ABSTRACT:
An inside lock for the latch of a camper shell or other similar structure has a housing which is fixed on the inside of a door with a bore surrounding an actuating rod extending from a lockable handle on the outside and rotatable therewith. The actuating rod, for example of square section, normally carries an actuating member which releases latch members at the periphery of the door on rotation of the handle. A removable member, for example a pin bent into a U-shape, is inserted in a transverse hole or holes in the housing, with a part of the pin abutting a surface or surfaces on the rod, preventing rotation thereof. This provides for locking the handle from rotation on the inside, even though the handle lock is released.
