A cylinder lock includes a shell that has an enlarged tubular section, and a constricted tubular section. A retractor case that contains a latch retractor for retracting a latch is disposed within the enlarged tubular section. An inner surface of the enlarged tubular section is provided with an interlocking unit that interlocks with the retractor case to prevent relative rotational movements of the retractor case and the shell. In an embodiment, the retractor case has at least one tongue extending radially between a pair of annularly spaced apart interlocking elements of the interlocking unit.

1. A cylinder lock comprising: an inner handle;an inner drive spindle connected to said inner handle;an outer handle;an outer drive spindle connected to said outer handle;a latch retractor driven by said inner or outer drive spindle and adapted to retract a latch;a retractor case having inner and outer cover plates, and a middle cage connected between said inner and outer cover plates and receiving said latch retractor, each of said inner and outer cover plates having a central hole, and two radially extending and annularly spaced tongues, each of said tongues of said inner and outer cover plates being bifurcated to define a clamping groove therein;a shell having an enlarged tubular section, a constricted tubular section, and an annular shoulder formed between said enlarged and constricted tubular sections and adjacent said inner cover plate, said enlarged tubular section receiving said retractor case, said annular shoulder having two passage holes; andtwo annularly spaced reinforcing posts which are disposed inside said enlarged tubular section across said middle cage and said inner and outer cover plates and each of which has two opposite ends, said opposite ends of said reinforcing posts being respectively clamped by said clamping grooves of said tongues, said reinforcing posts respectively being aligned with said passage holes;wherein said inner surface of said enlarged tubular section is recessed to form at least two annularly spaced recesses that extend axially of said enlarged tubular section, each of said recesses being confined by two axially extending recess sidewalls that are spaced apart annularly, each of said tongues extending into a respective one of said recesses and having two opposite sides engaging said recess sidewalls of said one of said recesses; and wherein each of said reinforcing posts has two engagement slots formed respectively in said opposite ends thereof, each of said engagement slots of each of said reinforcing posts engaging an edge of a corresponding one of said tongues within a corresponding one of said clamping grooves. 2. The cylinder lock of claim 1, wherein said enlarged tubular section further has an outer surface opposite to said inner surface, and said outer surface projects outwardly where said inner surface is recessed, thus forming a protruding part. 3. The cylinder lock of claim 1, further comprising two fasteners, and a rose disc disposed around said constricted tubular section and having a middle hole, and two fastening holes, said fasteners extending respectively through said fastening holes and inserted threadedly and respectively into said reinforcing posts. 4. The cylinder lock of claim 3, wherein said rose disc further has inner and outer annular sections, and a plurality of prongs, said inner annular section extending between said middle hole and said outer annular section, said outer annular section extending outwardly from said inner annular section, said prongs projecting axially from said rose disc in a direction toward said enlarged tubular section and being spaced apart annularly from each other along a connection between said inner and outer annular sections. 5. The cylinder lock of claim 4, further comprising two positioning elements, said outer annular section having two positioning holes, said positioning elements respectively extending through said positioning holes, said fastening holes being formed in said inner annular section, said positioning and fastening holes being aligned along a diametral line. 6. The cylinder lock of claim 5, wherein said rose disc further has an inner side facing said enlarged tubular section, and an outer side opposite to said inner side, said outer annular section further having two indented parts which are indented at said inner side, said positioning holes being provided respectively in said indented parts. 7. The cylinder lock of claim 6, wherein each of said positioning elements has first, second and third sections, said second section being formed between said first and third sections, said first section being adapted to be received in a panel, said second section being larger in cross section than that of said first section and received in one of said indented parts, said third section being smaller in cross section than that of said second section and extending into one of said positioning holes. 8. A cylinder lock comprising: an inner handle;an inner drive spindle connected to said inner handle;an outer handle;an outer drive spindle connected to said outer handle;a latch retractor driven by said inner or outer drive spindle and adapted to retract a latch;a retractor case having inner and outer cover plates, and a middle cage connected between said inner and outer cover plates and receiving said latch retractor, each of said inner and outer cover plates having a central hole, and a pair of radially extending tongues, each of which is bifurcated to define a clamping groove therein:a shell having an enlarged tubular section, a constricted tubular section, and an annular shoulder formed between said enlarged and constricted tubular sections and adjacent said inner cover plate, said enlarged tubular section receiving said retractor case, said annular shoulder having two passage holes; anda pair of reinforcing posts, each of which is disposed inside said enlarged tubular section across said middle cage and said inner and outer cover plates and having two opposite ends, said opposite ends of said reinforcing posts being respectively clamped by said clamping grooves of said tongues, said reinforcing posts being aligned with said passage holes, respectively; wherein said inner surface of said enlarged tubular section is recessed to form a recess that extends axially of said enlarged tubular section and that is confined by two axially extending recess sidewalls, which are spaced apart annularly, one of said tongues extending into said recess and having two opposite sides engaging said recess sidewalls, respectively; andwherein each of said reinforcing posts has two engagement slots formed respectively in said opposite ends thereof, each of said engagement slots engaging an edge of a corresponding one of said tongues within a corresponding one of said clamping grooves.
