• each notch 76, 77, 78 advantageously corresponds to at least two notches 83, one for locking the bolt 22 by the latch 55 in the open position and the other for locking the bolt in the closed position.
• additional notches 83 are provided, preferably an additional notch by notch 76, 77, 78. It goes without saying that, if necessary, certain notches could be duplicated so as to reduce the number thereof. relative to the number of notches.
• the width of the notches measured along the axis of the deadbolt 22 relative to the width of the bit is such that there is a clearance between the bit and each notch allowing the movement of the bit in it as described below. -above.

• the closing device comprises a lock which can be used in particular for swinging metal doors and gates, with opening by a handle (FIG. 4) or also by the cylinder only (FIG. 21), that is to say without handle, as well as for wrought iron gates, for gates, especially in garden or sports grounds enclosures and also for palisades or industrial doors
• the aforementioned closing devices include a lock adaptable both for tubular profiles with square section or flattened rectangular than for round section profiles, while being adjustable on profiles of different dimensions as illustrated in Figures 10 to 13
• Figure 19 clearly illustrates how one can easily adapt the lock of the closing device of a square tubular profile to round and vice versa, simply by incorporating an adapter plate 199 for the round section.
• the control of the bolts 21 and 22 is discriminated as follows: the first turn of the cylinder 106 by manual actuation returns the deadbolt 22, while the second turn of the cylinder 106 by manual actuation retracts the deadbolt 21.
