A lock sub-assembly for a lock which is mainly situated at an exterior side of the lock. The lock sub-assembly comprises an exterior hub configured to rotate together with an exterior long handle and be fixed to an exterior side of a lock chassis, a handle spindle rotatably received within the exterior hub, a restricting block fixedly secured within the exterior hub, the restricting block disposed to. effectuate a limited turning movement of the handle spindle with respect to the exterior hub, an actuating spindle extending through both the restricting block and the handle spindle and having a roll-back portion adapted to operate a retractor, and a mechanism for releasably coupling the actuating spindle to the handle spindle. With this construction, when the actuating spindle and the handle spindle are not rotatably coupled together, the exterior long handle together with the handle spindle performs such a turning movement that no other constituting elements are affected thereby.
