Abstract
A lock with replaceable modules includes a first part and a second part which is connected to the first part. The lock has a latch bolt recess, a restriction recess and a deadbolt recess so as to selectively install a latch bolt, a restriction bolt and a deadbolt. A lock block is selectively installed in the restriction recess. The lock includes an installation slot which can be selectively oriented in different directions, and a core recess for receiving the deadbolt. The lock is selectively installed with different components by features of modularization and normalization so as to reduce inventory pressure. The customers may install the lock to entrance doors, gate doors, storage room doors, emergency doors, room doors, bathroom doors or the like.

- and
- a core recess defined in a distal end of an X-axis of the deadbolt recess and communicating with the installation recess,
- wherein the deadbolt recess includes a first guiding slot defined in a wall thereof,
- wherein the core recess includes:
- a second guiding slot defined in a wall thereof,
- a third positioning wall on a top thereof, the third positioning wall including the first positioning portion located at a top thereof and a second positioning portion formed on a bottom thereof,
- a fourth positioning wall which is located corresponding to one end of the third positioning wall,
- an elongate groove defined in one end of the fourth positioning wall, and
- a core hole defined through an inner bottom and located along a Z-axis thereof,
- wherein the latch bolt recess includes a latch bolt which includes a head, a passive member and a spring, the passive member being fixed to the head, and the spring biasing the passive member,
- wherein, when in a closed position, the spring extends to protrude the head out from the case, and when in an opened position, the spring is compressed so that the head does not protrude out from the case,
- wherein the installation recess includes a top rotation member and a bottom rotation member, the top rotation member and the bottom rotation member overlapping with each other without driving each other,
- wherein the top rotation member includes a first transmission member, a first hole located corresponding to the installation hole, and a first contact portion,
- wherein the bottom rotation member includes a second transmission member, a second hole which is located corresponding to the installation hole, and a second contact portion,
- wherein the first positioning portion includes a first resilient member which biases the first contact portion and the second contact portion,
- wherein, when the first transmission member is rotated, the first contact portion compresses the first resilient member and pushes the passive member so that the spring is compressed and the head does not protrude out from the case,
- wherein, when the second transmission member is rotated, the second contact portion compresses the first resilient member and pushes the passive member so that the spring is compressed and the head does not protrude out from the case, and
- wherein, when in the closed position, the first resilient member bounces back and contacts the first contact portion and the second contact portion, and the first transmission member and the second transmission plate do not contact the passive member.
