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.

1. A method of installing a lockset, comprising: determining whether a door has a first width or a second width;moving an adjustment member relative to a retractor assembly housing so that the adjustment member is in a first position relative to the retractor assembly housing in which a first seat of the adjustment member is engaged with an engagement surface of the retractor assembly housing if the door has the first width and the adjustment member is in a second position relative to the retractor assembly housing in which a second seat of the adjustment member is engaged with the engagement surface of the retractor assembly housing if the door has the second width, wherein a distance between a reference point on the engagement surface of the retractor assembly housing and a blocking side of the adjustment member is a first distance when the adjustment member is in the first position and a second distance when the adjustment member is in the second position, moving the adjustment member comprising sliding the adjustment member longitudinally and rotatably over the retractor assembly housing;advancing a first mount plate over the retractor assembly housing so that the first mount plate abuts the blocking side of the adjustment member, a wall disposed between the first seat and the second seat blocking movement of the adjustment member from the first position to the second position when the first mount plate abuts the blocking side;advancing the retractor assembly housing through a door mount hole so that the first mount plate engages a first door surface at and adjacent the door mount hole;advancing a second mount plate over the retractor assembly housing so that the second mount plate engages a second door surface opposite the first door surface; andconnecting the first mount plate and second mount plate so that the retractor assembly housing is supported within the door mount hole. 2. A method as in claim 1, wherein a retractor assembly attached to the retractor assembly housing is supported generally centered within the door mount hole. 3. A method as in claim 2, wherein the first seat and the second seat are at discrete positions separated by the wall, and the difference between the first distance and the second distance is half the difference between the first width and the second width. 4. A method as in claim 3, wherein the adjustment member is ring-shaped and has a plurality of first seats and a plurality of second seats, each first seat lying in a first seat plane, each second seat lying in a second seat plane, and the blocking side lying in a blocking side plane, the first seat plane, second seat plane and blocking side plane being parallel to one another. 5. A method as in claim 4, wherein the retractor assembly housing comprises a plurality of lugs, and moving the adjustment member so that the adjustment member is in the first position comprises moving the adjustment member rotatably so that the plurality of lugs are aligned with the plurality of first seats and moving the adjustment member longitudinally so that the plurality of lugs are engaged by the plurality of first seats, the engagement surface being defined on one of the plurality of lugs. 6. A method as in claim 5, wherein each of the plurality of lugs comprises a lug engagement surface, and each of the lug engagement surfaces lies in a lug engagement plane, each first seat engaging a corresponding one of the lug engagement surfaces. 7. A method as in claim 6, wherein the retractor assembly housing has a longitudinal axis, and each of the plurality of lugs is elongated in a longitudinal direction. 8. A method as in claim 1, wherein the first mount plate is secured to the retractor assembly housing and abutting the blocking side of the adjustment member, and the adjustment member is in the first position, and wherein if it is determined that the door has the second width, the step of moving the adjustment member comprises releasing the first mount plate from the retractor assembly housing, moving the first mount plate out of contact with the adjustment member, and moving the adjustment member over the retractor assembly housing from the first position to the second position. 9. A method as in claim 8, wherein connecting the first mount plate and the second mount plate comprises securing the second mount plate to the retractor assembly housing and securing the first mount plate to the retractor assembly housing. 10. A method as in claim 9, wherein securing the first mount plate to the retractor assembly housing comprises threading a male end of a first cap bolt with a first boss of the first mount plate so that a first stop of the first cap bolt engages a first flange of the retractor assembly housing. 11. A method as in claim 10, wherein when threading the first cap bolt with the first boss, a second cap bolt is supported by the first flange and a second flange of the retractor assembly housing so that a second stop of the second cap bolt engages the second flange of the retractor assembly housing and a male end of the second cap bolt is positioned within a hole of the first flange. 12. A method as in claim 8, wherein moving the adjustment member from the first position to the second position comprises sliding the adjustment member longitudinally over the retractor assembly housing to disengage the first seat from the engagement surface, rotating the adjustment member to align the second seat with the engagement surface, and sliding the adjustment member longitudinally over the retractor assembly housing to engage the second seat with the engagement surface. 13. A method as in claim 1, wherein the adjustment member is generally ring-shaped, and additionally comprising allowing a damping member disposed between the adjustment member and the retractor assembly housing to inhibit the adjustment member from sliding over the retractor assembly housing before advancing the first mount plate to abut the blocking side of the adjustment member.
