Why have a High Security Euro Cylinder

Most uPVC and composite doors are fitted with a cylinder lock with revolving cam. Turning the key revolves the cam, which engages the door�s locking mechanism. The design has inherent weaknesses but a high security cylinder, like this and Yale's 3* Platinum, can protect against them. Three reasons to buy a high security euro profile cylinder:

  • Protect your property - high security cylinders are a physical and visual deterrent
  • Insurance compliance - failure to use an Insurance Approved cylinder could invalidate an insurance policy
  • Peace of mind - trusting a high security lock means you can rest easy at night

EXTRA KEYS - 3 keys are provided with single cylinders and 6 keys with keyed-alike pairs as standard. Additional keys, which are cut using genuine Yale blanks, can be ordered with the cylinder. Please note that extra keys are a nonrefundable bespoke service.

How it's used

What size do you need?

These cylinders have hardened security on the outside and can only be used one way, so be sure to measure correctly.

When ordering, you should provide the internal measurement first (the side with the knob if ordering a thumbturn). If the cylinder measures 35mm from centre of screw hole (under cam space) to the end with thumbturn and 45mm from centre of screw hole to end with key, then you should order 35 (Thumb) / 45 (Key).

Measuring the handed Yale Platinum euro cylinder

Removing existing cylinder

  1. Put your key in the lock and open the door.
  2. Remove the screw from edge, beneath the latch.
  3. Turn key while apply pressure to opposite end of cylinder. As you do the cam will line up with the lock and can be pulled out. The key usually needs to be turned approximately 25� clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Maintenance Advice

Yale recommend regular lubrication of your Yale cylinder locks to ensure continuous trouble free performance and operation.

For this we recommend using a PTFE based lubricant. A small amount of lubricant should be applied to the key and then inserted into the cylinder. Rotate the key a couple of times in line with the normal locking function. Remove the key from the cylinder and wipe away any remaining lubricant to ensure it isn�t transferred onto other objects.
