A handleset having a half round spindle for operating a latch assembly when rotated from a neutral orientation, a cylinder lock having a key operated cylinder assembly which rotates a round spindle, a driving pinion mounted for rotation on the round spindle, a rack having teeth engaged with the pinion, a connector displaceable between down and up positions, a pivotal thumb piece having a lever for displacing the connector from the down position to the up position, the connector having an arcuate slot, a locking arm having an arcuate flange for location in the arcuate slot, an axially extending pin, and a central opening, the round spindle including a cam secured thereto at a location selected so that the cam will be located within the opening, the cam and the opening being selectively configured so that turning the key from the neutral orientation to the lock open position will result in the cam rotating the locking arm from a first position whereat the arcuate flange is at one end of the arcuate slot to a second position whereat the arcuate flange is at the other end of the arcuate slot, and the rack having a slot for receiving the pin, the rack slot being configured to prevent relative vertical movement between the rack and the locking arm when the locking arm is at the first position and to permit relative vertical movement between the rack and the locking arm when the locking arm is at the second position.

A handleset for operating a latch assembly comprising a half round spindle, a cylinder lock having a key operated cylinder assembly, a round spindle connected to said cylinder assembly for rotation with a key, a pinion mounted for rotation on said round spindle, said pinion and said half round spindle including interconnecting means so that rotation of said pinion will rotate said half round spindle, a rack having teeth engaged with said pinion, a connector displaceable between down and up positions, a pivotal thumb piece having a lever for displacing said connector from said down position to said up position, said connector having an arcuate slot, a locking arm having an arcuate flange for location in said arcuate slot, a projection, and a central opening, said round spindle including an actuator at a location selected so that said actuator will be located within said opening, said actuator and said opening being selectively configured so that turning the key from a neutral orientation to a lock open position will result in said actuator rotating said locking arm from a first position whereat said arcuate flange is at one end of said arcuate slot to a second position whereat said arcuate flange is at the other end of said arcuate slot, and said rack including a bumper at the bottom thereof and said locking arm having a pad selectively configured so that when said locking arm is at said neutral position said locking arm can move vertically relative to said rack so that pivoting the thumb piece will not rotate said half round spindle and so that when said locking arm is at said lock open position vertical upward movement of said locking arm will move said rack vertically so that pivoting the thumb piece will rotate said half round spindle.
