn of an outer handle of a door with respect to a latch assembly of a lock is able to allow the outer handle to rotate to open a door when the door is unlocked and to rotate freely when the door is locked, so that internal mechanism will not be damaged.
