Disclosed herein is an improved door latching device which is generally composed of two sections which are hingedly connected to each other, one section including a latch plate and a first control mechanism, the first control mechanism being capable of causing the latch plate to assume a non-latched condition, a half-latched condition or a full-latched condition, the other section including a second control mechanism and a third control mechanism, the second control mechanism being capable of transmitting the movement of the door inside handle to the first control mechanism, the third control mechanism being capable of disabling the second control mechanism from transmitting the movement from the door inside handle to the first control mechanism. With the hinge portion, the two sections are openable to assume a substantially flat configuration thereby to facilitate the mounting of parts to the casings of them.

In an arrangement having a door, a door latching device mounted on said door to latch the same to a fixed member, an inside handle mounted on an inboard side of said door, for producing a first movement, and for releasing said latching device when handled, and a locking device mounted on said door for locking said latching device when handled, said door latching device comprising: a latch section including a first casing having a backside and containing therein a latch plate and first control means for causing said latch plate to assume a first nonlatched condition and a second full-latched condition; a control section including a second casing having a back side and containing therein second control means and third control means, said second control means comprising means for transmitting the movement of said inside handle to said first control means, said third control means comprising means for disabling said second control means from transmitting the movement from said inside handle to said first control means; and hinge means for hingedly connecting the casing of said latch section to the casing of said control section so that said latch section and said control section are openable to assume a substantially flat configuration.
