Abstract: A door latch and lock mechanism especially for storm doors and screen doors, having a latch and a lock bolt. The latch can be retracted from the outside by a button which pushes a plunger in a lengthwise direction. When the plunger is rotated in one direction it will lock the latch in the latched position and also extend the locking bolt to its locked position. When the plunger is rotated in the opposite direction, the latch is released and the bolt is retracted. The plunger is rotated in one direction or the other from the outside of the door by a key operated mechanism spaced from the push button and operatively connected to the plunger by connecting links.

Abstract: A latch and lock mechanism having a pivoted latch and means for retracting the latch. A dead bolt is also provided. A rotatable bolt actuator has a pin and slot connection with the bolt to move the bolt to its extended, locking position. The bolt actuator also has means for simultaneously blocking retraction of the latch to provide in effect a double dead bolt lock.

Abstract: Extending a dead bolt into a locked position turns a crank that releases a lock release plate from an unlocked position which in turn releases a slide. Upon its release, the slide responds to springs and forces a tooth into a notch of an actuator to lock a latch bolt. To unlock the latch bolt and the dead bolt, the dead bolt can be directly retracted, whereupon the crank engages the lock release plate to move it back to its unlocked position. The lock release plate during this travel picks up the slide and withdraws the tooth from the actuator, freeing the latch bolt assembly. When locked, the latch bolt and the dead bolt can be simultaneously unlocked by rotation of an inside operator which produces rotation of a double-lobed cam. One lobe of the cam moves the slide against the force of the springs sufficiently to clear the tooth from the actuator.

Abstract: A two-bolt lockset simultaneously locks and unlocks in response to a single action by an operator, such as a key and cylinder. A deadbolt couples to such an operator to project and lock or retract and unlock. A crank also responds to the locking of the deadbolt to move a slide that engages and locks an actuator of the second bolt, a latch bolt, to lock the latch bolt. The slide is biased away from the latch bolt so that upon retraction of the deadbolt and corresponding motion of the crank, the slide is freed of the crank and moves out of engagement with the actuator. Preferably, the slide is carried by a retractor so that both locks clear by the single turn of a single inside operator. The retractor responds to a retractor cam attached to the inside operator to translate. The slide moves out of engagement with the actuator upon such movement and forces the crank to withdraw the deadbolt.
