Claim:
A door lock assembly for use with a door configured to rotate between a closed position and an open position, the door lock assembly configured for interaction with a strike coupled to a door frame, the door lock assembly comprising: a latchbolt including a first member configured to engage the strike and configured to rotate with respect to the door about a first axis when the latchbolt is in an unlocked configuration, and a second member configured to engage the strike and movably coupled to the first member; and a locking mechanism operable to place the latchbolt in a locked configuration relative to the strike to generally prevent rotation of the door and the unlocked configuration to allow rotation of the door, wherein the second member moves relative to the first member from a first position, in which the second member directly engages the strike preventing the rotation of the door, to a second position, in which the first member and second member directly engage the strike preventing the rotation of the door, in response to a force applied in an opening direction to the door when the latchbolt is in the locked configuration and the door is in the closed position, and wherein the second member is coupled to the first member such that rotation of the first member about the first axis causes rotation of the second member.
