An outer operational device (13) for a door lock includes cover (20) receiving a sliding block (511) and a handle (197) operatively connected to the sliding block (511). The sliding block (511) includes a sliding groove (525) having a horizontal section (528) slideably receiving a locking member (541). A driving member (44) is fixed to a connection member (595) in the cover (20) and is operatively connected to a latch (124). When the locking member (541) is in a first position, pivotal movement of the handle (197) drives the sliding block (511) to actuate the connection member (595) and the driving member (44) to retract the latch (124). When the locking member (541) is in the second position, the sliding block (511) is moved without actuating the connection member (595) when handle (197) is pivoted, and the latch (124) remains in the latching position.
