Product Information

Full details

The Yale 6 Pin Euro Double Cylinder is designed for homeowners looking to upgrade their door security on PVCu, timber, or composite doors. Its primary benefit is the enhanced security provided by a patented key system and robust protection against picking and bumping. While it offers excellent durability and fire resistance, users should note it is a fixed-size cylinder, so precise measurement of your existing door lock is essential before purchase.

FAQs

What does the 45-55mm measurement mean?

This refers to the lengths from the center of the cam to each end of the cylinder, essential for ensuring the lock fits flush within your door thickness.

Are these locks drill-resistant?

The Yale 6-pin system includes standard hardening features, but it is primarily optimized for anti-pick and anti-bump protection.

Can I have more keys cut at a local hardware store?

Due to the patented key system, you generally need to visit an authorized Yale locksmith to ensure the key is duplicated correctly.

Is this cylinder suitable for a fire door?

Yes, this model is specifically rated for FD30 and FD60 fire doors.

What happens if I lose all my keys?

Because the system is patented, you will need to provide your proof of ownership or key card to an authorized locksmith to order replacements.

Does this include the handle?

No, this is only the cylinder lock; handles are sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to insert or turn

Ensure the cylinder is not under tension from misaligned door furniture. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant.

Retaining screw will not catch

Check that the cylinder is centered perfectly in the lock case, allowing the screw hole to align with the threaded insert.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level security with anti-pick and anti-bump mechanisms
  • Certified to BS EN 1303:2015 standards
  • Fire-rated for peace of mind on safety doors
  • Includes three high-quality, restricted keys
  • 96-hour corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor use

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for correct fitment
  • Not adjustable, meaning size must match the specific door thickness
  • Restricted key system requires authorized service for additional copies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward and requires only a screwdriver. 1. Remove the existing retaining screw from the side of the door edge. 2. Insert the key and turn it slightly to align the cam with the cylinder body. 3. Slide the old cylinder out and insert the new Yale cylinder. 4. Re-insert and tighten the provided 50mm retaining screw.

This cylinder is compatible with most standard Euro-profile mortice locks found on PVCu, composite, and timber doors. To care for the mechanism, avoid using heavy lubricants like oil, which can attract dirt; if the key becomes stiff, use a specialized graphite-based powder lubricant.
