A locking paddle handle assembly for closures has a housing with a paddle handle pivotally mounted therein, a latch which latches and unlatches the closure upon rotation of the paddle handle, and a exterior key lock with a movable member that shifts between locked and unlocked positions. A latch lock selectively engages the latch, such that when the movable key lock member is in the locked position, the latch is retained in the latched position, wherein the closure cannot be opened. A deadbolt lock selectively engages the closure frame in the locked position to positively retain the closure closed. Both the latch lock and the deadbolt lock are operably connected with the movable key lock member, such that movement of the latter between the latched and unlatched positions contemporaneously shifts both the latch lock and the deadbolt lock between the locked and unlocked positions.

1. A locking paddle handle latch assembly for closures and the like, comprising: a housing adapted for mounting adjacent an associated closure of the type that can be shifted between an open position and a closed position;a paddle handle pivotally mounted in an exterior portion of said housing for rotation between a retracted position and an extended position;a latch operably connected with said paddle handle, and configured such that when said paddle handle is in said retracted position, said latch is in a latched position, wherein the closure cannot be unintentionally shifted from the closed position, and when said paddle handle is in said extended position, said latch is in an unlatched position, wherein the closure is free to be shifted from the closed position to the open position;a key lock mounted on said exterior portion of said housing, and including a movable key lock member selectively movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, said movable key lock member comprises a cylindrical lock plug rotatably mounted in said key lock for pivoting between said locked and unlocked positions;a latch lock movably mounted in said housing, operably connected with said movable key lock member and configured such that when said movable key lock member is in said locked position, said latch lock assumes a locked position in which said latch is retained in said latched position, and when said movable key lock member is in said unlocked position, said latch lock assumes an unlocked position in which said latch is free to be shifted between said latched and unlatched positions;a deadbolt lock movably mounted in said housing for shifting between a locked position, wherein the closure is positively retained in the closed position, and an unlocked position, wherein the closure is free to be shifted between the open and closed positions; said deadbolt lock being operably connected with said movable key lock member, whereby movement of said movable key lock member between said locked and unlocked positions contemporaneously shifts both said deadbolt lock and said latch lock between said locked and unlocked positions; anda multi-arm lock cam rotatably mounted in said housing and operably connected with said lock plug for rotation therewith; said lock cam having a first crank arm operably connected with said latch lock and a second crank arm operably connected with said deadbolt lock. 2. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein: said deadbolt lock includes a deadbolt slidably mounted in said housing with an outer end thereof which extends exterior of said housing for engagement with an associated strike, an inner end thereof which extends interior of said housing, and a first link having a first end thereof pivotally connected with said inner end of said deadbolt, and a second end thereof pivotally connected with said second crank arm of said lock cam, such that rotation of said lock plug between said locked and unlocked positions longitudinally shifts said deadbolt between said locked and unlocked positions. 3. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 2, wherein: said latch lock includes a lock pawl slidably mounted in said housing with an outer end thereof engaging said latch in said locked position, an inner end oriented toward said lock cam, and a second link having a first end thereof pivotally connected with said inner end of said lock pawl and a second end thereof pivotally connected with said first crank arm of said lock cam, such that rotation of said lock plug between said locked and unlocked positions longitudinally shifts said lock pawl between said locked and unlocked positions. 4. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 3, wherein: said closure includes a power actuator; andsaid lock cam includes a third crank arm configured for operable connection with said power actuator for removably shifting said lock plug between said locked and unlocked positions. 5. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 4, wherein: said latch includes a rotary latch mounted on and moving with said housing. 6. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 5, wherein: said rotary latch includes a rotating latch member which selectively engages an associated strike, and a pivoting release member which actuates rotation of said rotating latch member. 7. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 6, wherein: said latch includes an actuator arm movably mounted in said housing, and having a first portion thereof operably connected with said paddle handle and a second portion thereof selectively engaging said release member. 8. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 7, wherein: said actuator arm is positioned a spaced apart distance from said release member in said latched position to avoid inadvertent shifting of said latch to said unlatched position. 9. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 8, including: a fixed handle operably connected with an interior portion of said housing and shaped to facilitate manually shifting the closure between the open and closed positions from an interior side of the closure; said fixed handle having a ramp-shaped leading edge to avoid interference with an adjacent sliding closure. 10. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 9, including: an interior lock actuator mounted on said interior portion of said housing, and operably connected with said lock cam for rotation therewith, such that shifting said interior lock actuator between locked and unlocked positions shifts both said deadbolt lock and said latch lock between said locked and unlocked positions. 11. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 10, wherein: said latch includes a slide movably mounted in said housing for lateral translation between latched and unlatched positions. 12. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 11, wherein: said paddle handle includes an inwardly protruding first actuator tab which pivots with said paddle handle; andsaid slide includes an exterior pocket in which a portion of said first actuator tab is received, such that rotation of said paddle handle between the retracted and extended positions laterally shifts said slide between the latched and unlatched positions. 13. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 11, including: a pivotable interior release handle having an outwardly protruding second actuator tab which pivots with said interior release handle; andsaid slide includes an interior pocket in which a portion of said outwardly protruding second actuator tab is received, such that rotation of said interior release handle between retracted and extended positions laterally shifts said slide between the latched and unlatched positions. 14. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 13, wherein: said slide includes a protruding actuator arm rigidly supported thereon; andsaid latch includes a latch actuator arm having a central portion thereof pivotally mounted on said housing, an interior end thereof slidingly connected with said actuator arm and an exterior end thereof positioned to selectively engage said pivoting release member. 15. A locking paddle handle latch assembly as set forth in claim 14, including: an adapter having a pinion supported on an interior end thereof; and wherein said slide includes a rack which mates with said pinion on said adapter.
