A shortened lever can also be used for doors with latches that can be activated with the thumb located on the inside.

Lever Pad

The lever pad upvc handle differs from the lever handles that are commonly found on doors. These handle types can either work off one single spindle (inline) or independently from each side using two inline or offset spindles (pad).

They operate with a key to unlock a cylinder case that will reveal pins that can be aligned with the pins in the lock body, allow them to rotate the cam, thereby opening the door. Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with external and internal doors typically having different levels of security.

The choice of the correct cylinder is vitally important; this depends on how your doors and handle are utilized. External doors, for instance, should be fitted with higher security cylinders, whereas internal doors can be secured with a standard cylinder. In addition, some cylinders have extra features that increase security even more, like anti-drill or anti-bump features.

To ensure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it must be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the central fixing screw hole to the end of the cylinder, including the thumb turn if you have one. If you cannot measure using the lock in its position, you can take it out of it. It is crucial to avoid having a cylindrical lock that extends beyond the handle or escutcheon. This could make it vulnerable to lock snapping attacks.

The design of many modern cylinders comes with anti-drilling as well as bump resistance features. These are designed to reduce attack chances by forcing the cylinders to turn in a different direction. This will help to deflect attacks and ensure your door is secure.

There are also cylinders made to withstand snapping. This is a common occurrence on cylinders. A specific tool is used to break the lock's break line and then the front of the cylinder is snapped off.
