<p>The bolt (12) of the lockset is held in a partially extended latching position when the door (2) is open, but automatically moves to a fully extended dead bolt position when the door is closed. More particularly, a pin (276) connected to the bolt (12) engages a shoulder (388) to hold the bolt in the latching position, but a cam member (398, 402) is provided which, as the pin (276) is advanced with the bolt (12) following full retraction thereof during closure of the door, is positioned to enable the pin (276) to ride up over the shoulder (388) to a dead bolt position. The cam member (398, 402) forms part of a bolt release plunger (392) movable with the bolt when the door is open, but held retracted by the striker plate (18) when the door is closed. A turn button (26) is provided for holding the bolt (12) out of its dead bolt position, if desired, even when the door is closed.</p> |
