Cylinders

These days, locks operated by cylinders (commonly referred to as 'lock barrels') are becoming more and more popular due to the diversity and scalability cylinder locks offer, both in terms of security and practicality.

Looking at the practical side of cylinders, the simple ability to remove the cylinder and replace it with a new one, without having to remove and replace the entire lock out of the door, is a huge benefit. In addition to this, the cylinders can be colour-matched to other door furniture, and of course can be supplied keyed-alike and more widely master-keyed than lever-operated locks ever could. And in addition to these benefits, you also have the diversity of cylinder size, especially with modular based cylinders like our high security EPS cylinders, to suit any door thickness (within reason!)
