Cylinder Lock Barrels

Cylinder Lock Barrels: Versatility in Security

We supply everything and anything from your basic single cylinder barrel locks to 6 pin high security cylinders. From double cylinders to cylinders with turns, we can help secure your property and offer assistance with any of your requirements.

Whether it is a lock barrel for UPVC doors, garage doors, store doors, or a key switch, our collection has a lock for every facility.

Of course, if you want optimum security, you can request that all locks in a building are suited to a unique system and we can set this up for you using cylinders from well known manufacturers including Zoo, Carlisle Brass, Access2 and KABA. This gives more control over who can access the building and certain areas of it.

A brief guide to our oval, rim, and euro profile cylinders:

These cylinders are the most secure rating of cylinder. There is no requirement for additional security hardware to meet PAS24 requirements as a 3 star cylinder provides maximum security. You can read more on this in our blog: Are Cylinder Locks Secure? 3 Star Euro Cylinders.

Iseo F6 ExtraS 1 Star Cylinders

1 star cylinders are tested to TS007:2014 and are BSI Kitemarked – a quality mark for durability, safety, and security. Cylinders to this standard are anti-bump, anti-drill and anti-pick. Install a 1 star rated cylinder with a 2 star rated security product, to total the 3 stars required for PAS24 compliance.

The Iseo F6 ExtraS range incorporates euro double, euro single, rim and euro cylinder and turns in a variety of sizes. These cylinders are suitable for use on FD30 and FD60 rated fire doors and are Secured By Design accredited.

Eurospec MPx6 Cylinders

Open Profile 6 Pin

An open profile cylinder range provides the convenience of local key cutting and duplication. Unlike a patent restricted master key system, an open profile cylinder key can be cut by any locksmith, the key blanks are not restricted in their availability. We talk about this in more detail in our blog: The Importance of Key Security.

Tigris Standard Lock Barrels

This range of 6 pin cylinders may be the entry level range from Access 2 but they are tested to grade 6 of BS EN1303 for both durability and security, has anti-pick protection and can be specified for medium sized master key systems up to 2,400 differs. It includes thumbturn locks, and single and double cylinder locks. 

Restricted 6 Pin Cylinder Locks

A restricted cylinder range has an additional tier of security in comparison to an open profile range, as the supply of key blanks is restricted to a particular supplier or company. This limits key duplication or supply to the manufacturer of the cylinders and a selected company. Orders for keys would need to be accompanied by the correct authorisation from the system owner. The Tigris OEM range is a 6pin cylinder range, tested to grade to grade 6 of BS EN1303 for both durability and security.

Patented Restricted

Patent restricted ranges, or cylinder ranges which have patent protection, protect against illegal or unwanted key duplication by having a patent on the key blanks, meaning that only the manufacturer can legally cut additional or replacement keys and only once they’ve received the correct authorisation from the system owner.

The Tigris Premier 3 range has patent protection on the key blank until 2032. These cylinders are anti-pick and have anti-drill protection in the plug and body.
