I was afraid of that. I assume something like this:

will fit the deadbolts but be too long for the F series knobs I have.


Be careful these aftermarket cylinders have only a limited application.

Hmm. That must be what I have (early 90's?). So in theory I could move
some of those to where I want an E keyway (after replacing the cylinder)
and replace them with newer F series. Everything would still look pretty
much the same without having to upgrade all the knobs. Are 5-pin E keyway
cylinders available?

Early 90's is probably too new. it was only the first generation of the F
lock that would take a std. cyl.

But let's see if I can be of help. Exactly what are you trying to
accomplish? To hey your house the same as your office or something?
