1. A door assembly, comprising:
a door having opposing first and second surfaces and a hole defined in the door and extending between the first and second surfaces;
a cylinder lock mounted to the second surface at the hole and providing a tab; and
a cylinder dry lock assembly mounted to the door at the hole adjacent the first surface and including:
a main body that defines a central orifice;
a low-friction member received within the central orifice and defining an inner hole; and
an actuation mechanism extending from the low-friction member and engageable with the cylinder lock,
wherein the actuation mechanism comprises a head receivable within the inner hole and defining a recess, and a tab extension extending from the head, wherein the tab of the cylinder lock is receivable within the recess,
wherein actuating the cylinder lock rotates the actuation mechanism, and
wherein the cylinder dry lock assembly generates a sealed interface at the hole that prevents water from migrating between the first and second surfaces at the hole.
