Abstract
A door lock has a housing adapted to be mounted on an edge of the door, inside and outside nuts rotatable about respective inside and outside axes on the housing, and respective inside and outside handles fixed to the nuts and respectively projecting inward and outward from the door with each handle movable upward and downward from a central position. A pair of bolts in the housing each movable between an outer position and an inner position are coupled to respective slides and movable jointly therewith between a position extended from the door in the outer position of the respective slide and a position recessed in the door in an inner position of the respective slide. An actuating arm on the inside nut can engage stops on one of the slide and a gear train meshes on one side with the outside nut and on the other side with both of the slides for opposite movement of the two slides on rotation of the outside nut. Respective inside and outside lost-motion couplings between the inside nut and the arm and between the outside nut and the gear train permit limited angular movement of the inside and outside nuts without movement of the one slide and gear train. The nuts and handles are urged by springs into the central positions.
