ABSTRACT:
A reversible latch bolt and lock bolt assembly, where the latch bolt has a spring mounted latch bolt member with a slanted contact face. The latch bolt member can be rotated 180.degree. about its horizontal lengthwise axis to position the slanted contact face in either of two orientations. An outer cover plate can be rotated about its vertical center axis to properly receive the latch bolt in either of two positions. Thus, the same latch bolt and lock bolt assembly can be utilized in a door which opens in either an inside or an outside direction. Further, the operating knobs and push buttons are made reversible so that the assembly can be arranged in four different positional combinations.
