This helps to ensure that the quality of finish and performance is maintained over time. The sprung lever can be reduced to accommodate the widest range of locks. This is especially useful for narrower door frames where the cylinder is further back. A shortened lever can also be used on doors with a latch which can be operated with the thumb on the inside.

Lever Pad

A Lever Pad door handle made of upvc functions differently than lever handles found on most doors. The handle can work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from each side using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually utilized on UPVC doors with double glazing.

This reveals pins that can be aligned to those in the lock, allowing them to turn the camera that rotates, opening the door. Euro cylinders can be equipped with up to six pins, with both internal and external doors generally having different levels of security.

They are designed to decrease the chances of an attack by causing the cylinder to rotate in an opposite direction. This will help to deflect the attack and keep your doors safe.

Certain cylinders are constructed to withstand snapping. This is a common attack on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the lock's break line and the front of the cylinder is snapped off.
