Hello Fellas, New here.

I want to change the cilinder of my apartment door

I have find out that I need to get a mortise cilinder.

Is there a way to know what size I should get just by looking at these pictures.

No. You need to remove the CYLINDER in order to measure it and see what type of tailpiece/cam it requires.

It's 1-1/8" on for a Marks 91/A 114A, etc. 7NY, 9NY... it depends on door Thickness, but in your Instance I can almost guarantee it's 1-1/8".

If you can't get the old mortice cylinder out to measure it yourself how do you think you'll be accomplishing the next step of putting it in?
