The clutch unit has an external driving member, two driving plates mounted at two sides of the external driving member, an internal driving member rotatably mounted in the external driving member, and a clutch pin movably disposed in the external driving member between an engaging position to allow synchronous rotation of the external and internal driving members, and a disengaged position to allow idle rotation of the internal driving member. The external driving member is rotated to actuate the dead bolt unit to switch to an unlatched position.
