Lockwood Symmetry Cylindrical Adaptor – Polished Brass
The Lockwood Symmetry Cylindrical Adaptor is a component accessory designed for use with Lockwood Symmetry Series locksets to enable compatibility with cylindrical lock mechanisms. This adaptor facilitates the installation of Symmetry cylinders into applications requiring cylindrical configuration, extending the versatility of Lockwood's modular lock system across different door hardware specifications.
Manufactured with a polished brass finish, the adaptor integrates aesthetically with Lockwood Symmetry trim and hardware while providing the mechanical interface between the cylinder assembly and the lock mechanism. The adaptor is compatible with the OneCyl interchangeable cylinder platform, supporting simplified rekeying operations and master key system integration in multi-door installations.
Supplied in packs of 10 units, this component is suited to trade applications, bulk installations, and facility management operations where multiple Symmetry locksets require cylindrical adaptor configuration. The horizontal screw mounting method provides secure fixing and is compatible with both left and right-handed door installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of a cylindrical adaptor in a lockset?
A cylindrical adaptor provides the mechanical interface between the cylinder assembly and a cylindrical lock mechanism. It converts the rotational motion of the cylinder into the linear or rotational movement required by the lock bolt mechanism. This adaptor is essential when using Lockwood Symmetry cylinders in applications where the lock body expects a cylindrical configuration rather than a standard mortice format. - Is this adaptor compatible with all Lockwood Symmetry locksets?
This adaptor is designed for Lockwood Symmetry Series locksets that are configured for cylindrical lock mechanisms. Not all Symmetry locksets require or accept cylindrical adaptors. Verify your specific lockset model and configuration before ordering. Consult the lockset installation instructions or contact a locksmith to confirm compatibility. - Can I use this adaptor with non-Lockwood cylinders?
This adaptor is engineered specifically for Lockwood Symmetry cylinder assemblies and is dimensioned to match Lockwood's mechanical specifications. Using non-Lockwood cylinders may result in improper fit, binding, or mechanical failure. For reliable operation and warranty coverage, use only genuine Lockwood components. - How does this adaptor work with the OneCyl system?
The cylindrical adaptor maintains compatibility with OneCyl interchangeable cores, allowing the cylinder core to be removed and replaced using the OneCyl control key. The adaptor itself remains fixed in the lock mechanism while the cylinder core can be changed for rekeying purposes. This provides the rekeying convenience of OneCyl in cylindrical lock applications. - Why is this product sold in packs of 10?
Cylindrical adaptors are typically required in quantity for building projects, trade installations, or facility management operations where multiple locksets are being installed or serviced. The pack of 10 format provides cost efficiency for bulk applications and ensures finish consistency across installations. Individual units are generally not sold separately due to the nature of trade and project use.
Additional Information
- Cylindrical vs Mortice Lock Mechanisms:
Cylindrical locks have the locking mechanism contained within the lock body installed in a large-diameter hole through the door face. Mortice locks have the mechanism in a mortice pocket cut into the door edge. The cylindrical adaptor enables Lockwood Symmetry cylinders, which are typically used in mortice configurations, to function in cylindrical lock bodies. This extends system compatibility across different lock formats. - Lockwood Symmetry System Architecture:
The Symmetry Series is Lockwood's modular residential and light commercial lock system. It uses interchangeable components including cylinders, trim, and mechanisms to create different lock configurations from common platform parts. The cylindrical adaptor is one of these modular components, allowing a single cylinder type to work across multiple lock body formats. - Installation Considerations:
Installation requires removing any existing cylinder or adaptor from the Symmetry lockset and installing the cylindrical adaptor according to manufacturer instructions. The adaptor must align correctly with both the cylinder tailpiece and the lock mechanism driver. Improper alignment will result in binding, incomplete bolt throw, or failure to lock. Professional installation by a qualified locksmith is recommended. - Finish Matching and Aesthetics:
The polished brass finish is designed to coordinate with Lockwood Symmetry trim and hardware in matching finishes. When visible from the door face, the adaptor should match the aesthetic of the cylinder, rose, and trim components. However, in many installations, the adaptor is concealed within the lock body and finish selection is based on matching the cylinder rather than for visible appearance. - OneCyl Integration:
The cylindrical adaptor is fully compatible with Lockwood's OneCyl interchangeable core system. This means building operators can use the OneCyl control key to remove and replace cylinder cores without dismounting the adaptor or lockset. The adaptor provides the mechanical interface while the cylinder core provides the keying. This separation of functions supports flexible key management. - Trade and Project Applications:
The pack of 10 format is optimised for trade contractors, builders, and locksmiths working on multi-door projects. Having adaptors available in quantity reduces procurement complexity and ensures consistency across the installation. Spare adaptors can be retained for future maintenance or additions to the building's lock system. - Component Replacement and Maintenance:
Cylindrical adaptors are wear components that may require replacement over the service life of the lockset, particularly in high-use commercial applications. Worn adaptors can cause sluggish operation, incomplete bolt engagement, or key operation difficulty. Regular inspection during lock maintenance can identify worn adaptors before they cause operational failures. - Compatibility Verification:
Before ordering, verify that your Lockwood Symmetry lockset is configured for cylindrical operation and requires this specific adaptor type. Lockwood produces multiple adaptor configurations for different lock body types and mechanisms. Using the incorrect adaptor will prevent proper installation and function. Consult the lockset product code or installation documentation to confirm the required adaptor specification. - Non-Returnable Policy:
As a lock system component, this adaptor is non-returnable once removed from packaging. This policy ensures component security and prevents potential contamination of the supply chain with used or compromised parts. Careful verification of compatibility and requirements before purchase is essential to avoid ordering incorrect components.
