ABSTRACT:
A lever assembly for a door lock which permits simplified assembly is provided. The lever assembly comprises a lock body cylinder, a lock shank with an inside portion and an outside portion extending from either side of the body cylinder and a series of components assembled to the outside portion of the lock shank with aligned central apertures to receive the lock shank. A retainer is operatively coupled to the body cylinder, and an annular outer plate is rigidly attached to the outside portion of the lock shank by mating internal and external threads. The retainer and annular outer plate are provided with mating elements disposed at different distances from a center point to allow for blink assembly of the two by rotation relative to one another. A leaf spring and actuator plate are coupled to the said outer plate with two outside cover pieces attached to the lever assembly. A door lever is mounted to the cover pieces and includes an inwardly directed shaft that is rigidly coupled to the actuating plate for imparting the rotation motion of the lever to the plate.
