They've been about for years. Swedish by origin. I first saw them here in the UK in the 1960s in hotels and institutional buildings. Very common. As to whether there is a name to the style, I don't know .

In UK terms, the mechanism is a standard "tubular latch", which, via a standard square bar actuator works with all kinds of handles or knobs.

door knobs are often in the Georgian, Victorian or contemporary style.

I had to cut a 2 inch hole in the door to fit one of those.

Fortunately I kept the core in the toolbox and it was a simple matter to replace it with some woodfiller in the gaps
