(54)	Method of assembling a lock

(57) A method for assembling operating devices for a lock case intended for a door or the like so as to be operable, whereby the operating devices include at least one bolt member and a turnable displacement device for the bolt member. The operating devices are moulded, preferably by injection moulding, of plastics material as a one piece moulding (1) including a body element (2) having parts jointly defining a basic plane and to which the operating devices are connected by breakable connection members or connection points (A-J). At least some of the operating devices are moulded to be at least somewhat in at least one separate plane relative to the basic plane of the body element. In order to assemble the operating devices so as to be operable, the moulding is pressed so that at least some of said connection members or connection points (A-J) are broken and the operating devices are moved to be located in the same basic plane with the body element (2).
