Abstract: An adjustable deadlatch for a lockset for adjusting to either of two backset positions. First and second cylindrical members are located in a telescopic arrangement for allowing a longitudinal telescopic adjustment between the cylindrical members. First longitudinal adjustment structure is interconnected between the cylindrical members and includes a first vertical slot and a first pin member located within the first vertical slot and includes a first rotatable member supporting the first pin member at a radial position. A deadbolt, located within the first cylindrical member includes a longitudinal opening. An actuating member includes a longitudinal portion located within the longitudinal opening. Second longitudinal adjusting structure is coupled between the deadbolt and the actuating member and includes a second vertical slot and a second pin member received within the second vertical slot and mounted on a second rotatable member at a radial position.

Abstract: An adjustable deadlatch for a lockset for adjusting to either of two backset positions, including a first cylindrical member having a first particular diameter. A second cylindrical member has a second diameter larger than the first diameter and with the first and second cylindrical members located in a telescopic arrangement. A detent is formed between the first and second cylindrical members and has two longitudinal locking detent positions corresponding to the two backset positions. A deadbolt is located within the first cylindrical member and includes a longitudinal opening. A longitudinal portion of an actuating member is located within the longitudinal opening in the deadbolt. The longitudinal portion includes a longitudinal slot having a length corresponding to the distance between the two backset positions. A pin member passes through the deadbolt and has an inner end located in and guided by the slot.

Abstract: An adjustable latch for a lockset for adjusting to either of two backset positions including a first cylindrical member having a first particular diameter. A second cylindrical member has a second diameter larger than the first diameter and with the first and second cylindrical members located in a telescopic arrangement for providing a telescopic adjustment between the cylindrical members. A first detent is interconnected between the first and second cylindrical members and has two detent positions corresponding to the two backset positions. A latch is located within the first cylindrical member. An actuating member is located without the cylindrical members at a position opposite to the latch for actuating the latch between open and closed positions. A second detent interconnects the latch and the actuating member and includes two detent positions corresponding to the two backset positions.
