Abstract

Abstract A door lock comprises a reciprocatingly movable lock bolt and means for locking the lock bolt in a protruding position, for keeping the lock bolt in a withdrawn position and for operating the lock bolt either with a handle or the like or with a key operated mechanism. There is also a lock function selector for selecting a desired type of functional capacity for the lock. The lock function selector has three different setting positions, of which each determines a specific type of functional capacity for the lock. There is a setting member, preferably in a hidden position when the lock is mounted in a door, by means of which setting member the setting of the lock function selector can be restricted in order to further determine the types of function obtainable by the lock.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim 117 words
A door lock comprising a lock bolt reciprocatingly movable between a protruding locking position and a retracted inactive position, means for locking said lock bolts in its protruding position, means for keeping said lock bolt in its retracted position, means for operating said lock bolt from a handle or the like as well as by means of a key operated mechanism, and a lock function selector for setting a desired lock function, said lock selector having three different setting positions of which each determines a specific type of lock function, a setting restricting member, by means of which the setting of said lock function selector is restrictable to exclude at least one of its lock function settings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 82 words
A door lock according to claim 1, in which said lock function selector has three different setting positions arranged one after the other in the movement direction of the lock function selector, and in which said setting restricting member is adjustable for restricting the range of movement of said lock function selector, so that either one of the extreme positions of said three setting positions of the lock function selector is excludable from use by proper setting of said setting restricting member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 45 words
