Dear Brownstoners,

I have a new set of front doors propped up against my parlor wall, to be finished and installed. However, I have to buy hardward for the doors, hinges and locksets. I want to buy some nice looking reproduction antique brass set (double “dummy” set) but need some advise on manufacters /suppliers which can hold a multi lock cylinder. I know what I like aesthetically but would like to try to use the same lock cylinder to avoid disruption for tenants but especially the Post Office. I have a Multi Lock cylinder (dead bolt) and wonder what I need to know about buying a lockset which can fit Multi Lock cylinders.

Can you give me some advice on this? Thank you, as always.
