How to Measure a Euro Cylinder Lock

The easiest and most accurate way to measure a Euro cylinder is to use a cylinder gauge, which can be purchased here. However if you do not want to use to gauge, it is still possible to measure what size cylinder you need with a tape measure or ruler:

1. When you open your door, you will see the below:

The first thing to do is to locate the retaining screw (this is the screw that is keeping your current cylinder in place.)

2. If you are using a cylinder gauge, put the centre of the cylinder gauge (B) into the retaining screw hole on your door (there is no need to remove the retaining screw):

Adjust lever (A) and (C) on the gauge to the end of your door handle.

Do not measure what the existing cylinder is at it may be the wrong size and cause the cylinder to overhang, which makes it vulnerable to burglars.

3. On side A, read off the measurement (i.e. 45mm.) On side C, read off the measurement (i.e. 35mm.) Depending on which type of cylinder you want to use, it may only fit one way round, so make a note of which side is the external side (outside.) In this example, we will say that the external side is side A.

3A. If you are using a ruler or tape measure, measure from the centre of the retaining screw to the end of your handle on side A, and repeat with side C. Always round your measurements to the nearest 5mm, so if you get a measurement of 43mm round it up to 45mm, or if the measurement is 42mm round it down to 40mm.

4. You will now have 2 measurements: Side A = 45mm and Side C = 35mm. Adding these measurements together will give you an overall measurement of 80mm.

5. If you are planning on purchasing a key/key cylinder that can only be fitted one way round (for example the UAP 3* Kinetica cylinders) then the cylinder you need is a 80mm 35/45EX cylinder (the EX shows which side is external.) However if you are puchasing a cylinder that can be fitted either way round, you can purchase either 80mm 35/45 or a 80mm 45/35 cylinder (they are both exactly the same.)

5A. If you are planning on purchasing a thumb turn cylinder, it can only be fitted one way round with the thumb turn side being on the internal side (inside.) You would therefore need a cylinder which is a 80mm 35T/45 cylinder (the T shows which side the thumb turn goes on.)

Please note - you will see the cylinder options set out as Xmm X/X (X-10-X). For example, 80mm 35/45 (30-10-40). The X-10-X measurement is just another way that some people measure cylinders (they count the cam in the middle of the cylinder as 10mm and then deduct 5mm for each side.) However you do not need to take notice of this measurement when ordering.

UAP Custom Keyed Alike Cylinders - Thumbturn to Thumbturn Cylinders

To order, simple choose the 2 cylinder sizes and finishes from the option above. Custom keyed alike orders usually take between 2-5 workings days to be dispatched.

Please note - The thumbturn is on the 'T' side on the thumbturn cylinder codes.

Keep intruders out with the attractive and inexpensive Keyed Alike Cylinder from UAP Trade Locks. There are 2 cylinder in total, with each being keyed to the same key. This means that your customers can now use the same key on their front and back door locks.


We have a team of in-house locksmiths who can create custom keyed alike orders on any number of cylinders, across a range of different sizes and finishes. Please note that the Kitemark status on the cylinder will be affected if a non-Kitemarked accredited locksmith attempts to re-pin the cylinder. 


Focusing on improving your homes security with the most inexpensive options on the market today is key to protecting your home from the break-in spike in England and Scotland. Finding the best quality door hardware is key in the UK these days as burglars are getting more and more desperate to get into your homes and using techniques such as picking, drilling, bumping, and snapping they can get into most homes without front door security. Taking steps to protecting your homes entryways is inexpensive and the UAP Keyed Alike Cylinder can help you in keeping intruders out.


Finding cylinder locks in the UK is relatively simple, however, finding a knowledgeable company that can offer you safe and secure cylinders that are easy to install and able to help protect your home is not. UAP Trade Locks has numerous highly knowledgeable representatives that will help you every step of the way in choosing the ideal Euro Cylinder for your front door. The Kitemarked Keyed Alike Cylinder is ideal primarily because of its numerous features which are acknowledged with the respectable ‘Secured by Design’ approval by the Association of Chief Police Officers, and British Standard Kitemark from BSi (KM 561977). Features are included in the cylinder to help slow down cylinder attacks from intruders using the most common and popular techniques for braking into homes:

 

Sacrificial Cut: The cylinder has sacrificial cut lines on each side of the cylinder to slow down cylinder attacks.

Anti-Bump: The cylinder has a Patented 'timing pin' system to stop lock bumping. With this new system, there are over 800,000 different key combinations possible. 

Anti-Pick: Special 3x stainless steel anti-pick pins on both sides of cylinder to help prevent the lock from being picked by intruders.

Anti-Drill: Added security that your lock cannot be drilled with anything but a special drill there are 3x stainless steel anti-drill pins on both sides of the Euro cylinder. Two are located in the barrel and two in the plug.
 

Each cylinder comes with 3 keys as standard (additional keys are available on request at an additional charge). UAP key blanks are also available to purchase to have the key cut yourself (the UAP key balnk is around 2mm longer than a traditional key blank, so traditional key blanks will not work on UAP cylinders). The key blank is standard, and not a car key shape - meaning that it will not be very expensive to have replacement keys cut.
 

Though any determined intruder will find a way to break into a home when they set their minds to it, however, few stray from the common techniques as they are the fastest, the quietest, and certainly most effective. If they feel hindered at any point they are likely to move on as running the risk of being caught is not worth it. Protect your home and family with the numerous home security options from UAP Trade Locks. The Kitemarked Keyed Alike Cylinder from Trade Locks is the best and most inexpensive front door security option on the UK market.
