LocksOnline Security Cylinders

Section Links

The greatest advantage of using cylinders over lever locks is the number of key differs available. There are millions of key differs available which allows extensive master key systems as well as a high degree of key security for thousands of locks. A master key system is where a "master key" will open a number of locks which also have their own different keys. The cylinder key system is therefore well suited to commercial property where key security may be an issue.

Euro Profile Cylinders LOL

Euro Profile Cylinders LOL
A euro cylinder is shaped like an enlarged key hole and used in conjunction with a euro mortice lock case. The cylinder fits through your door, passing through the lock case which is mortised into the edge of the door. When using door handles with these types of locks and cylinders, you must ensure that they too have the oval or euro cut out on the back plate to allow the cylinder to pass through.
