Neo Cylinder RIM ANSIImage: SALTO Systems

The Neo cylinder configured for RIM (surface-mounted, also called rim lock) mechanical hardware. Common on older commercial and multifamily doors where the existing lock body is surface-mounted to the door rather than mortised inside it. The Neo RIM cylinder replaces just the cylinder, leaving the rest of the existing RIM lock body in place.

Where this model fits

  • Older multifamily unit doors with surface-mounted RIM locks
  • Commercial doors with RIM hardware
  • Historic properties where door modification is restricted

Parent product line

Neo Cylinder RIM ANSI is a configuration of the Neo product line. See the parent line page for the full credential stack, PMS integration list, and brand-standard notes that apply across every Neo configuration.

How this model is configured

Every Salto lock is composed to your doors during scoping: finish, mortise and function type, credential technology (BLE, NFC, RFID, with mag-stripe or PIN fallback where needed), and handing. RevKey confirms each selection at the site survey and configures the final composed part number with you, so the lock that ships matches your door prep and brand standard.

Where Neo Cylinder RIM ANSI fits, and where it doesn’t

EnvironmentIndoor / outdoor (IP66 (outdoor version))
Form factorCylinder (in-place retrofit)
Battery4x LR1 alkaline, ~130,000 openings per set 1-2 years typical; up to 130,000 openings per battery set.
Durability gradeCylinder retrofit: mechanical durability is governed by the host lockset, not the cylinder.
Ideal trafficModerate traffic Because Neo replaces only the cylinder inside the existing mechanical hardware, its mechanical wear profile follows the host lock body it sits in.

Best for

  • Multifamily and office retrofits where door prep cannot change
  • Occupied units, historic buildings, and custom millwork (no drilling or prep change)
  • Outdoor gates and perimeter doors (IP66 outdoor version)
  • Bringing perimeter, amenity, and unit access under one credential

Not ideal for

  • Branded hospitality guest doors needing the deepest PMS and mobile-key support (XS4 One)
  • New construction where a full electronic lock body is preferred
  • Doors where Apple Wallet keying is a hard requirement (firmware-dependent on Neo)
