Cylindrical Locks: a bored lockset whose latch or bolt locking mechanism is contained in the portion installed through the cross-bore
Cylindrical locks with levers usually require a spring cage to lift the lever and keep it horizontal. These spring cages lead to a bigger rose (circular, finished plate against the door) – typically around 3.5 inches in diameter. Knob designs do not require this extra spring force and these roses usually have a diameter around 2.5 inches.

A lock is any device which prevents access or use by requiring special knowledge or equipment. Mechanical locks are mechanical devices which secure an opening by keeping a door closed until a release mechanism is activated; usually a lever, knob, key, or thumbturn.
There are several types of mechanical locks, but they all provide the same basic function - to secure a door. Typical uses and benefits of common types are listed below.

The regulation valves are designed to adjust the flow the hydraulic fluid in the closer which regulates the door closing speed through various phases of the closing cycle. The regulation valves have limited adjustment and if opened up too far can cause damage to the seals and create hydraulic fluid leaks. The regulation valve assemblies are staked to provide some warning when the screws are at max adjustment but they cannot prevent the valve from being over adjusted.
The most common reason why users over adjust the regulation valve is to create more force to ensure the door latches during closing. Opening up or adjusting the latch speed will increase the latch speed but does not increase the closing force provided for latching the door, if more force is needed to latch the door the spring power should be increased.
The following information is a guide to ensure the regulation valves are not overly adjusted:
We do not recommend opening / adjusting the regulation valves more than 3 full turns from the shut off position.

Facts: All LCN and FALCON door closers will have 3 regulating valves and a spring adjustment. All closers with a "Delay" feature will have an additional 4th valve. For specific instructions on your closer see Installation Instructions here.
Resolution: Make adjustments below as required.
