Abstract

Provided is a push-pull door lock capable of selecting a lever work direction which may be installed without needing to coincide a door opening direction with the lever work direction by driving a driving unit during both a push operation and a pull operation of a lever coupled to each of housings of a front surface and a rear surface of a door to unlock a lock mechanism received in the door. The push-pull door lock includes: a lever that is provided on a front surface of each of housings, which are respectively coupled to an inside and an outside of a door by supports, to pivot in a front-and-back direction and has a protruding portion protruding toward a door; and a selection member that is provided on a rear surface of the housing and limits a pivoting range of the protruding portion in order to select a push operation or a pull operation of the lever.

Claims (12)

1. A push-pull door lock capable of selecting a lever work direction, the push-pull door lock comprising:

a housing disposed on one side or the other side of a door;

a lever pivotally supported on the housing to be pushed toward or pulled from the door, the lever including a protruding portion integrally formed with the lever and protruding toward inside the housing, the protruding portion moving in a first direction substantially perpendicular to pushing direction of the lever when the lever is pushed and in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the lever is pulled; and

a driving unit disposed inside the housing and operatively connected to the protruding portion;

a lock mechanism installed in the door and operatively connected to the driving unit, the lock mechanism being unlocked when the lever is both pushed and pulled;

a selection member disposed inside the housing and operatively connected to the protruding portion, the selection member having a first selection position and a second selection position, wherein one of the first selection position and the second selection position can be selected when the housing is installed in the door so that the lever can be only pushed or pulled, and wherein the selection member includes a hole into which the protruding portion is inserted, the hole having a first edge to prevent the protruding portion from moving in the second direction at the first selection position and a second edge to prevent the protruding portion from moving in the first direction at the second selection position.

2. The push-pull door lock of claim 1 , wherein the hole includes a first selection hole having the first edge and a second selection hole having the second edge.

3. The push-pull door lock of claim 2 , wherein the first selection hole and the second selection hole are open to each other.

4. The push-pull door lock of claim 1 , further comprising a support plate disposed inside the housing, wherein the selection member is fixedly disposed on one side of the support plate at the first selection position or at the second selection position.

5. The push-pull door lock of claim 4 , wherein the driving unit includes a movable member having an insertion groove into which the protruding portion is inserted, the movable member slides on the other side of the support plate.

6. The push-pull door lock of claim 1 , wherein a key input unit is provided on the housing that is located in an exterior.
