A cylinder lock is a type of lock where the key is inserted into a cylinder that turns to unlock the door. A mortise lock is a type of lock that is installed within the door itself, with the key turning a mechanism inside the door to unlock it. The main difference is in how they are installed and the mechanism used to unlock the door.
