FRONT LOADED CYLINDER FOR DOOR LOCKSET

摘要

A door lockset (20) includes a front loaded cylinder lock (75) which is assembled with an insert (64) within a knob (62). Cylinder lock (75) includes a locking bar (104) which is biased toward a central opening (83) formed through a body (76) of the lock. A plug (80) is located within opening (83) and is rotatable therein. A removal key (108) is formed with a slot (240) which is alignable with a plug slot (109) when the key is inserted into a key slot (113) of the plug. Plug (80) is thereafter rotated within opening (83) to align locking bar (104) with plug slot (109) and key slot (240) whereby the bar moves into the slots under the biasing action of a spring (106). Cylinder lock (75) can then be removed from the front of insert (64) and knob (62). A reverse process is followed to load cylinder lock (75) into opening (238) and to retain the lock with insert (64.
