Abstract
A double cylinder safety lock has a bolt projected and retracted by a device having a rotatable hub. A key operated exterior device has a lost-motion connection to the rotatable hub so the key can be extracted from the device with the bolt in projected position or retracted position. A key operated interior device has either a direct or a lost-motion connection (depending upon the key used) to the rotatable hub, the hub connections being arranged to turn together. A key for the interior device can project and retract the bolt but can be extracted only when the bolt is in retracted position.
