House Guard 1-1/4 Inch Replacement Cylinder Lock, Brass 5-Pin Key Cylinder with Breakaway Tailpiece, Fits Select Sliding Patio Door and Storm Door Handle Sets, 2 Keys Included

I recently purchased a lock cylinder for my sliding patio door, and overall, I am very satisfied with the product. The installation process was straightforward, although it did require a bit of additional effort. The most challenging part was cutting through the tail, which I accomplished using an oscillating multi-tool. Despite this minor hurdle, the rest of the installation went smoothly, and the lock cylinder fit perfectly into the existing hole in my door. The lock cylinder appears to be of high-quality construction, which is reassuring for the security of my home. The materials used seem durable and robust, indicating that it will withstand regular use over time. Once installed, the lock operates smoothly, with no sticking or difficulty turning the key. This ease of use is particularly important for a frequently used door like my patio door. I also appreciate the design of the lock cylinder, which blends seamlessly with the overall look of the door. It does not protrude awkwardly or look out of place, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of my patio. Additionally, the lock provides a sense of security, which is crucial for an entry point to my home. Knowing that the lock is sturdy and reliable gives me peace of mind. In conclusion, I am pleased with my purchase of this lock cylinder. Despite the minor inconvenience of cutting through the tail during installation, the end result is a secure, well-fitted lock that enhances the safety and appearance of my sliding patio door. I would recommend this product to others looking for a reliable lock cylinder for their doors. It is a good investment in home security and demonstrates quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

Worked as described and better

I had been holding off replacing the cylinder in my Pella sliding door because Pella was asking for a ridiculous amount of money for a poorly made product. I had no idea there were generic cylinders out there. This one fit and operates perfectly and a great value for the money.

Do not buy if needed for Kwikest keys. The key pattern does not match that brand. Even though the packaging says it is, its not. It's actually for Sledge keys.

I had lost the keys for my old lock. I measured carefully and it matched the descripton so I ordered this lock cylinder. It arrived the next day, and I installed it, simple but not quite as simple as one might think. Since it was made to fit multiple applications, the tail piece must be cut to length. Too long and it will bind up. Too short and it will not lock or unlock. It doesn't have to be perfect, just understand the proper length may fall between the score marks. Mine did so I cut it with a hacksaw. when assemblying the key must be turned to the proper orentation. 50/50 chance of getting it right the first time. Wrong and you can't get the key out. After several attemps (my fault not the locks) I got it right, and it works easily and smoothly. Although it says no tools required, I used a screwdriver, a hack saw, and a file to smooth the cut edge. I am pleased with it and do recommend it.

Very good product and easy to install

Fit newer Pella sliding door perfectly. Just needed to clip the end for the right length.

My maintenance staff mentioned that if the key binds up and won't turn, you need to trim more off the end of the tailpiece

Perfect fit, and good price

I used this to replace a broken lockset on our sunroom door. It worked perfectly and was easy to replace.
