Interconnected lock with asymmetric carrier

摘要

An asymmetric carrier for an interconnected lock assembly mounted in a door comprising a carrier body having a rack fixably attached to the carrier body. The carrier body has an asymmetric cam surface on at least one side of the carrier body. The asymmetric cam surface is engageable by a cam of the interconnected lock assembly in either a clockwise or counter clockwise direction to move the carrier body in a vertical direction. The cam imparts a horizontal resultant force on the carrier body in the same direction and in generally the same magnitude, regardless of rotational direction of the cam.
