A rose locking mechanism developed with a hybrid lock architecture for a door designed to incorporate the functionality of a cylindrical lock architecture with the ease of installation of a tubular lock architecture is provided by the present invention. The hybrid lock architecture comprises a chassis assembly having an inside chassis assembly and an outside chassis assembly that are telescopically engaged to accommodate different door widths. A door latch assembly is operably connected to the chassis assembly for retroaction and extension of a bolt. A handle is mounted on a spindle on either side of the chassis assembly wherein rotational motion imparted on one of the handles is converted to linear motion within the chassis assembly in order to retract the bolt of the door latch assembly. The inside chassis assembly includes a rose locking mechanism positioned radially outward of said inside spindle.

1. A rose locking mechanism for use in a lock assembly attached to a door comprising:a lock assembly comprising a chassis assembly having a slide linearly displaceable between retracted and extended positions and a rotatable member, the rotatable member being directly engageable with the slide such that rotation of the member displaces the slide between the retracted and extended positions, a latch assembly operably connected to the slide for retraction and extension of a bolt such that slide displaces the latch assembly to displace the bolt when the rotatable member displaces the slide, an inside handle operably connected to said chassis assembly, an outside handle operably connected to said chassis assembly, and an inside rose attached to said chassis assembly; and a push lock bar having an intermediate portion between a first and a second end, the intermediate portion being engageable with the rotatable member so as to prevent rotation of the outside handle, wherein said first end protrudes at least partially through said inside rose, wherein said intermediate portion is captured within said chassis assembly, and wherein said intermediate portion includes a first cam portion engageable by the slide such that when the slide moves from the extended position to the retracted position, the slide pushes the lock bar to displace axially so as to disengage the intermediate portion from the rotatable member, said axial motion of said push lock bar being perpendicular to a direction of said linear motion of said slide, and a second cam portion which enables linear motion along an axis of a door latch to be converted into axial motion of said push bar from a locked position when said push lock bar is depressed while the bolt is retracted. 2. The rose locking mechanism of claim 1 further comprising a rose lock catch component which engages one of a plurality of depressions on said push lock bar to retain said push lock bar in a selected axial position within said chassis assembly.3. The rose locking mechanism of claim 1, wherein rotation of said inside handle of said chassis assembly causes said push lock bar to move axially from a locked position to an unlocked position and causes retraction of said bolt.4. The rose locking mechanism of claim 1, wherein said chassis assembly includes an aperture allowing access for manually moving said push lock bar from a locked position to an unlocked position.5. The rose locking mechanism of claim 1, wherein said door latch assembly comprises a restore member such that depression of said bolt disengages said rose locking mechanism from a locked position to an unlocked position.6. A rose locking mechanism for use in a lock assembly attached to a door, the lock assembly including a displaceable slide configured to alternatively retract and extend a latch bolt, the locking mechanism comprising:a push lock bar having an intermediate portion between a first and a second end, wherein said first end protrudes at least partially through an inside rose of said lock assembly, wherein said intermediate portion is captured within a chassis assembly of said lock assembly, wherein said intermediate portion includes a first cam portion engageable by the slide such that when the slide moves from the extended position to the retracted position, the slide pushes the lock bar to displace axially, the axial motion of said push lock bar being perpendicular to a direction of said linear motion of said slide; and wherein said intermediate portion of said push locking bar includes a second cam portion which enables linear motion along an axis of a door latch to be converted into axial motion of said push bar from a locked position when said push lock bar is depressed while the bolt is retracted. 7. The rose locking mechanism of claim 6 further comprising a push lock bar catch component biasing said push lock bar in a selected axial position within said lock assembly.
