These handle types are either operated by a single spindle or by two spindles, either inline or offset. They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors. They come in many variations & styles.

Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins. Internal and external doors require different levels of security.

The selection of a cylinder is crucial. It is based on the type of use your doors and handles receive. For example, external doors require an extra secure cylinder, whilst internal doors can be secured with a standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders are available with extra features that increase security even more, like anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.

The cylinder should be measured from the hole in the center of the fixing screw to the other end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one.
