A lock cylinder is a key-operated device that is used to secure or unlock a lock. It typically consists of a cylindrical-shaped body with a series of pins or tumblers inside. When the correct key is inserted and turned, the pins align at specific heights, allowing the cylinder to rotate and unlock the lock mechanism.

A panel handle is a component used for opening and closing doors, cabinets, or other panels. It provides a means of grasping and manipulating the panel to gain access. Panel handles come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, depending on the application and aesthetic preferences.

A lock body, also known as a lock case or lock mechanism, is the main part of a lock that holds the locking mechanism and connects it to the door or frame. It usually consists of a metal housing that contains the components responsible for the locking and unlocking operation, such as the latch or deadbolt.

A hinge is a mechanical device that allows a door, gate, or lid to swing or rotate on a fixed axis. It provides support and facilitates the opening and closing movements. Hinges are typically composed of two plates or leaves, connected by a pin or a rod, and they come in various designs, including butt hinges, continuous hinges, and pivot hinges.
