Type 245 cylinder body is a surface mounted lock body from the CompX Timberline lock line that is built for locking doors on cabinetry and similar casework, so it gives installers a compact deadbolt style solution without mortising. This cylinder body uses a 3/4 inch long cylinder, which sets the reach through the door or panel and helps match projects built around that standard cylinder length. The body is designed for a vertical mount orientation, so it supports layouts where the key turns in a straight up-and-down position on the door. A 16.5 mm diameter bore hole is required, which defines the drilling layout and allows installers to plan clean, repeatable hole preparation. Tough nylon housing forms the body of the lock, giving a solid, non-metallic structure that withstands normal cabinet use and helps prevent marring adjacent surfaces around the bore.
This CompX Timberline lock cylinder body is specified as a vertical mount design, so it fits layouts where the cylinder stands upright on the cabinet or furniture door and the key moves in a vertical arc. The requirement for a 16.5 mm diameter bore hole sets a clear drilling dimension, so boring jigs, bits, and CNC programs can be aligned exactly to that size. With a 3/4 inch cylinder length defined for all locks using this body, door and panel thickness choices can be planned around that reach so the cylinder face and keyway sit correctly on the exterior surface. Surface mounted construction means the body bears on the door face rather than being buried in a cavity, which simplifies preparation to boring and fastening locations on the workpiece.
The CB-245 cylinder body is stated as a surface mounted lock for locking doors, which points it toward cabinetry, furniture doors, and similar casework where a compact deadbolt style lock is needed. Because the cylinder length is 3/4 inch on all locks using this body, it suits projects built around that reach such as many cabinet door thicknesses in shops and production settings. The vertical mount orientation fits layouts where the installer wants the key to travel in a straight up-and-down movement, which can match other hardware on the same run of doors. Its tough nylon housing is suited to typical indoor woodworking environments, so it handles regular user operation on cabinet doors while avoiding metal-on-wood contact around the bore hole.
The specified 16.5 mm diameter bore hole on this Type 245 cylinder body gives a precise drilling target, so repeated installations can hit a consistent fit between the housing and the door panel. Having every lock in this line use a 3/4 inch long cylinder means layouts can be standardized, so multiple doors in a bank can be drilled and machined to the same cylinder depth without reworking. The 180 degree key rotation defines how far the user must turn the key, which simplifies alignment of the cam or locking element with the strike in the locking position. Because the key is removable in both locked and unlocked positions, users can remove the key after locking or after opening, which supports different access routines in shops, offices, or residential cabinetry. The tough nylon housing contributes to a stable seating of the cylinder in the bore hole, which helps the keyway remain aligned over time for smooth operation. Together, these defined details support consistent drilling, mounting, and user experience across repeated installations of this CompX Timberline lock body.

This CompX Timberline cylinder body is described as surface mounted, so it sits on the door face and works with the bored hole rather than a full mortise pocket.
The Type 245 cylinder body is specified as a vertical mount, so it is intended for installations where the key turns in a vertical orientation on the door.
The cylinder body provides 180 degree key rotation, so the key moves a half-turn between locked and unlocked positions for straightforward operation.
This cylinder body allows the key to be removable in both locked and unlocked positions, supporting different access routines on cabinet or furniture doors.
Choose the Type 245 cylinder body when a surface mounted CompX Timberline lock is needed for locking doors with a 3/4 inch cylinder length and a 16.5 mm bore hole. The vertical mount orientation, 180 degree key rotation, and tough nylon housing give a defined set of parameters for planning cabinet or furniture door work around this CB-245 cylinder body and matching it to the required lock plug and strike components.
