ABSTRACT:
A single handleset 10 with an adjustable retracting mechanism 11 includes a handle 20 and thumbpiece 32 which operates a rack 48. A pinion 70 is in mesh engagement with rack 48 at all times. A spindle 84 is connectable to pinion 70 in either of two positions determined by the righthand or lefthand orientation of a door 18 to which assembly 10 is mounted. Spindle 84 is adjustable without decoupling pinion 70 from rack 48 to insure proper orientation of the spindle relative to the pinion for effective operation of a latchbolt assembly 140.
A double handleset 210 with the adjustable latch retracting mechanism 11 includes a pair of handle units 212 and 234 and also provides the versatility of adjusting spindle 84 independently of pinions 70 to accommodate either a righthand or lefthand orientation.
