Hi, guys. My name is Darrel and I'm head of the tech team here at LocksOnline. Thanks for taking some time to tune in and have a quick look at one of our product review videos. We've put these short little videos together to be able to give you, our customers, the opportunity to see the product in the flesh, so to speak.

Today I want to show you a replacement rim cylinder that's available from the manufacturer Union. This is the actual cylinder. This is the chrome version of this particular cylinder, as you can see here. Now, used extensively in the UK for a wooden door, where you've got like a night latch on the back of the door, the latch are when you close the door it locks behind you. Then you obviously need to have a key then, in which to get in.

A lot of these are all multi-function, so for example, this Union will work on a Yale. This one will work on an Arrow lock, etc. There are a few exceptions to the rules, but generally they are all the same in regards to the shape and the size, etc. On this particular one here, you can see you've got the part at the back here and you have the option then to be able to cut off these particular links, depending on what length you want. You can do it with a pliers, if you get the pliers in really close and give a quick snap and it will snap it off wherever you need it to be. Alternatively, by all means, use a hacksaw.

They come with two screw fittings here and these are designed to screw into the back plate of the actual lock that you would have, they are like that. Will just screw in there like that. Of course then you have the rosette here as well, that will then sit over to finish off what it actually looks like there, as you can see. Now, comes standard with two sets of keys on this particular one.

And what I'll do very, very quickly is I'll just give you an idea of the thickness of the door that you could probably get away with fitting this onto. So you can imagine, this is going to be on the surface there. So the overall depth of the door there, you're going to be probably pushing round about 55 millimetres there, as you can see there, to give you a little bit more scope.

The actual size of the actual bar from the face of the door is a little bit longer than that. You are pushing there just over 72-73 millimetres. Just to give you guys an idea as to if you've got a really thick door, and you plan on fitting this onto how far that that would project. So there you go, not really much more to say about it. But it does give you the opportunity to see it in the flesh, and as I've said is they will all work on each individual type of manufacturer's rim latches.
