ABSTRACT:
The assembly has an auxiliary bolt which is pivotably mounted in a housing. The bolt is captively journalled by a removable bracket which has a pair of recesses on opposite sides thereof. A shaft integral with the bolt sets in one pair of the recesses, to effect one handed operation of the assembly, and with optional setting of the shaft in the other pair of recesses, the assembly is oppositely handed. The assembly is simply bolted to a faceplate; consequently, by removing such bolts, and removing the bracket, the bolt can be replaced or reversed in its handed disposition. An override spring is provided to protect the assembly from damage, in the event that the associated flushbolt fails to enter the strike or recess provided therefor; the spring allows the auxiliary bolt to fully retract, even through the flushbolt translation is inadequate.
