Abstract:
1. A lock comprising: a drive adapted for movement from a first vertical position to a second vertical position; a locking element connected to the drive, the locking element adapted for movement from a retracted position to an extended position upon movement of the drive from the first vertical position to the second vertical position, wherein the locking element is adapted to engage a keeper when the locking element is in the extended position; a bar slide adapted for movement from a first horizontal position to a second horizontal position, wherein the bar slide is adapted to be actuated by a movement of a lever arm, and wherein the bar slide defines a first opening having a first backset and a second opening having a second backset, wherein each of the first opening and second opening are configured to receive a lever arm pin; and a transmission for coupling movement of the bar slide with movement of the drive, whereby the movement of the lever arm is such that a first movement of the lever arm in a first direction causes the locking element to engage with the keeper, and a second movement of the lever arm in a second direction causes the locking element to disengage from the keeper.
