The invention relates to a door lock, which comprises, a lock body (1) provided with a forend and including a latch bolt (3), which is removable between a retracted position and a protruding, locking position out from the lock body through an opening (2a) in the forend (2) and which is spring-loaded towards its said protruding position, and dead locking means turnable from a passive position into a dead locking position, in which they prevent removal of the latch bolt (3) from its said protruding position into its retracted position in the lock body (1). According to the invention the latch bolt (3) comprises a body of the latch bolt (3a) and a separate latch bolt member (3b). The latch bolt member (3b) is supported on the body of the latch bolt (3a) so as to be turnable substantially around a longitudinal axis (24) of the lock body and formed to narrow down in a wedge-like manner towards the outer edge thereof, said bevelled part of the latch bolt member (3b) extending, in the protruding position of the latch bolt (3), substantially out from the lock body (1).

Door lock

A cylinder lock comprising a fixed cylinder housing and therein a turnable cylinder and a lock mechanism locking the cylinder to the cylinder housing. The turning of the cylinder is performed by means of the key of the lock after the key has set the lock mechanism in a cylinder-releasing position. Force transmission from the key to the cylinder is arranged to take part, in a first stage of the function of the lock, through a slipping clutch so arranged that when the turning force of the key exceeds a certain value, the elements enclosed in the cylinder and directly connected to the key are able to slip relatively to the cylinder in the turning direction of the key, in case the key has not set the lock mechanism in its correct cylinder-releasing position.

Slipping cylinder lock

A cylinder lock comprising a cylinder housing and therein a turnable cylinder enclosing a plurality of tumbler discs turnable by means of the key of the lock. Between the cylinder housing and the peripheral edges of the tumbler discs, there is a locking bar locking the cylinder to the cylinder housing. This bar is movable from a position locking the cylinder, in which position it is located partly in a groove in the internal wall of the cylinder housing, to a position releasing the cylinder by entering a channel formed jointly by notches in the peripheral edges of the tumbler discs when the discs are turned to a certain position. The movement of the locking bar is laterally guided by means of guiding discs, at least substantially non-rotatably fitted with respect to the cylinder. When the lock mechanism is fully released, the turning force transmitted by the key of the lock, is transmitted from the key to a tumbler disc, therefrom to the locking bar and from the locking bar to the guiding discs and through them to the cylinder.
