locksets

Keyed entry assemblies

Locksets are the complete assemblies of hardware used to secure doors—including the lock mechanism, handles or knobs, strike plates, and related components.

The term appears in hardware catalogs and construction specifications: We need to order locksets for all the interior doors.

A lockset differs from a deadbolt, which is a separate security device.
