A key-in-lever type door lock which can be installed on either a left hand or right hand door by a left-right reverse operation of a reverse plate. The lock comprises a lock assembly which regulates a uni-directional, 45-degree rotation of a handle thereof and a latch assembly which converts the 45-degree rotational movement to a retraction of a latch bolt. The lock is jimmy-proof, i.e., secure against improper manipulation, by the provision of a latch stop pivoted to the latch bolt and being movable together therewith. The latch stop, which has a catch end normally blocked by a retaining plate, is operationally pivotable about the latch bolt to release the blockage, thereby permitting a relative sliding movement between the latch stop and the retaining plate.
