HANDLESET

A handleset is basically a combination passage lock and deadbolt. The handle is commonly operated by depressing a thumbpiece. The handle is usually a passage function with a springlatch, though there are some that are entry function with a second lock cylinder that locks or unlocks the thumbpiece. Some, typically older, mortise lock handlesets have a single mortise cylinder that operates both the deadbolt and the latch.
