Abstract:
A door lock assembly, comprising:a housing; a paddle pivoting mounted on the housing for movement between a normally closed position and an open position; a slide actuator mounted on the housing and being operatively connected to the paddle for movement between first and second positions; a pivot plate pivotally mounted on the housing and being operatively connected to a door latch; a lock actuator operatively connected to the pivot plate, the lock actuator being movable between unlocked and locked positions; the slide actuator operatively engaging the pivot plate when the lock actuator is in the unlocked position whereby movement of the paddle to the open position slides the slide actuator to the second position and pivots the pivot plate to release the door latch; and the slide actuator disengaging the pivot plate when the lock actuator is in the locked position whereby movement of the paddle to the open position slides the slide actuator to the second position without pivoting the pivot plate such that the door latch is not opened.
