ABSTRACT:
A snib mechanism for a door latch assembly includes a body, and a rotary member disposed in or on the body and adapted to be engaged and rotated with a door knob spindle. A snib member is mounted on the body for movement between a snibbing position in which the first rotary member is snibbed against rotation and a freeing position in which the first rotary member is free to rotate with the door knob spindle. The body includes a cover plate and the mechanism further includes press-button means associated with the snib member. The press-button means is exposed through an opening in the cover plate and is manually operable by pressing inwardly of the cover plate to set the snib member at the snibbing position.
