(54) | Auxiliary bolt arrangement in a door lock |
(57) An auxiliary bolt arrangement in a door lock comprising a lock casing (1), which
is provided with a latch bolt (3) spring-loaded to a protruding position and with
an auxiliary bolt (5) spring-loaded to a protruding position for controlling the operation
of the latch bolt and in which the latch bolt (3) has at least two different protruding
positions with different extent of protrusion, whereby the auxiliary bolt arrangement
is adapted to control the latch bolt (3) so that it allows the movement of the latch
bolt (3) to its outermost protruding position only in case both the latch bolt (3)
and the auxiliary bolt (5) are first moved into their retracted positions in the lock
casing (1). The auxiliary bolt arrangement includes a restraining member (9), which
the auxiliary bolt (5) in its protruding position is arranged to press against the
force of a spring (10) to a position, in which the restraining member (9) prevents
the movement of the latch bolt (3) to its outermost protruding position. In addition,
the latch bolt (3) is adapted to retain the restraining member (9) in said position,
if solely the auxiliary bolt (5) is being pressed inside the lock casing (1).
