What a Euro Cylinder Is and Why It Matters
A euro cylinder is a crucial component of modern door security that we can't overlook. It's the keyed barrel at the heart of UPVC, composite, or aluminum doors across North London.
We see it everywhere, from the new builds in Drayton Park to the estate composite doors in Finsbury Park. The cylinder operates the multipoint mechanism, making it the most common lock type around.
Its significance lies in security. Older cylinders are vulnerable to lock-snapping attacks, where intruders can easily break the cylinder and access the door.
That's why the TS007 3-Star Kitemark anti-snap cylinder is essential. It features a sacrificial front that breaks away during an attack, protecting the secure core. This design is increasingly required by insurers for North London properties.
Choosing the right euro cylinder means enhancing security and meeting insurance requirements, ensuring our homes stay safe.
