Locks used in slam latch doors
As it looks like the other lock thread will be LOCKED soon, I thought I would ask this question here. Like the 751, etc locks, are the locks used in slam latch doors all the same? Double sided key...

If they are TriMark, they are wafer locks like the 751 as far as the 'tumblers'. They are a tighter grooved cylinder and the plug to housing fitting is tighter. Harder to pick or jimmy. They have a lot more codes available.
There is a common key for some locks, like the ch751, and would bet some mfgs buy the locks in mass keyed to the same number. The cylinder is easily removed and can be rekeyed. To master key a wafer lock you have to reverse the blade on the the master key and that is expensive compared to common keyed locks.
