ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a door lock assembly and method which will provide security for building owners and dwellers and will result in a reduction of property damage and loss by burglars. The door lock assembly includes a tumbler type cylinder which can be rotated by a key from the outside to lock a door or other closure to which it is fitted to a first position whereupon the handle inside the door cannot be used to unlatch the lock from the inside. Also, the door can be locked and thereafter the cylinder can be rotated by turning the key in the reverse direction whereupon the door remains locked but upon withdrawing the key the door can be opened from the inside with the handle. Thus, after locking, the key can be withdrawn in either of two cylindrical positions depending on whether the user wants the door to be able to be opened from the inside by use of the handle.
