the cylinder This includes the thumb turn in the event that one is present If you are unable to measure with the lock in position you can take it out of it A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon may be vulnerable to attacks such as snapping locks therefore it is important to make sure its not too long Most newer cylinders have been made with antidrill and bump resistance
