The Cylinder
The cylinder is the main element of a door's mechanical lock. It houses a series of spring-loaded pins which lock the door when there is no key inserted into the hole. When a key is put in the knob's uneven edge the knob pushes the pins of the cylinder back into their proper position. When the pins are position, they allow the bolt (also called the latch) to move forward, engaging the inside of your doors.
The bolt extends out of the cylinder, and into the box, through a hole is made in the door frame. The box is designed in a way that the bolt cannot be easily removed. A clip spring ensures that the bolt is retracting when the door is closed. When you turn the handle the spindle is designed to rotate inside the cylinder. The slanted end retracts into the frame of the door once the spindle has completed its rotation. The bolt is positioned in the carved-out portion of your doorframe, securing the door shut until you are required to open it again.
A faceplate is a metal plate that attaches to the inside of your door, either side of the deadbolt hole. Its purpose is to shield the locking mechanism from damage caused by your knob's continual inserting and removal. If you're installing a new lock, ensure that the faceplate lines up with the hole in the door frame and is securely secured to the plate as well as the bore of the latch.
When replacing the lock on a door make sure the deadbolt is properly seated by sliding it in the opening of the strike plate. After you're done then screw the strike plate and core of the lock back into the hole. Do not tighten too much as this can cause damage to the latch or stop it from fitting into its groove. You can test the new lock by turning the key with the lock in the locked position. If you spot any issues like a loud deadbolt or an unfastened latch, it's best to replace the lock with a new one.
The Faceplate
A faceplate is an over-sized flat plate that attaches to the headstock of the lathe to support the workpiece. It has a number of screw holes in it, through which the screw thread enters from the back and is inserted into the wood. A faceplate can support many different shapes but in general they have to be positioned in a stable, fixed and balanced position and balanced, which aren't easy tasks if compared to the simplicity of a chuck.
A typical faceplate comes with a variety of mounting holes. In this instance, three are positioned at 120 degrees to receive the screws for mounting in FIGURE. 2. The screw holes can be machined either through an interchangeable insert 16 or directly into the faceplate body. The faceplate features an incline in the middle, which serves as an index mark to indicate the exact location of the blank workpiece.
The stepping area has been designed to resist abrasion so that the fastener won't cause damage to the chisel used to cut it. The surface of the body of the faceplate has different properties compared to the surrounding region and machining into this area alerts the turner to possible contact with a fastener, and gives the turner time to react.
Screws used to fix to a faceplate should have a tiny amount of free play in the screw hole. There should be no space left behind the screw when it is tightened onto the block of glue, as this may cause the block to shift when turning. It is also recommended to use a heavier gauge screw, as it will seat more securely in the faceplate. The screw should go through the middle of the screwhole to avoid the possibility that a screwhead will be in contact with the workpiece.
The Strike Plate
The strike plate is an important component of the door lock. It's what stops the bolt from falling out when you close the door. The strike plate is also part of the system that helps increase the strength of the lock and prevent intrusions by using force against the jamb and latch bolt.
A strike plate is a heavy metal plate that is inserted into the doorjamb (the vertical portion of the frame) with a hole that allows the latch or deadbolt to be able to pass through. When the cylinder is turned, the bolt will shoot out of the strike plate into doorjamb and keeps it closed.

If this doesn't work, you'll need to adjust the strikeplate by drilling new screw holes and widening your catch hole. You should not make many adjustments to the strike plate. Repeated and drastic adjustments can cause it to lose effectiveness.
The Deadbolt
A deadbolt is a steel bolt that secures the door to the doorjamb frame. Unlike a spring-latch used in doorknobs that can be used to loid (jimmied) by credit cards or other tools like latch slips, deadbolts are locked with a key, thumb turn, or electronically (in the case of keyless and smart deadbolts). They are more secure against forced entry techniques like kick-ins and are simple to use and require minimal maintenance.
The bolt extends through an hole or socket inside the doorjamb that is reinforced with a strike plate to provide additional security. The bolt should be at least 1 inch long to make it more difficult to wrench off the door. It is also important to select a deadbolt that has an ANSI rating that indicates how securely the lock has been tested.
The strike plate also holds the cylinder in position. There should be three holes that run along the bolt: one located in the middle connects the facepiece to the cylinder. The other two are to the left and right of the central hole. The screws are inserted in these holes to connect the cylinder and bolt. The screws must be included with the new deadbolt. Certain locks come with decorative covers that snap onto the facepieces. Consult the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that they are installed correctly.
