I want to replace two entry lock sets on my shop to match the interior
doors, but the steel doors have a much shorter backset from the jamb
than the "normal" lockset.

What do I look for? Where do I look?

P.S. One of the two entry locks is worn out in more ways than one.

That's like telling me you have a Chevy and you think it needs another
motor but the tranny needs to match... ;-)

Another hobby of mine is Locksport. If your doors have something named
on them you can probably rebuild whats there. Schlage, Corbin, Sargent,
Kwikset??? Deadbolt, Mortise, Knob, Lever...

The Schuham Builders Catalog in a link here may give you some info to
peruse and figure things out:

https://schuham.com/documents

If your interior doors are Schlage SC1 Keyed or Kwikset KW1 you might be
able to use their Smartkey products which you can rekey yourself using
the existing interior keys. Not the best locks but easy to rekey and
not so expensive...

No actually its not. I don't care what trany it is exactly for this
query. I already have the engine. I need a tranny to match, and I need
to know exactly how to shop for the tranny and if I am calling it by the
right name and nomenclature to look for it. I'm not looking for
somebody to provide the SKU at O'Reilly Autoparts for the exact
transmission.

I tortured your simile with a metaphor. Like that!

I know exactly what lockset is installed in all the interior doors, and
I want to install that exact same lockset in the exterior doors. What
the locksets are in the exterior doors are is irrelevant as they will be
thrown away. If necessary for the sake of this conversation consider
them not only already thrown away, but run under an extra heavy highway
roller four or five times first. Again nothing about them is relevant.
Only the backset of the opening to the edge of the door is relevant,
and knowing how to find the bolt that is the right length for the entry
locksets that will replace them.

That is a good possible lead. Thank you.

I have the locksets and lock cylinders. I just need shorter "bolts" for
them.

I actually spent a year or two in the electronic security business (as
the license holder), but I never provided locksmith services except as
minor supplemental work. Usually only in relation to access control
which may or may not also exist on this premise in conjunction with
alarm and video which also may or may not exist.

I feel silly asking really. I know its called a bolt, but most basic
searches bring up deadbolts. Sigh! I no longer have the wholesale
sources I used to have where I would be asking a vendor who knows
exactly what I am looking for. Its been a few years.

I want to replace two entry lock sets on my shop to match the interior
doors, but the steel doors have a much shorter backset from the jamb
than the "normal" lockset.

----------------------

Sorry, I can't help with this one. The distance from the door edge to the
eyeballed center of the handle is 2-1/2" for my original interior doors, my
replacement residential steel entry doors, and my basement garage's
industrial fire door. Google shows other sizes.

The industrial door was free, a reject because the glass is very slightly
larger than the Massachusetts requirement.

I've seen both 2 3/4" backset and 2 3/8" , but never 2 1/2 ... I've
also seen locksets that have a bolt that can be adjusted to either
"standard" backset .

-----------------

Google brought up sites that agree with you, so I looked further and asked
my very experienced neighbor. Searching for 2-1/2" backset brought up many
results, as did 2" and 1-1/2".

He told me about a development he worked on where they installed heavy fire
doors in walls with metal studs. He was called back several times to
readjust the doors until he convinced then to install stiffer wood stud
frames. When I replaced the cheap original exterior doors here I reframed
them with planed-to-fit oak from my sawmill. I'm still looking for trim
screws with heads not much larger than panel nails.
