  • Lock cylinder barrels are the heart of your door’s locking mechanism, making them a smart, targeted replacement when you want to refresh security without changing the entire lockset. Whether you’re updating a front entry, repairing a high-traffic commercial door or matching keys across multiple locks, Ace carries a range of rim and mortise cylinders, finishes and keying options to suit your needs.

    Different Lock Cylinder Types

    To choose the correct replacement, start by identifying the cylinder type your door uses.

    • Rim cylinders: Common on surface-mounted deadbolts and night latches. They install from the exterior side of the door and secure with through screws, making them straightforward to replace during a deadbolt upgrade or repair.
    • Mortise cylinders: Threaded cylinders used in mortise lock bodies found on many commercial and some residential doors. Select the proper cylinder length and cam style to match your lock body for smooth operation.

    How to Choose a Lock Cylinder

    A few specs will help you narrow in on a cylinder that fits and functions the way you expect.

    • Keyway compatibility: Match the new cylinder to your existing keyway so current keys work, or select a new keyway if you’re standardizing across a property.
    • Keying options: Decide whether you need cylinders keyed alike (one key for multiple locks) or keyed differently. Most cylinders also support rekeying for added convenience.
    • Security grade: Look for ANSI/BHMA grades. Grade 1 offers the highest durability and security, while Grade 2 offers reliable residential performance.
    • Finish and style: Coordinate with your existing hardware in polished brass, bronze and other finishes for a cohesive look.
    • Measurements and parts: Confirm door thickness, cylinder length and the cam or tailpiece style required. Common mortise cylinder lengths include 1 inch, 1-1/8 inch and 1-1/4 inch. For rim cylinders, check that the tailpiece length and mounting screw spacing match your existing hardware.

    When Should You Replace a Lock Cylinder?

    If you’re experiencing any of these scenarios, a new cylinder can solve the issue without replacing the entire lockset.

    • You’ve moved into a new space and want fresh keys for peace of mind.
    • Keys are sticking, the cylinder turns roughly or the key removes in positions other than neutral.
    • You’re upgrading to a higher security grade or standardizing keys across multiple entry points.
    • The finish is worn and you want to refresh curb appeal to match door knobs, levers or deadbolts.
