A latch operator is mounted relative to the housing for operating the latch assembly. A drive assembly is mounted for rotation within the housing and is responsive to operation of the latch operator. A slider is mounted relative to the housing for linear movement and is responsive to the rotation of the drive assembly. A latch bolt assembly is also provided which is movable between a first extended position and a second retracted position. Movement of the latch operator in a first direction causes the latch bolt assembly to be moved into the first position and movement of the latch operator in a second direction causes the latch bolt to be moved into the second position.
