Efficient Security Updates
Cylinder replacement is often the most efficient way to change the keys for a property. Rather than replacing the entire lock casing (which is inside the door), we only replace the cylinder where the key is inserted. This is particularly common for uPVC and composite doors utilizing Euro-profile cylinders.
Why Change the Cylinder?
- Moving into a new property: Ensuring previous owners or tenants no longer have access.
- Lost keys: Restoring security when keys are unaccounted for.
- Upgrading security: Moving to anti-snap, anti-drill, or anti-pick cylinders.
- Worn mechanisms: When the key no longer turns smoothly but the main multi-point lock is fine.
Precision Measurement
Cylinders must be measured precisely. An incorrectly sized cylinder that protrudes too far from the handle is a significant security risk. We measure the internal and external dimensions to ensure a flush, secure fit specific to your door's thickness and handle hardware.
