Our Euro Cylinder Services Explained

1. Installation

Installing a euro cylinder is a cost-effective way to secure your door and give you peace of mind. Whether you’re installing a new uPVC, composite or wooden door, we supply and fit reliable euro cylinders, ensuring correct alignment, smooth operation and secure locking. To ensure a perfect fit, we measure the length of the door cylinder from the centre of the cam.

Euro profile cylinders are available in various lengths, so it is essential to measure accurately from the centre of the cam to select the correct size for proper installation and security.

We assess the requirements (door type, thickness, lock case, cylinder size) and fit the best cylinder for your door. During installation, we make sure the cam is correctly aligned within the door cylinder for optimal function.

2. Replacement

If your existing euro cylinder is showing signs of wear, sticking, misalignment, or is simply outdated and no longer insurance-compliant, we can replace it quickly with minimal disruption. Euro cylinder locks are available in a variety of lengths, typically ranging from 40mm to 120mm, to ensure the correct fit during replacement.

Typical triggers for replacement:

• Difficulty turning the key or locking/unlocking
• The cylinder is loose, damaged, or the key won’t turn smoothly.
• The lock was part of a previous break-in or forced entry.
• Your insurer requires an upgrade to a better class of cylinder.
• Evidence of plug extraction or lock bumping attempts, which can damage the cylinder and require replacement

3. Upgrade Work

Security standards move fast. Older euro cylinders may be vulnerable to snapping, bumping, drilling or picking. We offer high-security upgrades, including:

• Anti-snap cylinders that resist forced entry techniques
• Anti-drill and anti-bump models certified to insurance standards, with 6-pin cylinders offering enhanced protection
• High-quality brands and hardware (we’ll advise what’s best for your door and budget)

Many of the cylinders we supply are Sold Secure Diamond-rated, offering the highest level of certification available.

Upgrading is a smart move if you want to ensure your property is secured to the latest standards — whether it’s a home or a commercial property.

4. Post-Break-In / Emergency Replacement

If your property has been broken into or your euro cylinder has been forcibly attacked, it’s vital to act immediately. We provide:

• Emergency call-out services (any time, day or night)
• Removal of the damaged cylinder/lock mechanism
• Rapid replacement with a secure, fitted cylinder to restore access and protection
• Advice on further lock upgrades, door reinforcement or insurance compliance

Understanding Euro Cylinder Locks

Euro cylinder locks are among the most widely used locking systems in homes and businesses throughout the UK. Their popularity stems from their versatility and ease of replacement, making them a go-to choice for securing doors and windows. However, standard euro cylinder locks have a critical weakness: they are susceptible to lock snapping. This technique involves applying force to the cylinder, causing it to snap in two, which allows burglars to gain entry to your property quickly and quietly.

The risk with a standard euro cylinder lock is that the cylinder itself can be the weakest point in your door’s security. Once snapped, the lock’s mechanism is exposed, making it easy for intruders to manipulate and unlock the door. This vulnerability has led to the development of anti-snap locks, which are specifically engineered to withstand such attacks. Anti-snap locks feature a sacrificial section that breaks away under force, but crucially, the core of the lock remains protected, preventing burglars from gaining access.

Understanding the difference between standard euro cylinder locks and anti-snap locks is essential for anyone looking to secure their property. By choosing snap locks designed to resist snapping, you significantly reduce the risk of forced entry and enhance the overall security of your home or business.
