Abstract: Latch assemblies are disclosed including a latch bolt mounted on a casing for relative movement between an extended latching position and a retracted release position, a first actuator operable from the inner side of the assembly to cause movement of the latch bolt to the release position, a lock operable from the inner side of the assembly to adopt an active condition thus render the first actuator inoperable, a second actuator operable from an outer side of the assembly to cause movement of the latch bolt to the release position, and a lock release responsive to operation of the second actuator to render the lock inactive.
