1 Star Euro Thumbturn Cylinder

The UAP+ cylinder is the best choice for inexpensive home security installation. Created in accordance with the British Standards Kitemark, and also awarded the “Secured by Design” approval by the Association of Police Officers, the high quality 6 pin double Kitemarked euro cylinder can be fitted to any external door in order to ward off criminals that attempt to use the most popular break-in methods.

The cylinders have been tested to EN1303:2005, and are also 1 hour fire resistant! Each cylinder is packed full of security features, and is part of UAP’s super smooth cylinders using the Chris Belcher designed anti-bump timing pin system. This very clever system uses nickel plated hardened steel key pins and driver pins, which gives the anti-drill feature we wanted to incorporate. The Patented timing pins are designed to interrupt the timing of the pins when bumped, and it is highly effective. And because we use special pins rather than trap pins, we do not have a high expense to get this anti-bump feature! The timing pins have inbuilt anti-picks, and mushroom driver pins, which makes them highly effective against picking.

The cylinders also have a sacrificial cut line on them. If force is applied to the end of the cylinder in an attempt to break the cylinder to gain access, on standard cylinders, the weakest part of the cylinder is the screw hole which is in the centre of the cylinder (as there is less metal here). When force is applied, the cylinder will break away at this screw hole, making it very easy to manipulate the cylinder into opening. On the UAP Double Kitemarked Euro Cylinder, the cylinder will break away to the sacrificial cut line only, leaving the locking mechanism intact. If the cylinder is broken at this sacrificial cut line, the last 2 pins in the chamber remain in the cylinder, meaning that the cylinder can still be locks and unlocked with the key.

The sacrificial cut lines are also on both sides of the cylinder, meaning that the cylinders are reversible and can be fitted any way around. This helps to greatly reduce stock holdings, especially if you supply a range of different sized cylinders.

We have in-house locksmiths which offer you the option to have keyed alike cylinders, 

Please Note – Cylinders with a 25mm side (30mm side if you measure X/X) cannot be keyed alike to a bigger size cylinder which does not have a 25mm side due to the pin spacing. For example, a 25-10-25 cylinder cannot be keyed alike to a 30-10-30 cylinder. However a 25-10-25 cylinder can be keyed alike to a 25-10-45 cylinder.
