Abstract

A system and method for defeating a door lock. More specifically, a door having an outside door handle with a key-lock, and having an interior door handle of the type that includes both a paddle along with the handle runs the risk of being left in locked mode in the event of a mechanical malfunction. This problem has been overcome by mechanically linking the paddle on the interior handle to unlatch the key-lock.
