We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Locking System",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release IP65 locking system offers installation options from
Emka UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "A single design allows the use of square, triangular, hexagonal and double-bit insert locks, as well as conventional L handles, T handles and wing nuts".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Solenoids secure home deliveries from
NSF Controls: "A robust, compact solenoid from NSF Controls actuates the bolt locking system for A Home 4it's secure delivery system".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Emka UK
concerning its Emka 20.1mm rounded square cut-out
- take a look at Enclosure standardisation cuts costs
which says: "Emka's standard single 20.1mm rounded square cut-out minimises tooling, speeds punching and streamlines lock installation irrespective of type or size".
Take a look also at the news release from Emka UK, Locking systems protect data cabinets,
as well as Gearboxes and fluid couplings for quarrying from Renold Gears,
and Connectors remain watertight at high pressures from Souriau.
