Deadbolt assembly having selectable backset

摘要

A deadbolt lockset having a linkage between the bolt and the bolt housing. The attachment point between the bolt and the first link can be selected from among several attachment points, and the connection between the bolt housing and a second link can be selected from among several locations to give a selected backset and a selected throw. A particular feature is the capability to provide a substantially longer throw than with conventional deadbolt assemblies.
