- the latchbolt retractor actuators 26, 84 may be magnetic and the ferromagnetic element may not be a magnet.
- the ferromagnetic element 82 is, in this embodiment, press fitted into a passageway 88 of the rotatable actuator 38.
- a seat 86 in the form of a step is disposed in the passageway 88.
- the ferromagnetic element 82 fixes the position of the latchbolt retractor actuators 26,84 relative to the latchbolt retractor 12, and prevents free floating of the latchbolt retractor actuators 26,84 within the passageway 88, which could result in the latchbolt retractor actuators 26, 84 from moving out of engagement with the rotatable actuator 38 by sliding into the cavity 90, for example. Without the magnetic attraction, repeated closing and opening of a door in which the lockset is installed, for example, may move the latchbolt retractor actuators out of engagement with the rotatable actuator 38.
- Fixing the position of the latchbolt retractor actuators 26,84 relative to the latchbolt retractor allows door thickness variations to be accommodated with a smaller number of different latchbolt retractor actuator lengths, for example 2 instead of 4.
- the latchbolt retractor may be aligned with the edge bore and/or latchbolt assembly by moving the latchbolt retractor on the rails;
- the latchbolt retractor may be pulled into alignment by the latchbolt assembly
