ABSTRACT:
A lockset for use in a door assembly is provided and includes an interior mechanism having a first escutcheon, a first housing, and a first retainer shield and an exterior mechanism having a second escutcheon, a second housing, and a second retainer shield. In addition, a spindle assembly is provided to interface with a latch mounted on the door assembly and allow for selective locking of the lockset. The spindle assembly is lockable in one of two rotational positions relative the first and second escutcheons when the first housing engages the first retainer shield and the second housing engages the second retainer shield. By providing rotational adjustment of the spindle assembly relative the first and second escutcheons, the lockset is able accommodate either a left or a right-handed door.
