ABSTRACT:
A paddle lock. The paddle lock has a housing with a well, a lock with locked and unlocked positions that is attached to the housing and a cam connected to the lock with the cam having a locking portion and an unlocking portion. A cam spring biases the cam to the locking position and the lock to the locked position. A handle is movably connected to the housing between which biases the handle to the opened position flipped out of the well. An actuator is moved by the handle and has a lock position contact portion and an open position contact portion. The handle will move to the opened position where it is out of the well when the lock is open and by pushing the handle down, will cause the lock to turn to its locked position.
