Identifying Lock Cylinders

Postby EnglishRebel » 23 Apr 2011 8:09

I am about to change out all of my lock cylinders to those by BiLock but am having difficulty identifying which KIK cylinders I have. Here are photos of the two that I need to identify. Can anyone help please. There are no identifying marks anywhere on the outside of the cylinders. I did send these photos to Schlage but they said that the cylinder was not theirs but the keyway was (whatever that means). The cylinders came from Pella with the new doors and I took them to Lowes and had them re-pin them for my existing key.
Thanks
Alan

A lot of no-name brand locks use the Schlage key way, specifically the SC1, it's pretty much the most popular Schalge key way around. If you have KIK in a deadbolt housing and want to switch it to Bilock then you should just be able to insert a Bilock retrofit KIK into the housing when you take the old one out.

I couldn't see the pictures you tried to post so I can't tell you any more than that really.

Chris
I measured the KIK cylinder and according to the dimensions in this document http://www.mul-t-lockusa.com/pub/Full%20Line%20Catalog-English.pdf it is a K017 which according to the chart is a Schlage A line knob (Plymouth Design). Unfortunately that doesn't help me select a BiLock retrofit as they only list these:
    9308 Sargent Knob Cylinder
    9310 Arrow Knob & Lever Cylinder (no Tailpiece)
    9312 Yale Knob Cylinder
    9320 Schlage Knob/Lever Cylinder Fixed Tailpiece
    9322 Schlage DB Cylinder Floating Tailpiece (B160 Series)
    9324 Schlage Cylinder No Tailpiece (A, B360, B660, Open back)
    9326 Schlage Deadbolt Cylinder Floating Tailpiece (New B560 Series)
    9329 Marks Knob & Lever Cylinder with Tailpiece
So is it the 9324 as this says a Schlage A but it says no tail piece which is what mine has.
I can see the photos -- wonder why you cannot. I can email them if you like.
Thanks

It looks to me like it's either the 9322 DB cylinder, or the 9326, those are the only two Schlages listed with tail pieces...Don't quote me, maybe one of the more experienced lockies on here can be more precise with you.

Of course I wouldn't go buying a lock that expensive until you know for sure.
Sorry I can't be of any more help.

Thanks Chris
I think I'll shoot a drawing of the cylinder to SecuritySnobs.com to see if they can help.
