These handles are operated by a single spindle or by two spindles inline or offset. They are generally employed on UPVC double glazed doors and are available in a variety of variations and finishes.

Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins. Doors that are internal and external require different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder is vital. It's dependent on the amount of use your doors and handles receive. For example, external doors must be secured with an extra secure cylinder, while internal doors can be secured using an ordinary cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders have extra features that increase security, for instance anti-drill or anti-bump properties.

A euro cylinder must be properly measured to ensure that it is the correct size for your door.
