A lockset is actuable by pivoting a handle about a longitudinal axis of the lockset by rotating the handle and by pivoting the handle about an axis transverse to the lockset axis, such as by pushing or pulling. The lockset includes an inside handle and an outside handle, each associated with an independent mechanism, each of which can independently actuate the lockset. A locking mechanism prevents actuation of a first one of the independent handle mechanisms without affecting operation of the other handle mechanism. Upon actuation of the other handle mechanism, a retractor engages a surface of the locking mechanism and removes it from engagement with the first locking mechanism. An adjustment ring has a first configuration that centers the lockset in a door having a first standard thickness and a second configuration that centers the lockset in a door having a second standard thickness.

A lockset as in claim 11, wherein the damping member is made of a different material than the adjustment member. 13. A lockset as in claim 11, wherein the adjustment member comprises a circumferential slot formed in the inner surface and the damping member comprises an incomplete ring that fits at least partially within the slot, and wherein the damping member is partially deformed when the adjustment member is disposed on the first housing body. 14. A lockset as in claim 8, wherein the adjustment member and the first housing body are coaxial. 15. A lockset as in claim 14, wherein an outer diameter of the adjustment member is greater than an aperture diameter of the first mount plate aperture and less than an outer diameter of the first mount plate. 16. A lockset as in claim 15, wherein the outer diameter of the adjustment member is less than an outer diameter of the first flange. 17. A lockset as in claim 1 additionally comprising a damping member interposed between an inner surface of the adjustment member and the first housing body, the damping member configured to inhibit rattle of the adjustment member on the first housing body. 18. A lockset as in claim 1, wherein the retractor assembly comprises a second housing body and a second flange that is spaced from the first flange, and the fastener comprises a cap bolt supported by the first and second flanges, the cap bolt having an elongate body portion and an elongate externally-threaded male portion, the male portion terminating at a male end, a diameter of the body portion being greater than a diameter of the male portion, the first flange having a hole sized so that the male portion extends therethrough but the body portion does not fit therethrough, the second flange having a hole sized so that the body portion fits therethrough and is rotatable within the second flange hole, the body portion having a raised stop configured so that the body portion does not fit through the second flange hole at the raised stop, and wherein a distance from the raised stop to the male end is greater than a minimum distance between the first and second flanges. 19.
