Abstract
A slide compartment for a hybrid lock architecture. The slide component comprises a U-shaped body portion and a plurality of independent retractors. At least one pair of slots are positioned near an open end of said U-shaped body for attachment of a drawbar of a door latch assembly of the hybrid lock assembly. The hybrid lock assembly comprises a chassis assembly mounted in a bore of said door. A door latch assembly is operably connected to the slide component housed in the chassis assembly for retraction and extension of a bolt. A handle is mounted on a spindle on each side of the chassis assembly. Rotational motion of either handle is converted to linear motion within the chassis assembly at the slide interface in order to retract the bolt of the door latch assembly.
