Cylindrical locksets are the type of locks found on doors in most commercial buildings. They’re inexpensive, easy to install and replace, and can conveniently be rekeyed. However, selecting the proper lockset function can sometimes be confusing, especially when faced with so many options. The following information is designed to help you with choosing the correct lockset for your specific application.
The most common lockset functions are non-keyed and keyed, and the graphics and additional information below feature both functions. They’re explained based on standard A156.2 from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which should be universal across several manufacturers. There may be several other functions available, but these are the most common, as found in many commercial and residential applications.
