Multi-point door lock and offset extension bolt assembly

A door assembly comprising:

• a door mounted within a door frame, wherein the door includes a lock edge and an interior portion spaced from the lock edge and having a channel within the interior portion, the channel extending from adjacent the door frame to proximate a central lock unit;
• the central lock unit having a housing mounted within the door, a movable actuator member having a first portion located within the housing and a second portion extending out of the housing adjacent the lock edge, and an internal mechanism contained within the housing and operably connected to the actuator member to move the actuator member along an axis of movement between an extended position and a retracted position;
• an extension bolt having an elongated body extending along an extension bolt axis, the extension bolt extending through the channel between the door frame;
• and
• an adaptor having a body portion residing between a first end and a second end, the first end of the adaptor directly connected to the actuator member, and the second end of the adaptor directly connected to the extension bolt, wherein the body portion has a length extending generally transverse to the extension bolt axis to displace the extension bolt axis a distance away from the actuator axis.

A kit for assembling an adaptable door lock assembly for installation in a door for locking the door to a door frame, the kit comprising:

• a central lock unit adapted to be installed in the door, the lock unit having a movable actuator member with an axis of movement between an extended position and a retracted position;
• a first extension bolt and a second extension bolt alternately connectable to the actuator;
• and
• an adaptor body having a first end and a second end separated by a length, the first end being connectable to the second extension bolt,
• wherein the first extension bolt is connectable to the actuator such that when the lock assembly is installed in the door, the first extension bolt extends along a first bolt axis in substantial alignment with the axis of movement of the actuator, and
• wherein the second extension bolt is connectable to the actuator by connecting the second extension bolt to the first end of the adaptor body and connecting the second end of the adaptor body to the actuator, such that when the lock assembly is installed in the door, the second extension bolt extends along a second bolt axis, the adaptor body spacing the second bolt axis a distance away from the axis of movement of the actuator, the length of the adaptor body defining the distance the second bolt axis is spaced from the axis of the actuator.
