<p>A lock for a door (10) comprises a casing (11), a bolt (55) operable to extend from or retract into the casing, a pivoted operating handle (36) operable at one side of the door to retract the bolt, lock means (28) for key operation at the other side of the door, and blocking means (81) to prevent operation of the handle to retract the bolt. In a locked closed position of the door, the bolt (55) is extended, and with the blocking means operated, key operation of the exterior lock means (28) both retracts the bolt and also de-actuates the blocking means. At the inside of the door further key operable lock means (39,40) are provided solely to operate and, if required, to de-actuate, the blocking means. A casting (38) secured in the casing mounts the further lock means (39,40), provides part-bearings (38b;138b) for pivot.rods (41,43) of the handle (36) and a bolt locking element (44), provides a guide slot (138d) for a spring-like connector (49) linking the handle to the bolt locking element, and provides a pair of arms (66) between which slides a bolt release member (69) and against which bears one end of a biasing spring around part of the bolt release member. <IMAGE></p> |
