A versatile operating mechanism for a two-point latch or lock includes a “front”module having a flush-mountable handle and housing assembly that can be connected by simple fasteners to a “rear”module having a mounting bracket that movably supports linkage including an operating arm A pair of latch assemblies are connected to and operated by the mounting-bracket-mounted linkage. In preferred practice, rotary latch assemblies are used that each employs a single rotary jaw that is releasably retained in its latched position by a rotary pawl, with the latch having a pair of spaced housing side plates that sandwich the rotary jaw and the rotary pawl, with the side plates defining aligned first and second U-shaped notches that cooperate with a third U-shaped notch formed in the rotary jaw for concurrently receiving and latchingly retaining within the confines of the first, second and third U-shaped notches a suitably configured strike formation, with housing side plate portions that define a selected one of the first and second U-shaped notches being rigidified and strengthened by the close proximity presence of a flange 1) that is formed integrally with side plate portions that define the selected notch and 2) that extends transversely to bridge between the housing side plates at a location near the first and second U-shaped notches. The operating mechanism may be “locked”by positioning a movable locking member to extend into a path of movement of the operating arm to selectively permit and prevent movement of the operating arm along a path of movement.

A flush-mountable, handle-operable latch operating mechanism for mounting on a closure and for being connected by a first linkage to a first remotely located closure-mounted latch assembly that is engageable with a first strike, and by a second linkage to a second remotely located latch assembly that is engageable with a second strike for releasably retaining the closure in a closed position, comprising: a) flush-mountable front assembly means for mounting as a first modular assembly on a closure adjacent a mounting opening that is formed through a front wall of the closure, including: i) first housing means including a pan-shaped housing for mounting on the closure adjacent the mounting opening, including a one-piece housing that defines: A) mounting flange means for defining a front wall of the pan-shaped housing, including a mounting flange that is configured 1) to extend perimetrically about the closure\s mounting opening, 2) to closely overlie portions of a front surface of the closure\s front wall that extend perimetrically about the mounting opening, and 3) to be clamped toward engagement with said portions of the closure\s front surface to substantially flush-mount the pan-shaped housing on the closure; B) side walls and a back wall that cooperate to define a forwardly-facing recess, 1) with the side walls being configured to extend forwardly and rearwardly through the closure\s mounting opening when the mounting flange closely overlies said portions of the closure\s front surface, 2) the side walls having front portions that join smoothly with and are perimetrically surrounded by the mounting flange, 3) the side walls having rear portions that join smoothly with portions of the back wall, 4) with said portions of the back wall being configured to extend substantially parallel to the front wall of the pan-shaped housing, 5) with said portions of the back wall having a front surface that faces forwardly into the recess and a rearwardly-facing back surface on the opposite side thereof, and 6) with a main back wall opening formed through said portions of the back wall; ii) handle means including an operating handle that is at least partially nested within the recess, and that is connected to the first housing means for movement relative to the pan-shaped housing between a non-operated position and an operated position; iii) projection means connected to the handle and extending rearwardly through the opening formed in the back wall for being moved by movement of the handle 1) such that, when the handle is in the non-operated position, the projection means is caused by its connection to the handle to be in a first position, such that, 2) when the handle is moved from the non-operated position to the operated position, the projection means is caused by such movement to move from the first position to a second position, and such that, 3) when the handle is moved from the operated position to the non-operated position, the projection means is caused by such movement to move from the second position to the first position; b) rear assembly means for mounting as a second modular assembly on the closure, for being connected to the front assembly means to clampingly draw the mounting flange toward engagement with said portions of the closure\s front surface to securely mount the rotary latch on the closure, including: i) mounting bracket means including a mounting bracket having a rear wall for overlying at least a portion of the back surface of the back wall of the pan-shaped housing, for bridging at least a portion of the closure\s mounting opening at a location behind the back surface of the closure\s front wall, for being fastener-connected to the front assembly means, and for defining back-surface engaging means for being clamped toward engagement with the back surface of the closure\s front wall when the mounting flange of the first housing means is being clamped toward engagement with said portions of the closure\s front surface; ii) said mounting bracket means having a projection receiving opening formed therethrough, through which said projection means extends when said back-surface engaging means is fastener-connected to the front assembly means, with said projection receiving opening having a first end and an opposed second end, and with said projection receiving opening further being configured such that, 1) when said projection means is in said first position, a rearwardly projecting part of said projection means is located near said first end, and such that, 2) when said projection means is in said second position, the rearwardly projecting part of said projection means is located near said second end; iii) a lever-type link pivotally connected to the mounting bracket, and having opposed first and second end formation means for being connected to first and second linkages to concurrently move the first and second linkages to concurrently operate first and second latch mechanisms, respectively; and, iv) an operating arm pivotally connected to the mounting bracket and to the elongate lever-type link for pivoting the lever-type link relative to the mounting bracket, with a designated part of the operating arm extending into engagement with said rearwardly projecting part of the projection means for being moved by the rearwardly projecting part of the projection means for transmitting motion from the projection means through the operating arm to the lever-type link to move the first and second linkages to concurrently operate the first and second latch mechanisms in response to the rearwardly projecting means being moved due to movement of the operating handle from the non-operated position to the operated position; and, c) fastener means for connecting and clamping toward each other the housing means and the mounting bracket means to thereby clamp the back-surface engaging means of the mounting bracket toward a position of engagement with the back surface of the closure\s front wall, and to clamp the mounting flange of the pan-shaped housing toward a position of engagement with said portions of the closure\s front surface.
