Abstract

Abstract A swinging door, paddle-type, key-controlled flush bolt lock made primarily of metal stampings, having a handle in the deeper part of a two level recess and the key control in the shallower part of the recess at the non-pivoted end of the handle such that the key control is readily accessible to an operative but does not protrude from the front of the lock. The key control includes a cam selectively movable into and out of the path of a member which retracts the bolt upon movement of the handle in one direction.
