Names of bits of locks
For a lock that fits to the surface of a door and is not embedded in it,
what is the thing on the door frame called, that the bolt goes in to? What is the square-sectioned rod that goes through a lock and connects the knobs to it called? Thanks in advance. -- I think I am an Elephant, Behind another Elephant Behind /another/ Elephant who isn't really there.... A.A. Milne |

That is a rim lock and the bit on the frame is called a keep. What is the square-sectioned rod that goes through a lock and connects the knobs to it called? No idea, but the stuff to buy to make one is key steel. That name has nothing to do with lock keys. Key steel is used to key a gear wheel or pulley onto a rotating shaft by keyways cut into both.
