Lock Types Requirements for specific fixing of locksets to ensure maximum security has resulted in the following categories of lock types.
A. Cylinder Rim Locks A cylinder rim lock is mounted to the inside surface of the door, with the key operated cylinder being mounted from the outside. Examples of cylinder rim locks are:
Deadlatch
Deadlock
Nightlatch
Streamlatch
Streamlock
B. Key in Knob/Lever In this instance the knob or handle is mounted to the door surface with the lock or latch inserted into the edge of the door. Locksets applicable are:
Key in lever lockset
Key in knob lockset
C. Tubular Deadbolt This device has a tubular shaped case requiring a bored (round) hole rather than a chiselled rectangular mortice. This application applies to Deadbolts.
D. Cylinder Mortice Lock A mortice lock is designed to be recessed into the edge of the door rather than being mounted to its surface. Door furniture designed primarily for use with mortice locks are usually mounted on a plate or rose. The selection available offers flexibility to mix and match to suit the aesthetics of every application.
