Couldn't open the links, on this cafe computer, Just want to say, Im familiar with the very strong Adams Rite mortise bolt mechanisms, but I have never seen a cylinder with the name on it. Usually around here, the locks have a Kawneer cylinder, and Im pretty sure Kawneer is a maker of aluminum door frames and hardware, as the cylinders usually have an aluminum cap that is anodized the same brown color at the door frame.

Curiously, I don't think I have ever seen anyone mention Kawneer locks on this site, they are very common here, and the cylinders are often available in second hand use, after some locksmith replaces them with higer security locks. Kawneer is usually a simple but well made five pin lock, no tricks.
