For a lock that fits to the surface of a door and is not embedded in it, what is the thing on the door frame called, that the bolt goes in to?
What is the square-sectioned rod that goes through a lock and connects the knobs to it called?
Thanks in advance.
That is a rim lock and the bit on the frame is called a keep.
No idea, but the stuff to buy to make one is key steel.
That name has nothing to do with lock keys. Key steel is used to key a gear wheel or pulley onto a rotating shaft by keyways cut into both.

Thank you.
Most of mine are just square with rounded corners.

Spindle?
