Tubular lock with a backset adjustable by a follower plate

摘要

A tubular lock includes a latch bolt cylinder engaged with a casing consisting of two casing parts. An actuating plate is mounted between the casing parts and includes two separate teeth and two protrusions. A follower plate is in close contact with the follower plate and to which the protrusions bear against. The follower plate also includes two separate teeth. A spindle of the tubular lock bears against two teeth of the follower plate, thereby allowing the actuating plate to retract the latch bolt indirectly. Alternatively, the actuating plate can be directly actuated to retract the latch bolt.
