What is a cylindrical lock?
Cylindrical Locks: a bored lockset whose latch or bolt locking mechanism is contained in the portion installed through the cross-boreMedium, high to extra heavy duty
Commercial, multi-family and institutional applications
Pros - Heavy duty, unlimited cylinder options
Cons - Large rose (larger footprint on face of door), limited lever designs
Cylindrical locks with levers usually require a spring cage to lift the lever and keep it horizontal. These spring cages lead to a bigger rose (circular, finished plate against the door) – typically around 3.5 inches in diameter. Knob designs do not require this extra spring force and these roses usually have a diameter around 2.5 inches.
