Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does "Half Cylinder" mean?
A1: A half cylinder (or single cylinder) is designed to be operated with a key from one side only. The other side is fixed and cannot be operated, making it suitable for doors that don't require access from both sides .
Q2: How do I confirm that the 45mm size will fit my door?
A2: It is crucial to measure your existing cylinder or the door preparation. The 45mm is the total length (dimension C). You also need to measure the distance from the center of the fixing screw/cam to each end of the cylinder (dimensions A and B) to ensure the new cylinder will sit flush with the door escutcheon .
Q3: Can this cylinder be used on a fire door?
A3: A standard EN 1303 cylinder is tested for security and durability. For a certified fire door, you must select a cylinder that is specifically tested and approved for use in fire door assemblies to maintain the door's fire rating. Always check the product's specific fire certification .
