Claim Text:
1. A lock system for a door comprising: at least one elongated member adapted to axially and vertically translate in the door so as to be moved in and out of engagement with a lock catch of a door frame; a lock mechanism adapted to be received in a mortise defined in a depth of the door, the depth of the door extending in a direction perpendicular to a vertical direction along which the at least one elongated member translates, the lock mechanism having a handle actuatable to displace at least one driver such that the at least one driver is movable in translation; and a depth adjustment adaptor for said at least one elongated member, the depth adjustment adaptor comprising an interface releasably connected to the at least one elongated member, and a joint with at least one degree of freedom, the joint being connected to the interface and allowing movement of the interface in the direction in which the depth of the door extends to adjust a position of the interface relative to the at least one driver and to a lateral surface of the door, the position of the interface is adjusted by movement of a portion of the interface relative to the at least one driver in the at least one degree of freedom, the depth adjustment adaptor connecting the at least one driver to the at least one elongated member such that actuation of the handle displaces the at least one driver which in turn causes the axial and vertical translation of the at least one elongated member, wherein the interface includes a carriage with a cavity for receiving a free end of the at least one elongated member, the carriage having an abutment slidingly moving within a slot on the at least one driver to form the joint.
