Lock terminology

[riskadverse]

I'm having some trouble finding the correct terminology in identifing (naming) the parts of the locks I'm working on. Maybe someone can help me. I have a standard baldwin deadbolt that I am replacing with a older standard schlage assembly modified with a schlage everest cylinder. The schlage assembly has a interchangable cylinder in which I am substituting the everest cylinder. The baldwin is an "all in one" assembly ie: it doesn't allow for replacement of the cylinder so I can't swap in the everest cylinder. So . . . then talking to a locksmith about the various parts, what are the correct names for:

1. The "all in one" baldwin cylinder (1.25" diameter).
2. The interchangable portion of the schlage (standard or everest) 5/8" diameter with riser containing springs and pins.
3. The schlage outer assembly that the above piece inserts into (1.25" diameter with cutout and retaining screw.

That's so funny, I gave you the wrong link. Try this one for the common terms. http://www.lockpicking101.com/viewtopic.php?t=1069

The part the key slides into is the plug. The plug rotates inside the cylinder. The cylinder can also be called the bible. The part the cylinder goes into is the lock body or housing.

Some like the Baldwin have the cylinder built into the housing or body.

The part that pokes out the end of the door is the bolt on a deadbolt and a latch on a door knob. The part on the frame the bolt or latch goes into is the strike. The metal part around the strike is the strike plate.

Most do not refer to cylinders as interchangeable because interchangeable is usually used when talking about interchangeable cores. Replaceable is an accepted term though.
