A solenoid arrangement for controlling handle operation in a door lock, in which force transmission from an operation axis of a handle or the like to a follower acting on a bolt of the lock is provided by a movable coupling member which receives its guidance from the solenoid arrangement. The arrangement includes a shaft element which is arranged to move through a solenoid against the force of a spring and which moves a turnable lever member selecting the operating position of said coupling member. The position of the turning axis of the said lever member with regard to the coupling member is arranged to be selectively changed to provide a desired handle operation.

A lock casing comprises a case-like lock housing and a follower unit which is releasably fastened to the lock housing at an adjustable distance from the front plate of the lock casing. The follower unit includes a follower element which is turnable in the follower unit about an operating axis and is accessible from at least one side of the door for turning by means of a key operated locking mechanism. Force transmitting elements provide a force transmitting connection between the follower element and the bolt of the lock casing.
