Abstract
An interconnected lock assembly for use on a door includes a first latch adapted to be positioned in a first bore in the door and a second latch adapted to be positioned in a second bore in the door, spaced from the first bore. There is an outside operating member operably connected to the first latch for causing operation thereof and there is an inside operating member operably connected to the first latch for also causing operation thereof. There is an interconnecting mechanism operably connected to the inside operating member and to the second latch. The interconnecting mechanism is effective to cause operation of the second latch when the first latch is operated by the inside operating member. The interconnecting mechanism is adjustable as to length to accommodate variant spacing between the first and second bores.
