Cylinders & Barrels FAQs 

Q1 – Where are Euro cylinders commonly used? 

A: Euro cylinders are widely used in UPVC and composite multipoint locks, wooden doors with euro mortice locks, sliding patio doors, and certain garage door locks.

Q2 – How do Euro cylinder locks operate? 

A: Euro cylinders contain pins that must align correctly with a key’s profile. Once aligned, turning the key activates a cam, engaging or disengaging the lock mechanism.

Measure cylinder length from the lock face to each side’s cam centre. Typical lengths range from 60mm to 120mm, with variations such as 35/45mm or 40/50mm. 

Q4 – What is TS007? 

TS007 is a British Standard security rating system providing either standalone 3-star cylinders or a combination of a 1-star cylinder and 2-star handles, enhancing resistance to snapping, picking, and drilling. 

Q5 – How do I replace a rim cylinder? 

Remove night latch fixing screws and existing cylinder, cut the new cylinder tail to match the old length, insert the new cylinder, secure screws, and reinstall night latch.
