Half Cylinder at Thirard
The half cylinder lock, also known as a single cylinder or blind cylinder, is an essential component for securing interior doors in homes and various storage areas. Unlike the double cylinder or double entry cylinder, the half cylinder operates from only one side, providing secure locking for one-sided applications.
Key Features of the Half Cylinder:
Design and Dimensions:
- The half cylinder has a simplified design with a shortened body, featuring only one rotor.
- Common dimensions for the rotor side include lengths of 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, and 70mm, while the non-rotor side typically measures 10mm, minimizing material usage and installation complexity.
Usage:
- Ideal for office doors, cupboards, garage doors, garden sheds, and cellar doors, the half cylinder is perfect for doors requiring external locking only.
- It is also used in key switches for metal shutters and in anti-panic handle installations.
Security Considerations:
- When choosing a half cylinder, it’s crucial to select the correct size to match the door thickness for optimal fitting.
- For enhanced security, consider models equipped with anti-drill and anti-tear systems to prevent break-ins.
Customization:
- On request, half cylinders can be manufactured as double entry cylinders or knob cylinders in a keyed alike version, allowing multiple cylinders to be operated with the same key.
