Privacy lock mechanism

A lock assembly, comprising:

• a first latch assembly portion having a first lever, a first chassis portion, and a first locking module portion, the first locking module portion having a locking shaft and a locking lug, the locking shaft having a cam protrusion, the first chassis portion including a locking slot sized to receive selective insertion of at least a portion of the locking lug;
• and
• a second latch assembly portion having a second lever, a second chassis portion, and a second locking module portion, the second locking module portion having a cam body and a slider body, the slider body having a slider arm, the second chassis portion including a retention slot sized to receive selective insertion of at least a portion of the slider arm;
• wherein linear displacement of the slider body from an unlocked position to a locked position of the slider body is translated into rotational displacement of the cam body in a first rotational direction to effectuate rotational displacement of the cam protrusion in the first rotational direction, the rotational displacement of the cam protrusion in the first rotational direction linearly displacing the locking lug in a direction that is perpendicular to a rotational axis of the locking shaft from an unlocked position of the locking lug to a locked position of the locking lug, at least a portion of the locking lug extending into the locking slot of the first chassis portion when at the locked position of the locking lug, the locking lug sized to prevent rotational displacement of the first chassis portion when at the locked position of the locking lug, at least a portion of the slider arm of the slider body extending into the retention slot in the second chassis portion when the slider body is at the locked position of the slider body;
• and
• wherein the cam body is rotatably displaceable in a second rotational direction to effectuate rotational displacement of the cam protrusion in the second rotational direction when the slider body is linearly displaced from the locked position of the slider body to the unlocked position of the slider body, the cam protrusion being disengaged from retaining the locking lug in the locked position of the locking lug by displacement of the cam body in the second rotational direction.
