Abstract: The push-button lock arrangement includes a permutation chamber, and, in accordance with the invention, the combination of the permutation chamber can be changed without dismantling the lock arrangement and without the use of special tools. A cam, which is rotated by a simple screwdriver, activates the end of the lock-out slide of the permutation chamber to put the permutation chamber in its reset mode. The lock arrangement also includes a rotating stop member and a stationary stopper. The rotating stop member is connected to the outside door knob so that the rotation of the outside door knob is constrained to a predetermined angle of rotation.

Abstract: The cross-section of the core body defines a peripheral profile. The core body includes a plug housing and a tumbler pin housing, and at least two separately controllable control elements are mounted in the plug housings. Each of the control elements includes a retainer lug and the retainer lugs are movable between a retracted position, when they are substantially completely within the profile, and an extended position, when they project laterally of the core body outside of the profile.

Abstract: An elongated bolt extension member is coupled to the bolt head of a door latch, and a pivotally mounted latch cam engages the elongated bolt extension member to slide the latch into and out of its retracted position. The elongated bolt extension member has a top surface with two spaced openings corresponding to two different backset distances. The latch cam extends into one or the other of the openings to adjust the backset distance.
