Lockwood 3541 Short Backset Sliding Door Lock - No Cylinders - With Fabricator Strike - Satin Chrome
The Lockwood 3541RRSCNCYLLS is a short backset swing-bolt deadlock for narrow stile sliding and swing doors, supplied with a fabricator mounting latching strike and without cylinders. The 3541 Series features a hooked deadbolt that positively engages and locks into the strike when thrown - a key distinction from the standard 3540 - providing additional resistance to bolt disengagement on sliding door applications.
The double cylinder configuration requires a compatible cylinder to be fitted on both sides before the lock is operational. Cylinders are not included, allowing the installer to select the appropriate key profile and keying option for the project.

Full Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the 3540 and 3541 Series?
The 3541 features a hooked deadbolt that positively engages and locks into the strike when thrown. This differs from the standard 3540 deadbolt, which does not hook. The hooked bolt provides additional resistance to disengagement, which is particularly relevant on sliding door applications where lateral force on the door could otherwise work the bolt out of the strike. - Does this lock include cylinders?
No. The 3541RRSCNCYLLS is supplied without cylinders. The "RR" configuration means both sides of the lock accept a cylinder (double cylinder). Cylinders must be selected and ordered separately to suit the project keying system. - Does this include a strike?
Yes. This model is supplied with a fabricator mounting latching strike (indicated by the "LS" suffix in the item code). The strike is designed for installation into aluminium door frames in fabricated door systems. - Is this suitable for swing doors as well as sliding doors?
Yes. The ASSA ABLOY product description confirms this lock is suitable for both narrow stile sliding and swing doors. The 3541 hooked bolt configuration suits applications where the bolt engages into a strike on the door frame or jamb. - Can this lock be integrated into a master key system?
Yes. Because cylinders are not included, the correct cylinders for your master key or restricted key system can be selected at the time of installation. Confirm cylinder compatibility with your locksmith or key system supplier.
Additional Information
- The 3541 hooked bolt is a critical specification point when comparing with the 3540. On sliding door installations, the hooked bolt prevents the bolt from being worked out of the strike by lateral movement of the door panel. Confirm with the specifier whether the 3541 or 3540 is required before ordering.
- The "no cylinder" configuration is commonly specified when the project uses a restricted or master key system and cylinders are to be supplied through the keying system provider. The lock body and cylinders are ordered separately to keep the keying system under the control of the locksmith or security consultant.
- The fabricator mounting strike included with this model is designed for integration into aluminium framed door systems during fabrication. It may not be suitable for retrofit into existing frames without modification.
- Installation should be carried out by a qualified locksmith or door hardware installer familiar with Lockwood 3540 Series mortice locks.
