ABSTRACT:
A retainer assembly for attaching a lock cylinder to a door panel, the lock cylinder having a length and a plurality of radially spaced flanges disposed on and raised outwardly therefrom. The retainer assembly comprises a retainer clip having at least two laterally spaced apart flanges, the at least two laterally spaced apart flanges preventing rotational movement of the lock cylinder when the lock cylinder is engaged with the retainer clip. A base is provided having a first side, a second side, and an open-ended slot. The base is connected to the retainer clip at the second side. The open-ended slot is provided for slidingly engaging the lock cylinder such that upon engagement of the lock cylinder, the base flatly abuts against the door panel on the first side and the retainer clip abuts against the plurality of radially spaced flanges of the lock cylinder. The base has a height equaling at least half of the length of the lock cylinder and a width equaling at least the length of the lock cylinder to prevent disengagement of an anti-theft device that is engaged with the lock cylinder.
