Abstract
A door latch having an adjustable backset position which allows it to be used in doors having either a 23/8' backset or a 23/4' backset. The latch includes a cam which extends and retracts the latch bolt and has a rotational axis which is movable between the backset positions. The cam lever cooperates with a bolt extension which adjustably engages the bolt such that upon transposition of the cam lever, the bolt extension is adjusted relative to the bolt accordingly. A cam stabilizer plate prevents adjustment of the backset once the latch is installed.
