PURPOSE: A cylindrical lockset is provided to have a small volume, to be cost effective, and to obtain excellent strength, durability, and multiple functions. CONSTITUTION: A cylindrical lockset includes a latch, a locking cage, a retractor (250), rotary shaft bearings (120), handle-operable spindles (70, 80), and spindle return springs (15). The locking cage is installed inside a cylindrical bore of a door penetrating through an inner door surface from an outer door surface. The retractor is embedded inside the locking cage and makes inner and outer door handles retract the latch. The rotary shaft bearings are installed on the locking cage. The rotary shaft return sprints biases the handle-operable spindles to the original position. The locking cage is formed of a metal sheet and partitioned into inner, middle, outer locking cage portions, which are mutually adjacent, in an axial direction. The retractor is embedded inside the middle locking cage portions, and the rotary shaft bearings are embedded inside the inner and outer locking cage portions.
