Abstract
A lock device may include a slider assembly including a first slider, a second slider movably coupled to the first slider, and a base having a planar portion with a top rail and a bottom rail that hold the slider assembly and allows the relative movement of the first slider relative to the second slider along the top and bottom rails in the base. The second slider can move relative to the first slider to different positions including a latch lock position, a latch unlock position, and a latch impending lock position. The lock device may also include a latch assembly attached to a chassis. The latch assembly including a latch element is configured to move to a first, a second, and a third heights from the top rail of the base corresponding to the latch lock position, the latch unlock position, and the latch impending lock position of the slider assembly, respectively.
